Semantic Analysis
Semantic Analysis — 2 Timothy (Full Book) — English → Indonesian
Purpose and Method
This document analyzes 2 Timothy in the original Koine Greek, chapter by chapter, first to last, with the core passage (3:14–4:5) receiving full verse-by-verse treatment. For every load-bearing term the following fields are given: original word (Greek + lexical form), transliteration, literal meaning, semantic range, English variants (as rendered across major English versions), contextual theological meaning in 2 Timothy, and destination-language (Indonesian) rendering risk.
Where a term already exists in the baseline Romans translation_memory.json / bible_term_registry.json, the recorded Indonesian rendering is reused exactly and marked “(baseline term — reused).” New terms introduced by this curriculum are marked “(NEW)” and assigned a risk tier consistent with the baseline’s Critical/High/Medium/Low framework, with grounded reasoning specific to the Indonesian Muslim-majority context.
Doctrines in view (per curriculum parameters): Inspiration and Sufficiency of Scripture; Perseverance under Suffering; Guarding Sound Doctrine; Faithful Transmission of the Gospel; The Charge to Preach the Word; Apostasy and False Teachers in the Last Days; Assurance of Reward.
CORE PASSAGE: 2 Timothy 3:14–4:5 — Verse-by-Verse Analysis
3:14 — “But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it,”
Greek: Σὺ δὲ μένε ἐν οἷς ἔμαθες καὶ ἐπιστώθης, εἰδὼς παρὰ τίνων ἔμαθες
| Field | μένε (menō) | ἔμαθες (manthanō) | ἐπιστώθης (pistoō) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transliteration | menō (imperative) | emathes | epistōthēs |
| Literal meaning | remain, stay, abide | you learned | you were made certain/convinced |
| Semantic range | continue, persevere, dwell | learn by instruction or experience | to make trustworthy/be assured, root shares pistis (faith) |
| English variants | continue, remain, abide | learned | firmly believed, been convinced of, were assured of |
| Contextual meaning | Timothy is charged to persevere in received apostolic teaching, not innovate away from it | learning under Paul’s personal discipleship (cf. 1:5, 3:10) | passive verb: conviction produced in Timothy by the reliability of the source, not self-generated certainty |
| Indonesian rendering | tetaplah / berpeganglah pada | telah engkau pelajari | telah engkau yakini dengan pasti |
| Risk tier | Medium | Low | High |
| Risk reasoning | ”tetaplah” must convey active perseverance in a fixed body of teaching, not open-ended spiritual seeking | — | ἐπιστώθης shares the pistis-root (baseline: iman = High risk). Must not be flattened to generic “believed” (percaya) detached from the personal, apostolic chain of transmission that produced the conviction — this is the doctrine of Faithful Transmission of the Gospel in miniature. |
3:15 — “and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.”
Greek: καὶ ὅτι ἀπὸ βρέφους τὰ ἱερὰ γράμματα οἶδας, τὰ δυνάμενά σε σοφίσαι εἰς σωτηρίαν διὰ πίστεως τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ
| Term | ἱερὰ γράμματα (hiera grammata) | σοφίσαι (sophizō) | σωτηρίαν (sōtēria) | πίστεως (pistis) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transliteration | hiera grammata | sophisai | sōtērian | pisteōs |
| Literal meaning | sacred letters/writings | to make wise | salvation, deliverance | faith |
| Semantic range | the Jewish sacred scrolls, OT canon | impart wisdom, make skillful | rescue, wholeness, deliverance | trust, reliance, conviction |
| English variants | sacred writings, holy scriptures, scriptures | make you wise, give wisdom | salvation | faith |
| Contextual meaning | the OT Scriptures Timothy was raised on from infancy (through Lois/Eunice, 1:5) — the sufficient foundation of his instruction before Paul ever discipled him | Scripture’s wisdom is soteriological, aimed at salvation, not merely informational | reuse baseline: (Doctrine: Salvation) | reuse baseline: (Doctrine: Faith) |
| Indonesian rendering | Kitab Suci | menjadikan bijaksana / memberi hikmat | keselamatan (baseline term — reused exactly) | iman (baseline term — reused exactly) |
| Risk tier | High | Low | Critical (per baseline) | High (per baseline) |
| Risk reasoning | ”Kitab Suci” is a generic religious category in Indonesian — Muslims call the Qur’an, and even the Torah/Injil as they understand it, “Kitab Suci.” Every occurrence must be anchored explicitly to the Old Testament Scriptures fulfilled in and pointing toward Christ Jesus, not left as an interchangeable label alongside other faiths’ “Kitab Suci.” | — | Must not be softened into a generic sense of “well-being” or reframed as attainable through submission-plus-deeds. | Salvation-wisdom comes specifically “through faith in Christ Jesus,” not generic religious devotion — this is the anchor the whole verse turns on. |
3:16 — “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness,”
Greek: πᾶσα γραφὴ θεόπνευστος καὶ ὠφέλιμος πρὸς διδασκαλίαν, πρὸς ἐλεγμόν, πρὸς ἐπανόρθωσιν, πρὸς παιδείαν τὴν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ
| Term | γραφή (graphē) | θεόπνευστος (theopneustos) | ὠφέλιμος (ōphelimos) | διδασκαλίαν (didaskalia) | ἐλεγμόν (elegmos) | ἐπανόρθωσιν (epanorthōsis) | παιδείαν (paideia) | δικαιοσύνῃ (dikaiosynē) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transliteration | graphē | theopneustos | ōphelimos | didaskalian | elegmon | epanorthōsin | paideian | dikaiosynē |
| Literal meaning | writing | God-breathed | beneficial, useful | teaching | reproof, exposure of error | restoration, straightening out | discipline/training (as of a child) | righteousness |
| Semantic range | the technical NT term for the OT (and by extension inspired NT) canon | theos (God) + pneō (breathe) — a coinage found nowhere else in the NT | profitable, advantageous | instruction, doctrine | conviction of fault, rebuke | setting right what is crooked | child-rearing discipline, moral formation | right standing/right conduct |
| English variants | Scripture, the scriptures, all scripture | God-breathed, inspired by God, given by inspiration of God | profitable, useful, beneficial | teaching, doctrine | reproof, rebuke, exposing error | correction, correcting faults | training, instruction, discipline | righteousness |
| Contextual meaning | The entire canon of Scripture, without remainder, has a single divine source | Scripture did not originate in human insight; it is the product of God’s own outbreathing through human authors — this is the doctrinal core of Inspiration and Sufficiency of Scripture | Scripture’s usefulness is comprehensive: it covers teaching truth, exposing error, restoring the fallen, and forming righteous character | reuse baseline pattern | correcting doctrinal and moral error, tied to Guarding Sound Doctrine | forming godly character through Scripture, ongoing sanctifying use | reuse baseline: (Doctrine: Salvation) | |
| Indonesian rendering | Kitab Suci [established TB variant: “tulisan”] | diilhamkan Allah (TB-established phrase) | bermanfaat | pengajaran | menyatakan kesalahan | memperbaiki kelakuan | mendidik | kebenaran (baseline term — reused exactly) |
| Risk tier | Critical | Critical | Low | Medium | Medium | Medium | Medium | Critical (per baseline) |
| Risk reasoning | The Alkitab TB itself renders γραφή here as “tulisan” rather than “Kitab Suci,” while elsewhere (e.g. John 5:39) it renders the same Greek word as “Kitab Suci.” Phase 2 must standardize this decision and flag it: recommend “Kitab Suci yang diilhamkan Allah” for maximum doctrinal clarity across the curriculum, while noting the TB variant for cross-reference consistency with LAI editions learners may already own. | θεόπνευστος is the single most theologically load-bearing word in the whole book for the Inspiration doctrine. “Diilhamkan Allah” must be taught, every occurrence, as distinct from the Islamic doctrine of wahyu — verbatim dictation of a closed, final revelation to one prophet (Muhammad) via the angel Gabriel. Scripture’s inspiration here is the Spirit’s superintending of many human authors across centuries producing a completed, sufficient, already-closed canon — not an ongoing or dictated process, and not one that requires a “seal of the prophets” framework to be understood as complete. | — | — | — | — | — |
3:17 — “that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
Greek: ἵνα ἄρτιος ᾗ ὁ τοῦ θεοῦ ἄνθρωπος, πρὸς πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθὸν ἐξηρτισμένος
| Term | ἄρτιος (artios) | ὁ τοῦ θεοῦ ἄνθρωπος (ho tou theou anthrōpos) | ἐξηρτισμένος (exartizō) | ἔργον ἀγαθὸν (ergon agathon) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transliteration | artios | ho tou theou anthrōpos | exērtismenos | ergon agathon |
| Literal meaning | fit, complete, proficient | the man/person belonging to God | fully furnished, equipped | good work |
| Semantic range | capable, adequate for a task | an OT title for prophets/leaders (Moses, Elijah, Samuel) now applied to a NT minister of the word | equip, outfit completely | deed done in obedience to God |
| English variants | complete, proficient, adequate | man of God | equipped, thoroughly equipped, furnished | good work(s) |
| Contextual meaning | Scripture’s sufficiency (v.16) produces this result: a fully capable minister | Timothy stands in the line of Scripture-formed servants of God — a functional, not hereditary or prophetic-office, title | Scripture, not extra revelation, is what fully equips | ministry action flowing from Scripture-formed character |
| Indonesian rendering | cakap / sempurna | manusia kepunyaan Allah (TB-established phrase, avoiding a literal “manusia Allah”) | diperlengkapi dengan sepenuhnya | perbuatan baik |
| Risk tier | Low | High | Medium | Low |
| Risk reasoning | — | A literal “manusia Allah” could be heard as echoing the honorific “wali Allah” (friend/saint of God) venerated in Indonesian Sufi-influenced piety, or could sound like a claim of quasi-divine status. TB’s “manusia kepunyaan Allah” (a person who belongs to God) is the safer, established rendering and should be required. | Must convey Scripture as the sufficient equipping source (Sufficiency of Scripture doctrine), not one input among several needed to reach completeness. | — |
4:1 — “I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:”
Greek: Διαμαρτύρομαι ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ, τοῦ μέλλοντος κρίνειν ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς, καὶ τὴν ἐπιφάνειαν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ
| Term | Διαμαρτύρομαι (diamartyromai) | κρίνειν (krinō) | ἐπιφάνειαν (epiphaneia) | βασιλείαν (basileia) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transliteration | diamartyromai | krinein | epiphaneian | basileian |
| Literal meaning | to solemnly testify/charge | to judge | appearing, manifestation | kingdom |
| Semantic range | a formal, binding declaration made before witnesses; stronger than ordinary exhortation | judicial decision, discrimination between right and wrong | shining forth, becoming visible; used of both Christ’s incarnation (1:10) and his return (4:1, 8) | reign, sovereign rule, realm |
| English variants | I charge you, I solemnly charge, I give you this charge | judge | appearing, coming, manifestation | kingdom |
| Contextual meaning | This is a legal-style oath sworn before the divine Judge himself, making the coming command (v.2) as binding as possible — the doctrinal core of “The Charge to Preach the Word” | Christ Jesus, not merely God the Father in the abstract, is the judge of all humanity — ties to Lordship/Deity of Christ | Christ’s epiphaneia here is his future, visible return in glory as judge and king; the same word described his first incarnate coming in 1:10 | Christ’s kingdom, already inaugurated, to be consummated at his appearing — reuse baseline Kingdom of God pattern |
| Indonesian rendering | Dengan sungguh-sungguh aku berpesan / menugaskan | menghakimi | kedatangan-Nya | Kerajaan-Nya (Kerajaan Allah baseline pattern, applied to Christ’s reign) |
| Risk tier | High | Medium | Critical | Medium |
| Risk reasoning | Must convey a solemn, unbreakable charge sworn before God and Christ as witnesses — not casual pastoral advice. Weakening this to ordinary exhortation (menasihati) undermines the whole doctrine of “The Charge to Preach the Word.” | Reuse baseline pattern (menghakimi, doctrine: Lordship/Judgment); note Christ Jesus, not a created intermediary, is Judge. | This same Greek word describes both Christ’s first coming (incarnation, 1:10 — already Critical per baseline’s Incarnation doctrine) and his future coming as Judge and King (4:1, 8). In Indonesian this must be handled with two linked but distinguishable phrases: “kedatangan [Kristus Yesus] yang pertama” (incarnation) and “kedatangan-Nya” (future appearing, contextually the Second Coming) — and must never be collapsed into the Islamic eschatological expectation of Isa al-Masih’s future return, in which Isa returns as a righteous prophet-figure who defeats al-Dajjal and dies a natural death, not as the divine Judge consummating his own eternal kingdom. This is a direct extension of the baseline’s Critical-risk Sonship/Deity of Christ doctrines into the “Last Days” curriculum. | Distinguish from an earthly political kerajaan, per baseline note. |
4:2 — “preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.”
Greek: κήρυξον τὸν λόγον, ἐπίστηθι εὐκαίρως ἀκαίρως, ἔλεγξον, ἐπιτίμησον, παρακάλεσον, ἐν πάσῃ μακροθυμίᾳ καὶ διδαχῇ
| Term | κήρυξον (kēryssō) | τὸν λόγον (logos) | ἐπίστηθι (ephistēmi) | ἔλεγξον (elenchō) | ἐπιτίμησον (epitimaō) | παρακάλεσον (parakaleō) | μακροθυμίᾳ (makrothymia) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transliteration | kēryxon | ton logon | epistēthi | elenxon | epitimēson | parakaleson | makrothymia |
| Literal meaning | proclaim as a herald | the word | stand ready, be at hand | expose/convict of fault | rebuke sternly | call alongside, exhort/comfort | long-suffering, patience |
| Semantic range | official public proclamation, not private opinion-sharing | message, specifically the gospel message/apostolic teaching | be urgently ready, press on | reprove, refute, bring to conviction | rebuke, censure | encourage, comfort, urge | forbearance under provocation |
| English variants | preach, proclaim | the word, God’s word | be ready, be urgent, be prepared | reprove, correct, convince | rebuke | exhort, encourage, appeal | patience, longsuffering |
| Contextual meaning | This is the imperative center of “The Charge to Preach the Word” — a herald’s announcement of a message not his own | the apostolic gospel message, distinct from human opinion | readiness regardless of convenience or reception | correcting doctrinal/moral error — ties to Guarding Sound Doctrine | strong correction of persistent error | reuse baseline menasihati (Mutual Edification) | pastoral patience undergirding all correction |
| Indonesian rendering | beritakanlah | firman [Allah] | bersedialah / siap sedialah | nyatakanlah kesalahan | tegurlah | menasihati (baseline term — reused) | kesabaran |
| Risk tier | High | Medium | Low | Medium | Low | Low (per baseline) | Low |
| Risk reasoning | ”Beritakanlah” must retain the sense of authoritative herald-proclamation (kērygma), not a soft suggestion — core verb of the whole curriculum’s central doctrine. | ”Firman” (capitalized, as in baseline’s “Firman yang menjadi manusia”) should be used consistently for the proclaimed apostolic word of God across this curriculum, distinct from “kata” (an ordinary word). | — | Must be distinguished in Indonesian from mere criticism; this is Scripture-grounded correction (cf. 3:16’s ἐλεγμόν, same root). | — | — | — |
4:3 — “For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,”
Greek: ἔσται γὰρ καιρὸς ὅτε τῆς ὑγιαινούσης διδασκαλίας οὐκ ἀνέξονται, ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὰς ἰδίας ἐπιθυμίας ἑαυτοῖς ἐπισωρεύσουσιν διδασκάλους κνηθόμενοι τὴν ἀκοήν
| Term | ὑγιαινούσης διδασκαλίας (hygiainousēs didaskalias) | ἀνέξονται (anechomai) | ἐπιθυμίας (epithymia) | ἐπισωρεύσουσιν (episōreuō) | κνηθόμενοι τὴν ἀκοήν |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transliteration | hygiainousēs didaskalias | anexontai | epithymias | episōreusousin | knēthomenoi tēn akoēn |
| Literal meaning | healthy/sound teaching | to endure, put up with | desires, cravings | to heap up, accumulate | having ears that itch |
| Semantic range | metaphor from bodily health — teaching that produces spiritual wholeness | tolerate, bear with | sinful appetites/passions | pile up in excess | an idiom for insatiable curiosity/craving for novel or flattering messages |
| English variants | sound doctrine, sound teaching, healthy teaching | endure, tolerate, put up with | passions, desires, own likings | accumulate, gather, surround themselves with | itching ears |
| Contextual meaning | The core term for “Guarding Sound Doctrine” — teaching is not merely “correct” but health-giving, in contrast to the “gangrene” of false teaching (2:17) | future apostasy: rejection not of Christianity generally but of sound teaching specifically | self-serving desire replaces the pursuit of truth as the criterion for choosing teachers | consumer-religion posture — collecting teachers who please rather than correct | an idiom; kept as an idiom in Indonesian since it already exists in established Bible usage |
| Indonesian rendering | pengajaran yang sehat | tidak dapat menerima / tidak tahan | hawa nafsu / keinginan sendiri | mengumpulkan | telinga yang gatal |
| Risk tier | High | Medium | Medium | Low | Low |
| Risk reasoning | ”Pengajaran yang sehat” must retain the health/wholeness metaphor (contrasted later in 2:17 with a spreading gangrene), not be flattened to a bare “benar” (correct), which loses the organic image central to this doctrine. | — | — | — | The idiom “telinga yang gatal” is already an established phrase in Indonesian Bible translation (Alkitab TB) — retain per the idiom-handling rule (find natural equivalents, preserve doctrinal content); low risk since it carries no competing religious loading. |
4:4 — “and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.”
Greek: καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἀληθείας τὴν ἀκοὴν ἀποστρέψουσιν, ἐπὶ δὲ τοὺς μύθους ἐκτραπήσονται
| Term | ἀληθείας (alētheia) | ἀποστρέψουσιν (apostrephō) | μύθους (mythos) | ἐκτραπήσονται (ektrepō) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transliteration | alētheias | apostrepsousin | mythous | ektrapēsontai |
| Literal meaning | truth | turn away | myths, fables | be turned aside/diverted |
| Semantic range | objective reality, especially the gospel truth | reject, avert one’s attention from | invented stories without factual/historical basis | to be led off a straight path |
| English variants | truth | turn away, turn aside | myths, fables, tales | wander away, turn aside, be diverted |
| Contextual meaning | the objective, apostolic gospel content, contrasted with self-invented religious narrative — core to Apostasy and False Teachers doctrine | a deliberate rejection, not passive drift alone | speculative religious fictions, whether Jewish genealogical speculation (cf. Titus 1:14, 1 Tim 1:4) or Greco-Roman fable | the destination of those who reject sound teaching |
| Indonesian rendering | kebenaran | akan berpaling / menutup telinga dari | dongeng / mitos | akan menyimpang kepada |
| Risk tier | Medium | Medium | Low | Low |
| Risk reasoning | ”Kebenaran” here (truth, from alētheia) is a different underlying Greek root than “kebenaran” used for dikaiosynē (righteousness) elsewhere in this curriculum and in Romans — same Indonesian word covers two distinct Greek concepts. Phase 2 segments must disambiguate by context; flag for native speaker review wherever both senses could be confused within one lesson. | — | — | — |
4:5 — “As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.”
Greek: σὺ δὲ νῆφε ἐν πᾶσιν, κακοπάθησον, ἔργον ποίησον εὐαγγελιστοῦ, τὴν διακονίαν σου πληροφόρησον
| Term | νῆφε (nēphō) | κακοπάθησον (kakopatheō) | εὐαγγελιστοῦ (euangelistēs) | διακονίαν (diakonia) | πληροφόρησον (plērophoreō) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transliteration | nēphe | kakopathēson | euangelistou | diakonian | plērophorēson |
| Literal meaning | be sober, clear-headed | suffer/endure hardship | one who proclaims good news | service, ministry | fulfill completely |
| Semantic range | freedom from intoxication/confusion, spiritual alertness | endure hardship, suffer evil | a Christian office/function of gospel-proclamation | practical service, ministry function | carry out fully, bring to completion |
| English variants | be sober-minded, keep a clear head, be watchful | endure suffering, endure hardship, suffer | evangelist | ministry, service | fulfill, discharge fully, carry out fully |
| Contextual meaning | vigilant clarity in a culture of itching-ears religion | direct link to Perseverance under Suffering doctrine — the charge to preach cannot be separated from a willingness to suffer for it | the specific ministry function of gospel-proclamation to the lost, distinct from the pastoral-teaching functions named in v.2 | Timothy’s whole calling, summarized | leaving nothing undone in ministry |
| Indonesian rendering | sadarlah / waspadalah senantiasa | tanggunglah penderitaan / bertahanlah dalam kesukaran | pemberita Injil / penginjil | pelayanan | penuhilah dengan sungguh-sungguh |
| Risk tier | Low | High | Medium | Low | Low |
| Risk reasoning | — | This κακοπαθέω verb (same root as 2:9, 1:8’s suffering vocabulary) is central to Perseverance under Suffering; must not be softened into generic patience but must retain the sense of actively bearing hardship/evil treatment for the gospel’s sake. | ”Pemberita Injil / penginjil” builds on the baseline’s established Injil; must retain Injil’s anchoring to the specific NT proclamation of Christ crucified and risen (per baseline note), not a generic “good-news bringer.” | — | — |
CHAPTER-BY-CHAPTER STUDY OF THE WHOLE BOOK
Chapter 1 (1:1–18)
| Terms | Variants | Contextual Meaning | Indonesian Rendering | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| apostle ἀπόστολος / apostolos one sent | authorized, sent representative apostle | Paul’s authoritative office as founder-apostle | rasul (baseline — reused) | Critical (per baseline) |
| mercy ἔλεος / eleos mercy, compassion | pity shown to the needy/guilty mercy | God’s compassionate favor, distinct from charis (grace) in the greeting formula | rahmat | High (NEW) — “Rahmat” is the established TB rendering for eleos and is linguistically accurate (mercy/compassion), but it is also the specific Arabic-derived term for Allah’s defining attribute ar-Rahman/ar-Rahim in Islamic theology. Every occurrence must anchor this mercy to God’s covenant faithfulness shown concretely in Christ’s atoning work, not left as a free-floating, generic divine-compassion attribute detached from the cross. |
| sincere/unfeigned faith ἀνυπόκριτος πίστις / anhypokritos pistis faith without hypocrisy | genuine, non-performative trust sincere faith, unfeigned faith | Timothy’s faith inherited through a genuine family line of faith (Lois, Eunice) | iman yang tulus ikhlas | High (uses baseline iman) |
| gift of God / rekindle χάρισμα θεοῦ / ἀναζωπυρεῖν / charisma theou / anazōpyrein God’s gift / to rekindle a flame | Spirit-given enablement; to fan into flame gift of God; stir up, rekindle, fan into flame | Timothy’s ordination gift, received through the laying on of hands, needing active stirring | karunia Allah (baseline karunia rohani pattern) / mengobarkan (kembali) | Medium |
| laying on of hands ἐπίθεσις τῶν χειρῶν / epithesis tōn cheirōn placing of the hands | ordination rite laying on of hands | commissioning rite through which the gift was given | penumpangan tangan | Low |
| spirit of fear / spirit of power, love, self-control πνεῦμα δειλίας / πνεῦμα δυνάμεως καὶ ἀγάπης καὶ σωφρονισμοῦ spirit of cowardice / spirit of power and love and sound mind | timidity vs. Spirit-given boldness fear/timidity vs. power, love, self-control | God’s Spirit produces boldness for the ministry of the word, not fearful withdrawal — directly feeds the Charge to Preach doctrine | roh ketakutan / roh kuasa, kasih, dan penguasaan diri | Medium |
| ashamed ἐπαισχύνομαι / epaischynomai to be ashamed | shrink back from, feel shame over be ashamed, be embarrassed | Timothy must not be ashamed of the gospel testimony or of Paul’s imprisonment — links to Faithful Transmission and Perseverance under Suffering | malu (jangan malu) | Medium |
| testimony μαρτύριον / martyrion testimony, witness | attestation, evidence given testimony | the gospel witness about Christ and the apostolic testimony to it | kesaksian | Low |
| share in suffering συγκακοπαθέω / synkakopatheō to suffer together with | joint participation in hardship share in suffering, join in suffering | Timothy is called to suffer alongside Paul for the gospel — Perseverance under Suffering | turut menderita | High |
| called with a holy calling κλήσει ἁγίᾳ / klēsei hagia with a holy calling | effectual, sanctifying summons holy calling | reuse baseline panggilan / kudus patterns, applied specifically to salvation-in-Christ, “not because of our works” | panggilan kudus (baseline terms combined — reused) | Medium (per baseline) |
| Savior σωτήρ / sōtēr savior, deliverer | one who rescues/delivers from peril Savior | title for Christ Jesus, tied to his defeat of death — reuse pattern with baseline’s Lord/Son of God cluster | Juruselamat | High (NEW) — “Juruselamat” is the long-established Indonesian Christian title; risk lies in the underlying claim (Christ personally accomplishes rescue from death and sin), which has no equivalent in the Islamic understanding of Isa as a prophet who did not die and whose role is not substitutionary rescue. Requires the same contextual framing discipline as Mesias and Anak Allah. |
| abolished death / brought life and immortality to light καταργήσαντος τὸν θάνατον / φωτίσαντος ζωὴν καὶ ἀφθαρσίαν rendering death powerless / shining light on life and incorruption | victory over death; disclosure of eternal life abolished death, destroyed death; brought life and immortality to light | Christ’s saving work accomplished through his epiphaneia (appearing) — direct link to Resurrection and Incarnation doctrines already Critical in baseline | membinasakan maut / menyatakan hidup dan ketidakbinasaan | High |
| immortality ἀφθαρσία / aphtharsia incorruption, imperishability | freedom from decay/death immortality, incorruption | the eternal life disclosed through the gospel | kekekalan / ketidakbinasaan | Medium (NEW) |
| preacher, apostle, teacher κήρυξ καὶ ἀπόστολος καὶ διδάσκαλος / kēryx kai apostolos kai didaskalos herald and sent-one and teacher | Paul’s threefold self-description preacher, apostle, teacher | grounds Paul’s authority to charge Timothy in ch.4 — links directly to Charge to Preach doctrine | pemberita (Injil) dan rasul dan guru | High (κήρυξ NEW; rasul baseline Critical) |
| deposit / entrusted παραθήκη / parathēkē that which is deposited/entrusted for safekeeping | a trust placed in someone’s custody that which was committed to me, the deposit, the treasure entrusted | the apostolic gospel content, personally entrusted to Timothy to guard and pass on — the doctrinal center of Guarding Sound Doctrine and Faithful Transmission | apa yang telah dipercayakan kepadaku/kepadamu | Critical (NEW) — this is the closest 2 Timothy concept to the baseline’s “imputed_righteousness”-level care requirement: it names a fixed, bounded, already-given content (the apostolic gospel) which must be guarded and passed on unchanged, categorically different from an evolving, community-negotiated body of teaching. Every occurrence needs a note distinguishing this “closed and entrusted” content from a living tradition subject to later authoritative reinterpretation (a live risk in a context where competing scriptural-authority claims are common). |
| guard/keep φυλάσσω / phylassō to guard, keep watch over | protect, keep safe guard, keep | active custodianship of the entrusted gospel | menjaga / memelihara | High |
| pattern of sound words ὑποτύπωσις ὑγιαινόντων λόγων / hypotypōsis hygiainontōn logōn outline/pattern of healthy words | a model to be imitated pattern of sound words, standard/example of sound teaching | Paul’s own teaching functions as the template for future sound doctrine — Guarding Sound Doctrine | teladan perkataan yang sehat | High (NEW) |
Chapter 2 (2:1–26)
| Terms | Variants | Contextual Meaning | Indonesian Rendering | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| be strengthened in grace ἐνδυναμοῦ ἐν τῇ χάριτι / endynamou en tē chariti be empowered in the grace | receive strength through unmerited favor be strong in the grace | ministry endurance flows from grace, not self-effort — reuse baseline anugerah | dikuatkanlah dalam anugerah | High (per baseline) |
| faithful men πιστοὶ ἄνθρωποι / pistoi anthrōpoi trustworthy/faithful people | reliable, dependable in transmitting truth faithful men, reliable people | the chain of transmission: Paul → Timothy → faithful men → others — the structural mechanism of Faithful Transmission of the Gospel | orang-orang yang setia | High (NEW) — “Setia” (faithful/trustworthy) must be kept distinct from iman (faith, trust exercised) in the glossary; this doctrine turns on identifying trustworthy transmitters, a distinct concept from personal saving faith, and conflating the two Indonesian terms would blur that distinction. |
| soldier / athlete / farmer στρατιώτης / ἀθλέω / γεωργός soldier / to compete as athlete / farmer | three vocational metaphors for disciplined ministry soldier, athlete, farmer | three images reinforcing single-minded endurance — feed Perseverance under Suffering | tentara/prajurit / berlomba / petani | Medium (NEW) |
| crown στέφανος / stephanos (στεφανοῦται, stephanoutai — “is crowned”) victor’s wreath | prize awarded to a winning athlete crown, wreath, prize | anticipates 4:8’s crown of righteousness — Assurance of Reward doctrine begins here | mahkota | High (NEW) — Must not be introduced with merit-based (“earned by effort”) framing; the crown is the reward of finishing according to the rules within a grace-given calling, not a wage independent of grace. See fuller treatment at 4:8. |
| remember Jesus Christ, risen, of the seed of David μνημόνευε Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν ἐγηγερμένον ἐκ νεκρῶν, ἐκ σπέρματος Δαυίδ remember Jesus Christ raised from the dead, of David’s seed | the gospel content in summary remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David | The gospel Paul suffers for and Timothy must guard/transmit is this specific historical content — direct tie between resurrection and Davidic-covenant doctrines already established in baseline Romans, and Faithful Transmission here | kebangkitan / keturunan Daud (baseline terms — reused exactly) | High (per baseline) |
| word of God is not bound ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ οὐ δέδεται / ho logos tou theou ou dedetai the word of God has not been bound/chained | God’s message cannot be imprisoned though its messenger can the word of God is not bound / not chained | Even Paul’s imprisonment cannot stop the gospel’s advance — foundational confidence for both Perseverance and Faithful Transmission | firman Allah tidak terikat/dipenjarakan | Medium (NEW) |
| endure ὑπομένω / hypomenō to remain under, endure | bear up under pressure without giving way endure, bear with, persevere | Paul’s model of endurance “for the sake of the elect” — core verb of Perseverance under Suffering | bertekun / menanggung dengan tekun | High (NEW) — this verb-family (hypomenō/hypomonē) is the single most important vocabulary item for the Perseverance under Suffering doctrine across the whole book (cf. 2:10, 2:12, 3:11). Consistency of rendering across all occurrences is required (see Theological Consistency Rules). |
| the elect ἐκλεκτοί / eklektoi chosen ones | God’s sovereignly chosen people the elect, the chosen | reuse baseline pemilihan concept | orang-orang pilihan | Medium (per baseline election pattern) |
| if we deny him… he remains faithful ἀρνούμεθα / ἀρνήσεται / ἀπιστοῦμεν / πιστὸς παραμένει we deny / he will deny / we are unfaithful / he remains faithful | reject, disown / abandon commitment / God’s unwavering fidelity deny, disown / unfaithful, unbelieving / remains faithful | a hymn-like formula contrasting human unfaithfulness/apostasy with God’s unshakeable faithfulness — direct bridge to Apostasy and False Teachers doctrine | menyangkal / tidak setia / [Ia] tetap setia | High (NEW) — “Menyangkal” (deny/disown) must be reserved for apostasy-level rejection of Christ, distinct from ordinary doubt, wherever this vocabulary recurs (cf. 3:5’s “denying its power”). |
| faithful is the saying πιστὸς ὁ λόγος / pistos ho logos faithful/trustworthy is the word | a fixed formulaic introduction to authoritative sayings trustworthy statement, faithful saying | marks a citation of settled apostolic teaching — ties to Guarding Sound Doctrine’s concern for a fixed body of teaching | perkataan ini benar | Medium (established TB formula) |
| rightly handling the word of truth ὀρθοτομοῦντα τὸν λόγον τῆς ἀληθείας / orthotomounta ton logon tēs alētheias cutting a straight path/furrow with the word of truth | accurate, careful, non-manipulative handling of Scripture rightly dividing, correctly handling, cutting a straight line with | the positive contrast to false teachers who twist Scripture — the operational definition of Guarding Sound Doctrine | memberitakan firman kebenaran dengan tepat/lurus | High (NEW) |
| irreverent babble βεβήλους κενοφωνίας / bebēlous kenophōnias profane/empty talk | godless, vain speech with no spiritual substance irreverent babble, godless chatter, profane and vain babblings | contrasted with sound words; described as spreading “like gangrene” (γάγγραινα) | percakapan yang kosong dan fasik | Medium (NEW) |
| overturn the faith ἀνατρέπουσιν τὴν… πίστιν / anatrepousin tēn pistin they overturn/destroy the faith | subvert, capsize (nautical image) overturn, destroy, upset the faith | false teaching (e.g., claiming the resurrection already happened) can shipwreck believers’ iman — links Apostasy doctrine to baseline iman/kebangkitan terms | membongkar/merusak iman | High (uses baseline iman) |
| God’s foundation stands firm ὁ στερεὸς θεμέλιος τοῦ θεοῦ ἕστηκεν / ho stereos themelios tou theou hestēken the solid foundation of God stands | unshakeable, established base God’s foundation stands firm | assurance that God’s larger purpose is unshaken by individual apostasies — connects to Assurance doctrine | dasar Allah yang kokoh itu tetap berdiri | Medium (NEW) |
| vessels for honor / dishonor σκεύη εἰς τιμήν / εἰς ἀτιμίαν / skeuē eis timēn / eis atimian vessels unto honor/dishonor | household-vessel metaphor for varying uses/purposes among professed believers vessels of honor/dishonor, noble/ignoble use | calls for self-purification to be a vessel fit for honorable use | bejana yang mulia / yang hina | Medium (NEW) |
| cleanse himself ἐκκαθάρῃ ἑαυτόν / ekkatharē heauton cleanse himself out | purify oneself from defiling associations cleanses himself | ethical response to false teaching’s contamination — related to but distinct from pengudusan (sanctification, Spirit’s ongoing work) | menyucikan diri | Medium (NEW) |
| flee / pursue φεῦγε / δίωκε / pheuge / diōke flee! / pursue! | avoid decisively / actively chase after flee…pursue | twin imperatives: flee youthful passions, pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace | larilah / kejarlah — kebenaran, iman, kasih, damai sejahtera (baseline terms reused) | Medium |
| foolish controversies μωρὰς… ζητήσεις / mōras zētēseis foolish disputes/inquiries | unprofitable religious argumentation foolish and ignorant controversies, foolish disputes | contrasted with gentle correction of erring people — practical outworking of Guarding Sound Doctrine in relationships | perdebatan yang bodoh | Low (NEW) |
| gentle / patient / correcting with gentleness ἤπιον / ἀνεξίκακον / ἐν πραΰτητι παιδεύοντα gentle / patient under wrong / instructing in meekness | disposition required of the one guarding sound doctrine toward opponents gentle, patient, correcting with gentleness | the manner of doctrinal guarding matters as much as its content | lembut / sabar menanggung kesalahan / mendidik dengan lembut | Low (NEW) |
| repentance leading to knowledge of the truth μετάνοιαν εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας / metanoian eis epignōsin alētheias change of mind unto full knowledge of truth | a God-given reversal of direction resulting in accurate perception of gospel truth repentance, leading them to a knowledge of the truth | the hoped-for outcome even for those “captured” by the devil — links Apostasy doctrine to the possibility of gracious recovery | pertobatan yang membawa kepada pengenalan akan kebenaran | High (NEW) — “Pertobatan” (repentance) must be distinguished from the Islamic concept of tawbah (turning back to God through remorse, restitution, and renewed obedience within a deeds-and-mercy framework). Here, repentance is itself something God grants (“God may perhaps grant them repentance”), a sovereign gift leading to true knowledge of Christ, not a self-initiated act of contrition that earns restored standing. |
| snare of the devil παγὶς τοῦ διαβόλου / pagis tou diabolou trap of the devil | entrapment, captivity to the deceiver’s will snare of the devil | the false teachers described in ch.2-3 are themselves captives, not merely villains — a pastoral nuance for the Apostasy doctrine | jerat Iblis | Medium (NEW) |
Chapter 3 (3:1–13) — [3:14–17 treated in Core Passage above]
| Terms | Variants | Contextual Meaning | Indonesian Rendering | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| last days ἐσχάταις ἡμέραις / eschatais hēmerais last/final days | the final period before Christ’s return last days, latter days | the era of moral and spiritual decline marked by these vices — a Pauline term for the whole church age culminating in Christ’s return, already inaugurated (cf. Heb 1:2, Acts 2:17) | pada hari-hari terakhir | High (NEW) — This phrase must be carefully distinguished from the popular Indonesian Islamic concept of akhir zaman, which centers on a specific, widely taught sequence of eschatological signs (the appearance of al-Dajjal, the return of Nabi Isa to defeat him, the coming of Imam Mahdi, etc.) culminating in vindication for the Muslim community. The NT “last days” is a theological category already begun at Christ’s first coming, not primarily a future countdown of dramatic signs, and it culminates in Christ’s own return as divine Judge — not a returning prophet fighting alongside another eschatological figure. |
| times of difficulty καιροὶ χαλεποί / kairoi chalepoi hard/dangerous seasons | perilous, difficult periods times of difficulty, perilous times, dangerous times | sets up the vice list that follows | zaman yang sukar/berbahaya | Medium (NEW) |
| vice list (eighteen terms, 3:2–5) φίλαυτοι, φιλάργυροι, ἀλαζόνες, ὑπερήφανοι, βλάσφημοι, ἀπειθεῖς γονεῦσιν, ἀχάριστοι, ἀνόσιοι, ἄστοργοι, ἄσπονδοι, διάβολοι, ἀκρατεῖς, ἀνήμεροι, ἀφιλάγαθοι, προδόται, προπετεῖς, τετυφωμένοι, φιλήδονοι μᾶλλον ἢ φιλόθεοι lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God | a comprehensive catalogue of relational and spiritual corruption (as listed) | describes the moral character of the last days, and specifically of the false teachers to come — grounds the Apostasy doctrine’s description of the corrupting influence to be resisted | mencintai diri sendiri, mencintai uang, membual, sombong, suka menghujat, tidak taat kepada orang tua, tidak tahu berterima kasih, tidak beribadah, tidak berperasaan, tidak dapat didamaikan, pemfitnah, tidak dapat mengendalikan diri, kasar/bengis, tidak suka yang baik, pengkhianat, tidak berpikir panjang, berlagak tahu, lebih mencintai kenikmatan daripada mencintai Allah | Low (individually) / Medium (as a doctrinal set) — individually low-risk vocabulary; flagged as a set because ἀνόσιοι (“unholy”) stands as the direct antonym of the baseline’s kudus and should be rendered to preserve that contrast (e.g., “tidak kudus” or “tidak beribadah kepada Allah”), not a vaguer “jahat” (evil) that loses the holy/unholy polarity. |
| godliness (form vs. power) μόρφωσιν εὐσεβείας… τὴν δύναμιν αὐτῆς ἠρνημένοι / morphōsin eusebeias… tēn dynamin autēs ērnēmenoi form/outward shape of godliness…having denied its power | outward religious appearance without inward transformative reality having the appearance of godliness but denying its power, a form of religion but without its power | the defining diagnostic of false teachers/false religion in the last days — outward piety detached from the Spirit’s real transforming work | mempunyai rupa ibadah, tetapi menyangkal kuasanya (established TB rendering) | Critical (NEW) — The Alkitab TB itself renders εὐσέβεια here as ibadah, the same word used in Indonesian Islam for the ritual obligatory acts of worship (sholat, puasa, zakat, haji, evaluated toward pahala). Retaining “ibadah” (recommended, since it is the established Bible-translation choice and linguistically fitting) requires a mandatory teaching note every time this passage is used: the text’s own contrast is precisely between outward ritual religiosity (ibadah as form) and inward, Spirit-empowered transformation (the “power” denied by false teachers) — the passage itself supplies the corrective framing, and Phase 2 material must make that explicit rather than assuming readers will supply it. This is one of the highest-risk terms in the entire curriculum. |
| lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God φιλήδονοι μᾶλλον ἢ φιλόθεοι pleasure-lovers rather than God-lovers | misplaced ultimate love lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God | contrastive compound highlighting where ultimate devotion is wrongly placed | lebih mencintai kenikmatan daripada mencintai Allah | Low (NEW) |
| impostors / deceivers γόητες / goētes swindlers, imposters, charlatans | fraudulent religious con-men impostors, deceivers, swindlers | describes the false teachers of the last days — direct term for the Apostasy and False Teachers doctrine | penipu / penyesat | High (NEW) — “Penyesat” (one who leads astray) must be handled carefully, as it is a term with religious-polemical weight in Indonesian public discourse generally (used across religious communities to label rival teachers); ensure it is anchored to this text’s specific criteria (denial of the gospel’s power, opposition to sound doctrine) rather than left as a generic label transferable to any doctrinal disagreement. |
| deceiving and being deceived πλανῶντες καὶ πλανώμενοι / planōntes kai planōmenoi leading astray and being led astray | active deception and passive susceptibility to it deceiving and being deceived | false teachers are simultaneously deceivers and self-deceived — nuance for the Apostasy doctrine | menyesatkan dan disesatkan | Medium (NEW) |
| Jannes and Jambres, Moses Ἰάννης καὶ Ἰαμβρῆς / Μωϋσῆς proper names | Jewish tradition names for Pharaoh’s magicians who opposed Moses Jannes and Jambres, Moses | historical type for present false teachers opposing the truth | Yanes dan Yambres / Musa (baseline proper-name form — reused) | Low |
| disqualified regarding the faith ἀδόκιμοι περὶ τὴν πίστιν / adokimoi peri tēn pistin failing the test concerning the faith | tested and found wanting disqualified/rejected regarding the faith, corrupt in mind and counterfeit regarding the faith | false teachers fail the test that genuine iman requires passing | tidak tahan uji dalam hal iman | High (uses baseline iman) |
| persecutions and sufferings I endured / the Lord rescued me διωγμούς… παθήματα… ὑπήνεγκα… ἐρρύσατο / diōgmous… pathēmata… hypēnegka… errysato persecutions…sufferings…I bore up under…he rescued | Paul’s personal pattern of endured persecution and divine deliverance, offered as Timothy’s model persecutions, sufferings, I endured, the Lord rescued me | direct autobiographical grounding for Perseverance under Suffering: Paul’s own experience becomes Timothy’s expected pattern | penganiayaan dan penderitaan / aku menanggungnya / Tuhan melepaskan aku | High (NEW) — “Melepaskan/menyelamatkan” (rhyomai, rescue/deliver) is a related but distinct verb from keselamatan (sōzō, salvation, baseline Critical term); it denotes God’s specific, situational deliverances from persecution within this present life, not the once-for-all soteriological salvation. Keep these two Indonesian word-families distinguishable in context so learners do not confuse temporal rescue with eternal salvation. |
| all who desire to live godly will be persecuted πάντες οἱ θέλοντες εὐσεβῶς ζῆν… διωχθήσονται all wishing to live godly…will be persecuted | godliness invites hostility, not automatic social approval all who desire to live a godly life…will be persecuted | universalizes Paul’s pattern to all faithful believers — reinforces Perseverance under Suffering as a normal, not exceptional, Christian experience | semua orang yang rindu hidup dengan saleh (menurut kehendak Allah)…akan dianiaya | High (uses eusebeia root — see “godliness” entry above) |
| will go from bad to worse προκόψουσιν ἐπὶ τὸ χεῖρον / prokopsousin epi to cheiron will progress toward the worse | escalating moral/spiritual decline will go on from bad to worse | sober realism about the trajectory of unaddressed false teaching — feeds urgency into the Charge to Preach doctrine (4:1-2) | akan makin bertambah jahat | Low (NEW) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| poured out as a libation σπένδομαι / spendomai I am being poured out | sacrificial drink-offering imagery I am being poured out as a libation, I am ready to be offered | Paul describes his coming martyrdom in sacrificial terms — final application of Perseverance under Suffering | dicurahkan seperti persembahan curahan | Medium (NEW) |
| time of my departure ὁ καιρὸς τῆς ἐμῆς ἀναλύσεως / ho kairos tēs emēs analyseōs the season of my release/untying | nautical/military image of breaking camp or casting off a ship the time of my departure, the time for my release | euphemism for Paul’s approaching martyrdom, framed as departure/release rather than defeat | waktu kepergianku (kematianku) sudah dekat | Medium (NEW) |
| fought the good fight / finished the race / kept the faith τὸν καλὸν ἀγῶνα ἠγώνισμαι / τὸν δρόμον τετέλεκα / τὴν πίστιν τετήρηκα I have contested the good contest / I have completed the course / I have guarded the faith | athletic-contest metaphor cluster for a completed, faithful ministry I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith | Paul’s own testimony as the completed pattern of Faithful Transmission, Guarding Sound Doctrine, and Perseverance — summarized in a single triad just before the reward statement | aku telah mengakhiri pertandingan yang baik, aku telah mencapai garis akhir, aku telah memelihara iman | High (uses baseline iman) |
| crown of righteousness ὁ τῆς δικαιοσύνης στέφανος / ho tēs dikaiosynēs stephanos the crown belonging to righteousness | victor’s wreath, here specifically tied to righteous standing/character crown of righteousness | the promised reward for Paul’s finished race — the central term of the Assurance of Reward doctrine | mahkota kebenaran | Critical (NEW) — This phrase sits at the exact fault line between biblical assurance and the Islamic deeds-and-mercy judgment framework. The crown is not a wage calculated from an uncertain balance of good and bad deeds (the pahala/dosa ledger of Islamic eschatology) but the certain outcome, already “laid up” (ἀπόκειται, reserved/stored) for one who has run the grace-enabled race of faith to the end. Teaching material must explicitly connect this reward to grace already established in Romans (baseline: anugerah ≠ pahala) — the crown crowns a finished race run by grace, not a merit account settled at judgment. |
| the Lord will award ἀποδώσει ὁ κύριος / apodōsei ho kyrios the Lord will give back/repay | to render what is due, positively or negatively depending on context will award, will give | in this positive, reward context, rendered “dikaruniakan” (graciously given) in established Indonesian Bible usage rather than “membalas” (repay/recompense), preserving the grace-framing of this specific reward statement | akan dikaruniakan (Tuhan) | High (NEW) — The same Greek verb ἀποδίδωμι is used again at 4:14 in a negative, retributive-justice sense (“the Lord will repay him [Alexander] according to his deeds” — rendered “membalas” there). Phase 2 must apply different Indonesian verbs for the same Greek root depending on context (grace-reward vs. retributive justice) and flag both occurrences for theologian review to ensure neither is inadvertently harmonized into a single deeds-weighing formula. |
| the righteous judge ὁ δίκαιος κριτής / ho dikaios kritēs the righteous judge | one who judges rightly and fairly the righteous Judge | reuse baseline kebenaran root + judgment; ties directly to 4:1’s “who is to judge the living and the dead” | Hakim yang adil | Medium |
| love his appearing τοῖς ἠγαπηκόσι τὴν ἐπιφάνειαν αὐτοῦ / tois ēgapēkosi tēn epiphaneian autou to those who have loved his appearing | a settled affection for Christ’s future return who have loved his appearing, who long for his coming | those who receive the crown are marked by desire for Christ’s return, not fear of an uncertain judgment — reuse kedatangan-Nya (see 4:1 entry) | mengasihi kedatangan-Nya | Critical (uses epiphaneia — see 4:1 entry above) |
| Alexander…the Lord will repay him according to his deeds Ἀλέξανδρος… ἀποδώσει αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ Alexander…the Lord will repay him according to his works | retributive divine justice against a specific opponent the Lord will repay him according to his deeds | the negative counterpart to 4:8’s grace-framed crown — God’s justice is real and deeds matter for judgment against persistent, unrepentant opposition to the gospel, a different category from the believer’s grace-secured reward | Tuhan akan membalasnya menurut perbuatannya | High (NEW — see cross-reference risk note under “the Lord will award” above) |
| proclamation κήρυγμα / kērygma the thing proclaimed, the message preached | the content of apostolic preaching proclamation, message, preaching | Paul’s hope that through him “the message might be fully proclaimed” to the Gentiles — reuse baseline bangsa-bangsa lain and the kēryssō word-family from 4:2 | pemberitaan (Injil) | High (NEW, related to Charge to Preach doctrine) |
| rescued from the lion’s mouth / will rescue me…and save me into his heavenly kingdom ἐρρύσθην ἐκ στόματος λέοντος / ῥύσεταί με… καὶ σώσει εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ τὴν ἐπουράνιον I was rescued from the lion’s mouth / he will rescue me…and save me into his heavenly kingdom | present deliverance and future final salvation, held together rescued from the lion’s mouth; will rescue me and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom | closing assurance statement combining rhyomai (situational rescue, cf. 3:11) with sōzō/keselamatan (final salvation) and basileia (kingdom) — a capstone for both Perseverance and Assurance of Reward doctrines | dilepaskan dari mulut singa / akan melepaskan aku…dan menyelamatkan aku ke dalam Kerajaan Surgawi-Nya | Critical (combines keselamatan baseline term with epouranios basileia) |
| heavenly ἐπουράνιος / epouranios heavenly, belonging to heaven | pertaining to the heavenly realm heavenly | qualifies the kingdom into which Paul will be finally brought — reuse baseline Kerajaan Allah pattern | surgawi | Medium (NEW) |
| to him be glory forever and ever ᾧ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων / hō hē doxa eis tous aiōnas tōn aiōnōn to whom be the glory unto the ages of the ages | a doxological formula to whom be glory forever and ever | closing doxology, reuse baseline kemuliaan | kepada-Nya kemuliaan selama-lamanya | Medium (per baseline glory pattern) |
