B. New Terms Introduced by Philippians (require new translation_memory.json / bible_term_registry.json entries)
| Term (EN) | Original (Greek) | Transliteration | Indonesian Rendering | Risk | Doctrine Tag | Chapters | Rationale / Collision Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kenosis (self-emptying) | ἐκένωσεν | ekenōsen | mengosongkan diri-Nya sendiri | Critical | KEN | 2 | No baseline equivalent. Direct collision with Islamic tanzih (divine transcendence/immutability); must always be taught alongside “Firman yang menjadi manusia” clarifying Christ did not cease to be God. |
| Form of God | μορφὴ θεοῦ | morphē theou | rupa Allah | Critical | KEN | 2 | Asserts Christ’s pre-incarnate essential deity; collides directly with tawhid/anti-shirk doctrine. |
| Grasped/exploited (self-emptying’s negative) | ἁρπαγμός | harpagmos | sesuatu yang harus dipertahankan untuk keuntungan-Nya sendiri | Critical | KEN | 2 | Rendering choice determines whether text affirms pre-existent deity voluntarily not exploited (orthodox) vs. implies Christ was not originally divine (heterodox); theologian review required every occurrence. |
| Equality with God | ἴσα θεῷ | isa theō | setara/sederajat dengan Allah | Critical | KEN | 2 | The most direct “equal with God” statement about Jesus in the NT; cannot be softened. |
| Form of a servant/slave | μορφὴ δούλου | morphē doulou | rupa seorang hamba | Critical | KEN | 2 | Collides with the Qur’anic Christological title ‘abd Allah (“servant of Allah”), used specifically to deny Christ’s deity — the exact opposite of Paul’s point. Requires the strongest available teaching note. |
| Death of the cross | θάνατος σταυροῦ | thanatos staurou | kematian di kayu salib | Critical | KEN | 2 | Direct contradiction of Qur’an 4:157’s denial of the crucifixion; specificity must never be softened to a generic “he died” or “he suffered.” |
| Likeness of men / found as a man | ὁμοίωμα ἀνθρώπων / σχήματι … ὡς ἄνθρωπος | homoiōma anthrōpōn / schēmati … hōs anthrōpos | rupa manusia / kelihatan sebagai manusia | High | KEN | 2 | Must affirm genuine, not merely apparent, humanity (anti-docetism), held together with, not instead of, the deity claims of the same passage. |
| Name above every name | τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ὑπὲρ πᾶν ὄνομα | to onoma to hyper pan onoma | nama di atas segala nama | High | KEN | 2 | Understood as Kyrios; ties directly to the Critical “Lord” (Tuhan) confession in v.11. |
| Every knee bow / every tongue confess | πᾶν γόνυ κάμψῃ / πᾶσα γλῶσσα ἐξομολογήσηται | pan gony kampsē / pasa glōssa exomologēsētai | segala lutut bertekuk lutut / segala lidah mengaku | High | KEN | 2 | Isaiah 45:23 (originally of YHWH) applied to Jesus; worship-level submission, not mere respect. |
| Mindset / settled attitude | φρονέω | phroneō | sehati sepikir / menaruh pikiran dan perasaan yang sama | Medium | UNI | 2 | Controlling verb linking church ethics (2:2) to Christ’s example (2:5); must be rendered consistently across both uses. |
| Humility | ταπεινοφροσύνη | tapeinophrosynē | kerendahan hati | Medium | UNI, KEN | 2 | Must be anchored to the specific pattern of Christ’s incarnational self-humbling, not left as a free-standing general virtue overlapping with Islamic tawadhu’. |
| Selfish ambition / empty conceit | ἐριθεία / κενοδοξία | eritheia / kenodoxia | ambisi pribadi / kesombongan yang kosong | Low | UNI | 2 | Standard ethical vocabulary; low collision risk. |
| Fellowship of the Spirit | κοινωνία πνεύματος | koinōnia pneumatos | persekutuan Roh | High | UNI | 2 | Touches the Critical Holy Spirit doctrine; must not be flattened to generic “spirit of togetherness.” |
| Partnership in the gospel | κοινωνία εἰς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον | koinōnia eis to euangelion | kemitraan/persekutuan dalam pemberitaan Injil | Medium | PAR | 1, 4 | Retains the active, often material, participatory sense (cf. 4:15); avoid “misi.” |
| Partnership in giving and receiving | κοινωνία δόσεως καὶ λήψεως | koinōnia doseōs kai lēpseōs | hal memberi dan menerima | Medium | PAR | 4 | Must be distinguished in teaching notes from Islamic almsgiving categories (zakat, sedekah); a voluntary relational gospel partnership, not an obligatory religious duty. |
| Fragrant offering / acceptable sacrifice | ὀσμὴ εὐωδίας / θυσία δεκτή | osmē euōdias / thysia dektē | persembahan yang harum / kurban yang berkenan kepada Allah | High | PAR | 4 | ”Kurban” strongly evokes Islamic ritual sacrifice (Idul Adha); must be taught as sacrificial-worship metaphor for material generosity, not a parallel ritual obligation. |
| To live is Christ, to die is gain | τὸ ζῆν Χριστός, τὸ ἀποθανεῖν κέρδος | to zēn Christos, to apothanein kerdos | hidup adalah Kristus dan mati adalah keuntungan | High | JOY, CIT | 1 | Risk of resonance with meritorious-martyrdom (syahid) associations; must be taught as the surpassing worth of union with Christ, not merit in dying itself or warrant for seeking death. |
| Suffering granted as grace | ἐχαρίσθη … πάσχειν | echaristhē … paschein | dikaruniakan … untuk menderita | High | JOY | 1 | Suffering framed within the grace (unearned gift), not merit (pahala), framework. |
| Work out your own salvation | κατεργάζεσθε τὴν ἑαυτῶν σωτηρίαν | katergazesthe tēn heautōn sōtērian | kerjakanlah keselamatanmu | Critical | KEN/RBF | 2 | Highest risk of misreading as works-based salvation; must always be taught with 2:13’s monergistic grounding. |
| Messenger (non-technical ἀπόστολος) | ἀπόστολος (of Epaphroditus) | apostolos | utusanmu | High | PAR | 2 | Must use “utusan,” never “rasul,” to keep the technical Apostleship office term (Critical, baseline) uncontaminated by this generic usage. |
| Circumcision | περιτομή | peritomē | sunat | High | RBF | 3 | Also a significant Indonesian Islamic practice/identity marker (khitan); teach Paul’s specific argument about his own former Jewish credentials without drawing an explicit contemporary religious equivalence. |
| Righteousness from law vs. through faith | δικαιοσύνη ἐκ νόμου / διὰ πίστεως Χριστοῦ | dikaiosynē ek nomou / dia pisteōs Christou | kebenaran dari Hukum Taurat / melalui iman dalam Kristus | Critical | RBF | 3 | Restates the letter’s core doctrine with the exact force of the parallel Romans passages; no deeds-and-faith blending permitted. |
| Perfect / mature | τέλειος / τετελείωμαι | teleios / teteleiōmai | sempurna / dewasa (rohani) | High | PRS | 3 | Risk of resonance with the Sufi “insan kamil” (perfect man) concept; must be taught as ongoing pursuit of maturity, not present mystical attainment. |
| Press on / pursue | διώκω | diōkō | mengejar | Medium | PRS | 3 | Controlling verb of the letter’s pressing-toward-the-goal doctrine. |
| Citizenship / conduct as citizens | πολίτευμα / πολιτεύομαι | politeuma / politeuomai | kewargaan / hidup sebagai warga | High | CIT | 1, 3 | Intersects national-identity and religious-community (umat) discourse in Indonesia; must be taught as a transcendent identity reframing, not abolishing, earthly civic belonging. |
| Savior | σωτήρ | sōtēr | Juruselamat | Critical | CIT | 3 | Shares the Critical salvation-framework distinction of “keselamatan.” |
| Body of glory | σῶμα τῆς δόξης | sōma tēs doxēs | tubuh kemuliaan | Medium | CIT/PRS | 3 | Future resurrection-body hope, modeled on Christ’s own glorified body. |
| Contentment / self-sufficiency | αὐτάρκεια | autarkeia | merasa cukup dalam segala keadaan | High | CON | 4 | Risk of conflation with Islamic qana’ah, sabar, ikhlas, or fatalistic tawakal/takdir; must be grounded relationally in Christ’s active strengthening (4:13), not impersonal resignation. |
| Learned the secret (mystery-cult term) | μεμύημαι | memyēmai | telah belajar rahasianya | Low-Medium | CON | 4 | Background note: repurposed Greco-Roman mystery-initiation term; low direct collision risk but worth flagging for teaching accuracy. |
| Rejoice in the Lord | χαίρετε ἐν Κυρίῳ | chairete en Kyriō | bersukacitalah dalam Tuhan | Medium | JOY | 4 | Capstone joy command, grounded in union with Christ, not circumstance. |
| Peace of God | εἰρήνη τοῦ θεοῦ | eirēnē tou theou | damai sejahtera Allah | Medium | CON | 4 | Extension of baseline “peace” (damai sejahtera); God’s own peace guarding believers, not self-achieved calm. |
| Overseers and deacons | ἐπίσκοπος / διάκονος | episkopos / diakonos | penilik jemaat / diaken | Medium / Low | UNI | 1 | Church-polity terms; denominational-tradition sensitivity, not Islamic-collision risk. |
C. Cross-Document Consistency Flags
The following renderings must remain identical to their Romans-curriculum counterparts wherever they recur in Philippians materials, per the baseline’s Theological Consistency Rules:
- “Yesus adalah Tuhan” / “Yesus Kristus adalah Tuhan” — Philippians 2:11 must mirror the Romans 10:9 confession exactly.
- Anugerah, iman, kebenaran, keselamatan, Roh Kudus, Bapa, Anak Allah, Firman yang menjadi manusia, kebangkitan, Hukum Taurat — all reused verbatim, no re-derivation permitted.
- Rasul — reserved strictly for the technical Apostleship office; Philippians 2:25’s generic use of ἀπόστολος for Epaphroditus must render as utusan, never rasul.

Critical Risk Terms
Righteousness
Approved rendering: kebenaran
Transliteration: kebenaran
Doctrine: Righteousness by Faith versus the Law
Original: δικαιοσύνη
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Central to Philippians 3’s autobiographical argument (3:6, 3:9) and to 1:11’s ‘fruit of righteousness.’ Kebenaran also means ordinary ‘truth’ in Indonesian; context must make clear a relational/legal standing is meant.
Salvation
Approved rendering: keselamatan
Transliteration: keselamatan
Doctrine: Salvation / Working Out Salvation under God’s Prior Working
Original: σωτηρία
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Philippians 2:12’s ‘work out your own salvation’ is the single highest-risk occurrence of this term in the book and must never be taught detached from 2:13’s monergistic ground (‘Allah yang mengerjakan di dalam kamu’). Also occurs at 1:19.
Lord
Approved rendering: Tuhan
Transliteration: Tuhan
Doctrine: Exaltation and Universal Lordship of Christ
Original: κύριος
Category: Christology
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Philippians 2:11’s climactic confession, plus 2:19, 2:24, 2:29, 3:1, 3:8, 3:20, 4:1, 4:4, 4:5, 4:10, 4:23, must exactly mirror the Romans 10:9 confession per the baseline’s cross-document consistency rule.
Son Of God
Approved rendering: Anak Allah
Transliteration: Anak Allah
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Original: υἱὸς θεοῦ (conceptual ground of μορφῇ θεοῦ ὑπάρχων, Php 2:6)
Category: Christology
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Philippians 2:6’s ‘being in the form of God’ presupposes this same doctrine even though the title itself is not used verbatim; teaching materials must draw the connection explicitly.
Incarnation
Approved rendering: Firman yang menjadi manusia
Transliteration: Firman yang menjadi manusia
Doctrine: The Incarnation and Self-Emptying of Christ (Kenosis)
Rejected alternatives: inkarnasi
Original: ὁ λόγος σὰρξ ἐγένετο (cf. Php 2:7’s ἐν ὁμοιώματι ἀνθρώπων γενόμενος)
Category: Christology
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Directly relevant to Philippians 2:7’s ‘coming to be in the likeness of men’; must always be taught paired with the new Critical term ‘kenosis’ (mengosongkan diri-Nya sendiri).
Holy Spirit
Approved rendering: Roh Kudus
Transliteration: Roh Kudus
Doctrine: Unity and Humility in the Church
Original: πνεῦμα ἅγιον
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Named at 1:19; underlies 2:1’s ‘fellowship of the Spirit’ and 3:3’s Spirit-worship. Must not be rendered with a term for an impersonal spirit; never conflated with the Islamic Ruh al-Qudus (the angel Gabriel).
Father
Approved rendering: Bapa
Transliteration: Bapa
Doctrine: Deity of Christ / Exaltation and Universal Lordship of Christ
Original: πατήρ
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Addressed at 1:2, named as the terminus of Christ’s glory at 2:11, praised at 4:20. Always relational/adoptive language, never a claim about physical parentage.
Jesus
Approved rendering: Yesus
Transliteration: Yesus
Doctrine: Crucifixion of Christ
Rejected alternatives: Nabi Isa
Original: Ἰησοῦς
Category: Christology
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Never Nabi Isa, the Islamic framing that denies the crucifixion asserted explicitly at Philippians 2:8.
Apostle
Approved rendering: rasul
Transliteration: rasul
Doctrine: Apostleship
Original: ἀπόστολος
Category: Church
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged and RESTRICTED. Never appears in this technical office sense in Philippians itself; must never be used for Epaphroditus’s ἀπόστολος at 2:25 (see ‘messenger_non_technical’ below).
Imputed Righteousness
Approved rendering: kebenaran yang diperhitungkan
Transliteration: kebenaran yang diperhitungkan
Doctrine: Righteousness by Faith versus the Law
Rejected alternatives: pahala yang dikumpulkan
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Names the same doctrine restated in Philippians 3:9’s righteousness ‘through faith in Christ’; pahala yang dikumpulkan remains rejected as the opposite deeds-based direction.
Kenosis
Approved rendering: mengosongkan diri-Nya sendiri
Transliteration: mengosongkan diri-Nya sendiri
Doctrine: The Incarnation and Self-Emptying of Christ (Kenosis)
Rejected alternatives: kenosis (bare loanword), kekosongan
Original: ἑαυτὸν ἐκένωσεν
Category: Christology
NEW — Philippians 2:7. No prior curriculum precedent. Direct collision with Islamic tanzih theology, which holds divine self-limitation inconceivable. Must always be taught paired with ‘Firman yang menjadi manusia,’ clarifying Christ did not cease to be God. Never render with ‘kekosongan’ (risk of conflation with Buddhist shunyata/emptiness). Requires theologian-reviewed teaching note at every occurrence.
Form Of God
Approved rendering: rupa Allah
Transliteration: rupa Allah
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: sifat ketuhanan, gambaran Allah
Original: ἐν μορφῇ θεοῦ ὑπάρχων
Category: Christology
NEW — Philippians 2:6. Direct affirmation of Christ’s pre-incarnate essential deity; collides head-on with tawhid and the Qur’anic prohibition of shirk (Surah An-Nisa 4:171; Al-Ikhlas). No softening (‘a godlike person’) permitted.
Harpagmos Not Exploited
Approved rendering: sesuatu yang harus dipertahankan untuk keuntungan-Nya sendiri
Transliteration: sesuatu yang harus dipertahankan untuk keuntungan-Nya sendiri
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: sesuatu yang harus direbut, sesuatu yang ingin dicapai
Original: ἁρπαγμός
Category: Christology
NEW — Philippians 2:6. The rendering choice is doctrinally load-bearing: must convey ‘already possessed, chosen not to exploit,’ never ‘something he tried to seize/attain,’ which would imply adoptionism (Christ not originally divine). Theologian review required at every occurrence.
Equality With God
Approved rendering: setara/sederajat dengan Allah
Transliteration: setara dengan Allah
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: seperti Allah, wakil Allah
Original: ἴσα θεῷ
Category: Christology
NEW — Philippians 2:6. The single most direct ‘equal with God’ statement about Jesus in the New Testament — the exact claim the Qur’an is written to deny. No softening to ‘godlike’ or ‘God’s representative’ permitted.
Form Of A Servant
Approved rendering: rupa seorang hamba
Transliteration: rupa seorang hamba
Doctrine: Humanity of Christ
Original: μορφὴν δούλου λαβών
Category: Christology
NEW — Philippians 2:7. Collides with the Qur’anic Christological title ‘abd Allah (‘servant/slave of Allah’), used in Islam specifically to deny Christ’s deity and sonship — the exact opposite of Paul’s point that the divine Son voluntarily assumed a status not his by nature. Requires the strongest available teaching note, paired always with ‘rupa Allah’ (v.6).
Death On A Cross
Approved rendering: kematian di kayu salib
Transliteration: kematian di kayu salib
Doctrine: The Crucifixion of Christ
Rejected alternatives: wafat, berpulang, meninggal (unqualified)
Original: θανάτου δὲ σταυροῦ
Category: Christology
NEW — Philippians 2:8. Surah An-Nisa 4:157 explicitly denies Jesus was crucified. This clause is an irreducible historical claim contradicting that denial and must never be softened to a euphemistic death-verb; the specificity of crucifixion is itself the theological point.
Jesus Christ Is Lord
Approved rendering: Yesus Kristus adalah Tuhan
Transliteration: Yesus Kristus adalah Tuhan
Doctrine: Exaltation and Universal Lordship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: Yesus Kristus adalah tuan (lowercase, generic)
Original: ὅτι Κύριος Ἰησοῦς Χριστός
Category: Christology
NEW compound of the reused ‘lord’ and ‘jesus’ entries. Philippians 2:11’s climactic confession must be rendered identically in force to Romans 10:9’s ‘Yesus adalah Tuhan,’ extended with Kristus, without qualification. Must never echo the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ New World Translation pattern of substituting ‘Yehuwa’ for Tuhan.
Work Out Your Salvation
Approved rendering: kerjakanlah keselamatanmu
Transliteration: kerjakanlah keselamatanmu
Doctrine: Working Out Salvation under God’s Prior Working
Rejected alternatives: tunjukkanlah bahwa kamu benar-benar diselamatkan (BIS-style shift)
Original: τὴν ἑαυτῶν σωτηρίαν κατεργάζεσθε
Category: Salvation
NEW — Philippians 2:12. The single highest-risk phrase in the letter for a deeds-and-mercy misreading; must never be taught detached from 2:13’s monergistic ground. Requires theologian review at every occurrence.
Righteousness By Faith Versus Law
Approved rendering: kebenaran … dari Hukum Taurat … melalui iman dalam Kristus
Transliteration: kebenaran dari Hukum Taurat, melalui iman dalam Kristus
Doctrine: Righteousness by Faith versus the Law
Original: δικαιοσύνη … ἐκ νόμου … διὰ πίστεως Χριστοῦ
Category: Salvation
NEW — Philippians 3:9. Restates the Romans doctrine with identical force using the identical baseline terms (kebenaran, Hukum Taurat, iman); no deeds-and-faith blending permitted.
Savior
Approved rendering: Juruselamat
Transliteration: Juruselamat
Doctrine: Citizenship in Heaven
Original: σωτήρ
Category: Salvation
NEW — Philippians 3:20. Established Indonesian Bible term; carries the same Critical salvation-framework distinction as keselamatan itself.
High Risk Terms
Gospel
Approved rendering: Injil
Transliteration: injil
Doctrine: Gospel / Partnership in the Gospel
Rejected alternatives: kabar baik
Original: εὐαγγέλιον
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. In Philippians occurs at 1:5, 1:7, 1:12, 1:27, 4:3, 4:15 and must be anchored specifically to the crucified-and-risen Christ of the 2:6-11 hymn, not left as a generic label for ‘a scripture given to Isa.‘
Grace
Approved rendering: anugerah
Transliteration: anugerah
Doctrine: Grace / Suffering Framed as a Grace-Gift
Rejected alternatives: rahmat, pahala
Original: χάρις
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Philippians 1:29 extends this term to suffering itself (‘it has been granted to you to suffer’), which must preserve the unearned-gift sense against an Islamic deeds-and-merit (pahala) framework.
Faith
Approved rendering: iman
Transliteration: iman
Doctrine: Faith / Righteousness by Faith versus the Law
Original: πίστις
Category: Faith
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Philippians 3:9’s ‘righteousness through faith in Christ’ requires the object of iman to remain recoverable as Christ specifically, not generic six-pillars-style religious assent (rukun iman).
Resurrection
Approved rendering: kebangkitan
Transliteration: kebangkitan
Doctrine: Resurrection Hope and the Glorified Body
Original: ἀνάστασις
Category: Eschatology
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Philippians 3:10 (Christ’s specific historical resurrection) and 3:11, 3:21 (believers’ future resurrection modeled on his glorified body) both apply; never a term for reincarnation or an ongoing cycle.
God
Approved rendering: Allah
Transliteration: Allah
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Original: θεός
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. The term itself carries the baseline’s established risk profile; Philippians’ new collision risk lies in surrounding vocabulary (hamba/‘abd, kurban, rasul), not in Allah itself.
Calling
Approved rendering: panggilan
Transliteration: panggilan
Doctrine: Pressing on toward the Goal in Christ
Rejected alternatives: takdir
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Philippians 3:14 introduces ‘the upward call (τῆς ἄνω κλήσεως) of God in Christ Jesus’ — see new compound entry ‘upward_call’ below, built on this base term. Never takdir (impersonal fate).
Adoption
Approved rendering: pengangkatan sebagai anak
Transliteration: pengangkatan sebagai anak
Doctrine: Adoption into God’s Family
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. The conceptual ground for Philippians 2:15’s ‘children of God’ (see new entry ‘children_of_god’), which uses tekna theou rather than the technical huiothesia term itself.
Likeness Of Men
Approved rendering: rupa manusia / menjadi sama seperti manusia
Transliteration: rupa manusia
Doctrine: Humanity of Christ
Original: ἐν ὁμοιώματι ἀνθρώπων γενόμενος
Category: Christology
NEW — Philippians 2:7. Must affirm real, not merely apparent, human nature (anti-docetism), held together with, not against, the deity affirmed in the same passage.
Found In Human Form
Approved rendering: kelihatan sebagai manusia
Transliteration: kelihatan sebagai manusia
Doctrine: Humanity of Christ
Original: σχήματι εὑρεθεὶς ὡς ἄνθρωπος
Category: Christology
NEW — Philippians 2:8. Completes the affirmation of real, lived humanity begun with morphē/homoiōma; must not collapse into mere outward appearance without substance.
Humbled Himself
Approved rendering: Ia merendahkan diri-Nya sendiri
Transliteration: Ia merendahkan diri-Nya sendiri
Doctrine: Humility Modeled on Christ’s Self-Humbling
Original: ἐταπείνωσεν ἑαυτόν
Category: Christology
NEW — Philippians 2:8. Mirrors ταπεινοφροσύνη (2:3); ties the Kenosis doctrine directly to the church’s Unity/Humility doctrine and must be taught as the pattern the church’s humility imitates.
God Highly Exalted
Approved rendering: Allah meninggikan Dia sampai ke tempat yang maha tinggi
Transliteration: Allah meninggikan Dia sampai ke tempat yang maha tinggi
Doctrine: Exaltation and Universal Lordship of Christ
Original: ὁ θεὸς ὑπερύψωσεν
Category: Christology
NEW — Philippians 2:9. Must be taught as vindication of the Son who was already divine, not promotion of a previously non-divine figure.
Name Above Every Name
Approved rendering: nama di atas segala nama
Transliteration: nama di atas segala nama
Doctrine: Exaltation and Universal Lordship of Christ
Original: τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ὑπὲρ πᾶν ὄνομα
Category: Christology
NEW — Philippians 2:9. Understood as Kyrios (‘Lord’), confirmed by 2:11; must be read as the Father graciously granting the title that discloses, not diminishes, the Son’s deity.
Every Knee Shall Bow
Approved rendering: segala yang ada di sorga, di bumi, dan di bawah bumi bertekuk lutut
Transliteration: segala yang ada di sorga, di bumi, dan di bawah bumi bertekuk lutut
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Original: πᾶν γόνυ κάμψῃ
Category: Christology
NEW — Philippians 2:10. Echoes Isaiah 45:23 LXX, originally of YHWH alone; the transfer of worship-worthy status to Jesus must not be diluted into generic respect or acknowledgment.
Glory Of God The Father
Approved rendering: bagi kemuliaan Allah, Bapa
Transliteration: bagi kemuliaan Allah, Bapa
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Original: εἰς δόξαν θεοῦ πατρός
Category: Christology
NEW compound of the reused ‘glory’ and ‘father’ entries. Philippians 2:11; must be taught as intra-Trinitarian glory-sharing, never as evidence of a subordinate, lesser deity compatible with a strictly unitarian framework.
Mindset Of Christ
Approved rendering: sehati sepikir / menaruh pikiran dan perasaan yang sama seperti Kristus Yesus
Transliteration: sehati sepikir
Doctrine: Unity and Humility in the Church
Original: φρονέω / τοῦτο φρονεῖτε … ὃ καὶ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ
Category: Church
NEW — Philippians 2:2, 2:5. The controlling structural link between the church’s ethics and Christology; must be rendered consistently at both occurrences so the hymn functions as grounding, not mere illustration.
Fellowship Of The Spirit
Approved rendering: persekutuan Roh
Transliteration: persekutuan Roh
Doctrine: Unity and Humility in the Church
Original: κοινωνία πνεύματος
Category: Church
NEW — Philippians 2:1. Touches the Critical ‘holy_spirit’ entry; must not be read as generic ‘spirit of togetherness’ but the personal Holy Spirit, distinguished from the Islamic Ruh al-Qudus (the angel Gabriel).
Bondservant Of Christ
Approved rendering: hamba-hamba Kristus Yesus
Transliteration: hamba-hamba Kristus Yesus
Doctrine: Unity and Humility in the Church
Original: δοῦλος (Παῦλος καὶ Τιμόθεος δοῦλοι Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ)
Category: Church
NEW — Philippians 1:1. Paul and Timothy’s self-designation as slaves of Christ. Must be explicitly distinguished from the identical word applied to Christ himself at 2:7: here it is correct creaturely submission; there it is the paradox of the divine Son voluntarily assuming servant status he did not have by nature.
Messenger Non Technical
Approved rendering: utusanmu
Transliteration: utusan
Doctrine: Partnership in the Gospel
Rejected alternatives: rasul
Original: ἀπόστολος ὑμῶν (of Epaphroditus, 2:25)
Category: Church
NEW — Philippians 2:25. Epaphroditus’s ordinary, non-technical apostolos. Using ‘rasul’ here would incorrectly imply the closed-prophetic-line office reserved by Islamic doctrine for Muhammad; ‘utusan’ must always be used instead.
Fragrant Offering
Approved rendering: persembahan yang harum, kurban yang berkenan kepada Allah
Transliteration: kurban yang berkenan kepada Allah
Doctrine: Sacrificial Giving as an Act of Worship
Original: ὀσμὴ εὐωδίας, θυσία δεκτή
Category: Church
NEW — Philippians 4:18. ‘Kurban’ strongly evokes Islamic ritual sacrifice (Idul Adha). Must always carry a teaching note that this is sacrificial-worship metaphor for material generosity, fulfilled once for all in Christ’s own sacrifice, not an ongoing ritual obligation.
Poured Out As Offering
Approved rendering: dicurahkan seperti darah persembahan
Transliteration: dicurahkan seperti darah persembahan
Doctrine: Sacrificial Giving as an Act of Worship
Original: σπένδομαι
Category: Church
NEW — Philippians 2:17. Paul’s depiction of possible martyrdom as a sacrificial libation; must be kept metaphorical, rooted in Christ’s finished sacrifice, never suggesting ongoing meritorious ritual sacrifice paralleling qurban.
Children Of God
Approved rendering: anak-anak Allah
Transliteration: anak-anak Allah
Doctrine: Adoption into God’s Family
Original: τέκνα θεοῦ
Category: Salvation
NEW — Philippians 2:15. Conceptually grounded in the baseline’s ‘adoption’ doctrine; must be taught as relational/adoptive status, not physical parentage.
Circumcision
Approved rendering: sunat
Transliteration: sunat
Doctrine: Confidence in the Flesh (Religious Credentials) Rejected
Original: περιτομή
Category: Covenant
NEW — Philippians 3:5. A significant identity-and-piety marker (khitan) in Indonesian Islam. Must be historicized to Paul’s own former Jewish credentials only, without drawing an explicit contemporary equivalence to Islamic practice.
To Live Is Christ To Die Is Gain
Approved rendering: hidup adalah Kristus dan mati adalah keuntungan
Transliteration: hidup adalah Kristus dan mati adalah keuntungan
Doctrine: Joy in Suffering and Imprisonment
Original: τὸ ζῆν Χριστὸς καὶ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν κέρδος
Category: Suffering and Joy
NEW — Philippians 1:21. Risks resonance with syahid (martyrdom merit); must show the point is the surpassing worth of union with Christ, not merit in dying, and gives no warrant for seeking death or violence.
Suffering Granted As Grace

Transliteration: dikaruniakan untuk menderita
Doctrine: Suffering Framed as a Grace-Gift
Original: πάσχειν … ἐχαρίσθη
Category: Suffering and Joy
NEW — Philippians 1:29. Suffering shares the anugerah (unearned-gift) root, not a pahala (merit-earning) framework.
Citizenship In Heaven
Approved rendering: kewargaan (kita adalah warga sorga)
Transliteration: kewargaan di sorga
Doctrine: Citizenship in Heaven
Rejected alternatives: warga negara sorga
Original: πολίτευμα / πολιτεύομαι
Category: Citizenship
NEW — Philippians 1:27, 3:20. Intersects national-identity discourse and religious-community (umat) belonging in Indonesia. Must be taught as reframing, not abolishing, earthly civic and family obligations. Avoid ‘warga negara’ (state-citizen) framing, which sharpens nationalist-identity association unnecessarily.
Contentment Self Sufficiency
Approved rendering: merasa cukup dalam segala keadaan
Transliteration: merasa cukup dalam segala keadaan
Doctrine: Contentment in All Circumstances
Rejected alternatives: autarki, qana’ah, tawakal
Original: αὐτάρκης / αὐτάρκεια
Category: Contentment
NEW — Philippians 4:11. ‘Autarki’ rejected as a false-friend (Indonesian economic self-sufficiency term). Must be anchored relationally in Christ’s active strengthening (4:13), never absorbed into fatalistic-submission (tawakal/takdir) framing.
Perfect Mature
Approved rendering: sempurna (dengan catatan: bukan kesempurnaan yang telah tercapai, melainkan kedewasaan yang terus dikejar)
Transliteration: sempurna / dewasa (rohani)
Doctrine: Spiritual Maturity Denied Present Perfection
Rejected alternatives: insan kamil
Original: τετελείωμαι / τέλειος
Category: Perseverance
NEW — Philippians 3:12, 3:15. Risks resonance with the Sufi al-insan al-kamil mystical-attainment concept. Must always be taught as Paul’s explicit denial of present sinless perfection paired with ongoing pursued maturity.
Power Of His Resurrection
Approved rendering: kuasa kebangkitan-Nya
Transliteration: kuasa kebangkitan-Nya
Doctrine: Resurrection Hope and the Glorified Body
Original: δύναμις τῆς ἀναστάσεως αὐτοῦ
Category: Christology
NEW — Philippians 3:10. Must be anchored to Christ’s specific, historical resurrection (kebangkitan, Critical baseline entry), not a generic supernatural-power concept.
Medium Risk Terms
Law
Approved rendering: Hukum Taurat
Transliteration: Hukum Taurat
Doctrine: Righteousness by Faith versus the Law
Rejected alternatives: syariat
Original: νόμος
Category: Covenant
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Never syariat. Philippians 3:6, 3:9 restates the Romans righteousness-by-faith-versus-law contrast with identical force.
Glory
Approved rendering: kemuliaan
Transliteration: kemuliaan
Doctrine: Exaltation and Universal Lordship of Christ
Original: δόξα
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Philippians 2:11 (‘glory of God the Father’) must be taught as intra-Trinitarian glory-sharing, not evidence of a subordinate deity; 3:21 applies it to the future resurrected body.

Original: Ἰσραήλ
Category: Covenant

Category: God

Mission
Approved rendering: pekabaran Injil
Transliteration: pekabaran Injil
Doctrine: Partnership in the Gospel
Rejected alternatives: misi
Original: ἀποστολή / πέμπω (cf. Php 1:5’s κοινωνία εἰς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον)
Category: Church
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Feeds the Philippians-specific compound ‘kemitraan/persekutuan dalam pemberitaan Injil’; never ‘misi’ due to colonial-era Dutch missionary-society connotation.
Called
Approved rendering: yang dipanggil
Transliteration: yang dipanggil
Doctrine: Divine Calling
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Context-sensitive; no direct Philippians occurrence of this exact adjectival form, retained for cross-curriculum consistency.
Saints
Approved rendering: orang-orang kudus
Transliteration: orang-orang kudus
Doctrine: Sainthood / Unity and Humility in the Church
Rejected alternatives: wali
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Addresses the whole Philippian congregation at 1:1 and closes the letter at 4:21-22; every believer, never a venerated elite comparable to wali.
Holy
Approved rendering: kudus
Transliteration: kudus
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: suci
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Root of ‘orang-orang kudus’ at 1:1, 4:21-22.
Peace
Approved rendering: damai sejahtera
Transliteration: damai sejahtera
Doctrine: Peace with God
Inherited from Romans package, rendering unchanged. Philippians 1:2’s salutation (‘grace to you and peace’); distinct from but the base term for the new compound ‘peace_of_god’ at 4:7.
Obedient Unto Death
Approved rendering: taat sampai mati
Transliteration: taat sampai mati
Doctrine: The Crucifixion of Christ
Original: ὑπήκοος μέχρι θανάτου
Category: Christology
NEW — Philippians 2:8. Standard vocabulary; risk is moderate because it sets up the higher-risk specification of crucifixion that follows immediately.
Every Tongue Confess
Approved rendering: segala lidah mengaku
Transliteration: segala lidah mengaku
Doctrine: Exaltation and Universal Lordship of Christ
Original: πᾶσα γλῶσσα ἐξομολογήσηται
Category: Christology
NEW — Philippians 2:11. Sets up the climactic Critical confession that follows immediately; must not be flattened into private assent.
Humility
Approved rendering: kerendahan hati
Transliteration: kerendahan hati
Doctrine: Humility Modeled on Christ’s Self-Humbling
Original: ταπεινοφροσύνη
Category: Church
NEW — Philippians 2:3, 2:8. The virtue overlaps with the Muslim virtue tawadhu’; risk is theological grounding, not the term itself — must be anchored specifically to Christ’s incarnational self-humbling pattern, not left free-standing.
Overseer
Approved rendering: penilik jemaat
Transliteration: penilik jemaat
Doctrine: Unity and Humility in the Church
Rejected alternatives: uskup
Original: ἐπίσκοπος
Category: Church
NEW — Philippians 1:1. Church-polity term; denominational-tradition sensitivity, not an Islamic-collision risk. Flag for native-speaker/denominational review.

Transliteration: hal memberi dan menerima
Doctrine: Material Partnership in Giving and Receiving
Rejected alternatives: zakat, sedekah
Original: κοινωνία δόσεως καὶ λήψεως
Category: Church

Service Ministry
Approved rendering: pelayanan
Transliteration: pelayanan
Doctrine: Sacrificial Giving as an Act of Worship
Rejected alternatives: ibadah (narrow ritual sense)
Original: λειτουργία
Category: Church
NEW — Philippians 2:17, 2:30. Used of both the Philippians’ faith and Epaphroditus’s ministry; must not imply ritual religious obligation.

Approved rendering: firman kehidupan
Transliteration: firman kehidupan
Doctrine: Partnership in the Gospel

Doctrine: Confidence in the Flesh (Religious Credentials) Rejected
Original: γνῶσις Χριστοῦ / τοῦ γνῶναι αὐτόν

Transliteration: belenggu
Doctrine: Imprisonment as Gospel Opportunity
Original: δεσμά
Category: Suffering and Joy
NEW — Philippians 1:7, 1:13-14, 1:17. Standard vocabulary; the doctrinal risk lies in the surrounding framing (gospel opportunity, not defeat), not the word itself.
Fellowship In His Sufferings
Approved rendering: persekutuan dalam penderitaan-Nya
Transliteration: persekutuan dalam penderitaan-Nya
Doctrine: Joy in Suffering and Imprisonment
Original: κοινωνία [τῶν] παθημάτων αὐτοῦ
Category: Suffering and Joy
NEW — Philippians 3:10. Higher-stakes theological collocation than baseline ‘fellowship’ alone; real, participatory union with Christ’s sufferings, not mere sympathy.
