Passage

Romans 5

• Doctrine

  Faith

  Personal trust in Christ; comparatively lower secular-flattening risk than French or Swedish cognates.

  ROM.5.1-2

• Glossary Term

  Faith

  'Fede' also names the wedding ring ('la fede nuziale') and appears in legal/commercial idiom ('buona fede'); generally lower flattening risk than French or Swedish cognates since religious 'fede' remains fairly robust in Italian usage.

  ROM.5.1-2

• Doctrine

  Grace

  Catholic sacramental grace and Waldensian/evangelical sola gratia are the same Italian word carrying different doctrinal freight; must always reinforce 'apart from merit'.

  ROM.5.2, ROM.5.15-17, ROM.5.20-21

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  Same word used by Catholic and Waldensian/evangelical traditions, but with different doctrinal freight: Catholic catechesis ties grazia to sacramental mediation ('stato di grazia' maintained via confession); Waldensian/evangelical tradition holds sola gratia apart from sacramental mediation.

  ROM.5.2, ROM.5.15-17, ROM.5.20-21

• Doctrine

  Humanity of Christ

  Real physical human nature; no competing illusionist worldview in Italian culture.

  ROM.5.15

• Glossary Term

  Peace

  In Romans 5:1, relational peace with God through justification, not merely psychological calm.

  ROM.5.1

• Doctrine

  Peace with God

  Relational, covenantal peace through justification, not psychological calm.
