Cross-Reference Analysis
Cross-Reference and Theme Analysis — Titus (Full Book)
Methodology Note
Titus is a short pastoral letter with a dense concentration of Old Testament allusion inside its core passage (2:11–3:8), a set of near-verbatim parallels to other Pastoral Epistles material (1–2 Timothy) within the same language package, and one non-scriptural literary quotation (1:12) requiring special handling. This document covers every chapter of Titus (1, 2, 3) with no gaps: every OT quotation, allusion, and typological connection is logged, together with the character(s) in view, the connection type, and translation sensitivity. Where a chapter section contributes no new OT/NT cross-reference beyond what is already logged, this is stated explicitly rather than omitted.
All rendering-consistency rules below are additive to, and must never contradict, the baseline Romans Language Package’s own consistency rules (e.g., Romans 1:16–17, Romans 8:28, Romans 10:9–10 fixed renderings; Romans 13:1–7 authority-segment review routing).
PART A: Master Cross-Reference Matrix
Columns: Passage (Titus) | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity
| Passage (Titus) | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Titus 1:1 | Apostleship / Divine Calling | Paul | Parallels Romans 1:1 (servant/apostle self-designation formula); election language (κατὰ πίστιν ἐκλεκτῶν θεοῦ) echoes God’s sovereign choice of a covenant people (Deuteronomy 7:6–8) | High — reuse baseline’s ಅಪೊಸ್ತಲ, ದೇವರ ಆಯ್ಕೆ exactly; ದೇವರ ದಾಸ carries Haridasa bhakti “dasa” resonance requiring disambiguation (see 08_core_glossary.md) |
| Titus 1:2 | Faithfulness of God’s Promise | God (the Father) | Direct allusion: Numbers 23:19 (“God is not man, that he should lie”); 1 Samuel 15:29; Psalm 89:34–35 (LXX Psalm 88:34–35) | Medium — must convey covenant reliability, not merely factual honesty |
| Titus 1:2–3 | Eternal Purpose / Fulfillment of Prophecy | God | Parallels Ephesians 1:4; 2 Timothy 1:9–10; Romans 16:25–26 (the “mystery kept secret, now manifested” pattern) | High — eternal decree language must not be absorbed into ಹಣೆಬರಹ (fatalism) or cyclical-time cosmology; reuse baseline’s providence caution |
| Titus 1:3 | Gospel Proclamation / Deity as Savior | Paul, God | Parallels Romans 1:1–5; Galatians 1:1 (apostolic commissioning); first of six σωτήρ (“Savior”) occurrences in the letter | Critical — ದೇವರು + ರಕ್ಷಕ (08_core_glossary.md); Savior title applied to God the Father here, to Christ elsewhere (1:4; 2:13; 3:6) — the doubling is theologically load-bearing |
| Titus 1:4 | Spiritual Fatherhood; Deity/Saviorhood of Christ | Titus, Paul, Jesus Christ | Parallels 1 Timothy 1:2 (Timothy as “true child in the faith”); 1 Corinthians 4:17 | Critical — “Christ Jesus our Savior,” second σωτήρ occurrence, now applied to Christ |
| Titus 1:5–9 | Qualifications for Elders | Titus, elder/overseer candidates | Typological background: Exodus 18:13–26 (Moses appoints elder-judges); Numbers 11:16–17; Deuteronomy 1:13–15. Direct NT parallel: 1 Timothy 3:1–7 (near-verbatim qualification list, same office) | High — must render consistently with 1 Timothy 3 elder/overseer vocabulary within this package; distinguish office from ಗುರು/ಜಂಗಮ analogues (08_core_glossary.md) |
| Titus 1:6 | Household Order (marriage) | Elder candidate’s household | Background: Genesis 2:24 (marriage as creation ordinance); direct parallel 1 Timothy 3:4–5 | Medium |
| Titus 1:9 | Sound Doctrine and Good Works | Elder/overseer | Parallels 1 Timothy 1:10; 1 Timothy 6:3; 2 Timothy 4:3; OT background: true-vs-false-prophet contrast, Deuteronomy 13:1–5; Jeremiah 23:16–22 | High — ಸ್ವಸ್ಥ ಬೋಧನೆ consistency across 1:9, 1:13, 2:1, 2:2, 2:8 |
| Titus 1:10–11 | Avoiding Divisive Controversies (false teaching) | “The circumcision party” (unnamed) | Direct parallel: Galatians 2:11–14; Acts 15:1–5; Romans 2:25–29 (circumcision-party controversy recurring across the Pauline corpus); “gain” motive parallels 1 Timothy 6:5 | High — requires OT/Jewish-Christian legalism background explanation given low OT narrative literacy in the target audience (per baseline’s stated audience profile) |
| Titus 1:12 | Cultural Critique / Rhetorical Quotation | (Quoted) Epimenides, a Cretan poet | NOT a scripture citation — extra-biblical Greek literary quotation. Parallel rhetorical technique: Acts 17:28 (Paul quoting pagan poets Epimenides/Aratus at Athens) | Medium — must be visibly marked as a quotation, not the biblical author’s own ethnic judgment; if Acts is later translated under this package, use one consistent footnote convention for “Pauline citation of pagan literature” across both |
| Titus 1:13–14 | Sound Doctrine (rejecting myths) | Titus | Parallels 1 Timothy 1:4 (“myths and endless genealogies”); 1 Timothy 4:7; 2 Timothy 4:4 | Medium |
| Titus 1:15 | Inner Purity vs. Ritual Purity | (general — “the defiled”) | Direct doctrinal echo: Mark 7:14–23; Romans 14:14, 20; Acts 10:15, 10:28; background contrast with Levitical clean/unclean food law (Leviticus 11) | High — must preserve baseline’s ಪವಿತ್ರ (relational/moral) vs ಶುದ್ಧ (ritual) distinction; real collision risk with Hindu ritual-purity codes (food, caste) present in Karnataka daily life |
| Titus 1:16 | Sound Doctrine and Good Works (negative pole) | False teachers | Parallels Matthew 7:21–23; 1 John 2:4; Isaiah 29:13 (LXX, quoted at Matthew 15:8 — “lips honor me, but heart is far”) | High — establishes the negative bookend to 2:14/3:8’s positive good-works climax; keep ἔργα-root rendering visible across both poles |
| Titus 2:1 | Sound Doctrine | Titus | Parallels 1 Timothy 4:6; 2 Timothy 4:2–3 | Medium |
| Titus 2:2–3 | Household Codes / Godly Living Across Generations | Older men, older women | Parallels 1 Timothy 5:1–2; wisdom-literature honor-of-elders theme (Leviticus 19:32; Proverbs 16:31) | Medium |
| Titus 2:4–5 | Submission to Authority (household) | Younger women | Direct parallel: Ephesians 5:22–24; Colossians 3:18; 1 Peter 3:1–6; background Genesis 2:18–24, 3:16 | High — per baseline’s ὑποτάσσω flag on social-power relationships; must be gospel-grounded, not caste-model subordination |
| Titus 2:5 | Gospel Witness Through Conduct | Believing households | Parallels 1 Peter 2:12; Romans 2:24 (which itself quotes Isaiah 52:5 — “my name is blasphemed among the Gentiles”) | Medium — ದೂಷಿಸು/ನಿಂದಿಸು rendering should match Romans 2:24 usage |
| Titus 2:6–8 | Sound Doctrine Modeled in Life | Titus, younger men | Parallels 1 Timothy 4:12 (“set an example”); 1 Corinthians 11:1 | Medium |
| Titus 2:9–10 | Submission to Authority (household/bondservice) | Bondservants | Direct parallel: Ephesians 6:5–8; Colossians 3:22–25; 1 Peter 2:18–20; the whole letter of Philemon | High — δεσπότης/ಒಡೆಯ must stay lexically distinct from κύριος/ಕರ್ತ (08_core_glossary.md); flag social-historical sensitivity (translators must not appear to endorse slavery as an institution) |
| Titus 2:11 | Grace That Trains for Godly Living | God’s grace (personified) | See Part B below (Exodus 19:5 cluster, ἐπιφαίνω word-family) | Critical |
| Titus 2:12 | Grace That Trains for Godly Living | Believers | Ethical triad (σωφρόνως, δικαίως, εὐσεβῶς) parallels Ephesians 4:22–24; Colossians 3:9–10 (“put off… put on”) renewal-of-life pattern | High |
| Titus 2:13 | Deity of Christ; Second Coming | Jesus Christ | Parallels Romans 9:5 (Christ “God over all”); John 1:1; John 20:28; structurally similar Granville-Sharp construction later echoed in 2 Peter 1:1 (outside package, noted for future) | Critical |
| Titus 2:14 | Salvation by Grace not Works; Church as God’s People | Jesus Christ, the redeemed people | See Part B below (λαὸς περιούσιος cluster) | Critical |
| Titus 2:15 | Pastoral Authority | Titus | Parallels 1 Timothy 4:12b (“let no one despise you”); 1 Corinthians 16:11 | Low |
| Titus 3:1–2 | Submission to Authority (civil) | Believers generally | Direct major parallel: Romans 13:1–7 (primary cross-curriculum anchor in this package); 1 Peter 2:13–17; OT background Jeremiah 29:7 (seek the welfare of the city); Daniel 1, 6 (submission to pagan kings while retaining faithful distinctiveness) | High — must inherit Romans 13’s own native-speaker review routing and terminology exactly |
| Titus 3:3 | Universal Human Accountability; Regeneration (the “before” state) | Paul, Titus, “we ourselves” | Direct parallel: Romans 1:21–32; Ephesians 2:1–3; Ephesians 4:17–19; Colossians 3:5–7; 1 Corinthians 6:9–11 | High — vice-list vocabulary should reuse Kannada renderings already fixed for the parallel Romans 1 list |
| Titus 3:4–7 | Salvation by Grace not Works; Regeneration by the Holy Spirit | God, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit | See Part B below (Ezekiel 36 cluster; Joel 2/Acts 2 cluster; Genesis 15/Romans 4 heirship cluster) | Critical |
| Titus 3:8 | Sound Doctrine (formulaic authority marker) | (none — formula) | Parallels 1 Timothy 1:15; 1 Timothy 3:1; 1 Timothy 4:9; 2 Timothy 2:11 (the “trustworthy saying” formula recurring across the Pastoral Epistles) | Medium — cross-document consistency mandatory if 1–2 Timothy are translated under this package |
| Titus 3:9–11 | Avoiding Divisive Controversies | ”A divisive person” (unnamed) | Parallels 1 Timothy 1:3–7; 1 Timothy 4:7; 1 Timothy 6:3–5; 2 Timothy 2:14, 16, 23; church-discipline procedure echoes Matthew 18:15–17, 2 Thessalonians 3:14–15; OT background Deuteronomy 19:15 (two-or-three-witness principle) reflected in “one and a second warning” | High — avoid ಪಂಥ-rooted rendering (08_core_glossary.md) |
| Titus 3:12–13 | Christian Fellowship / Gospel Partnership | Artemas, Tychicus, Zenas, Apollos | Tychicus also named: Acts 20:4; Ephesians 6:21; Colossians 4:7; 2 Timothy 4:12. Apollos also named: Acts 18:24–28; 1 Corinthians 1:12; 1 Corinthians 3:4–6, 22; 1 Corinthians 16:12 | Low — proper-name form consistency only |
| Titus 3:14 | Sound Doctrine and Good Works (closing restatement) | “Our people” (the church) | Parallels Ephesians 2:10; John 15:1–8 (fruitfulness); Matthew 7:17–20 | Medium |
| Titus 3:15 | Grace (closing benediction) | All recipients | Parallels Romans 16:20, 24; Galatians 6:18 (standard Pauline grace-benediction formula) | Low |
PART B: Detailed OT Source Analysis for the Core Passage (Titus 2:11–3:8)
The core passage contains the letter’s densest concentration of Old Testament allusion, almost entirely mediated through the Greek Septuagint (LXX). These are allusions/echoes, not formal introduced quotations (“as it is written”), so they must be handled as resonant background, not marked with quotation formatting — but the rendering-consistency rules below still apply wherever the same underlying Hebrew/Greek concept recurs elsewhere in the package.
B.1 — Titus 2:14 “purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works” (λαὸς περιούσιος cluster)
| Source | Text (sense) | Connection |
|---|---|---|
| Exodus 19:5 (LXX) | “you shall be to me λαὸς περιούσιος [a people for possession] out of all the nations” | Direct lexical source of Titus’s λαὸν περιούσιον |
| Deuteronomy 14:2 | ”you are… λαὸν περιούσιον [a treasured people]“ | Same phrase, covenant-identity context |
| Deuteronomy 26:18 | ”the LORD has declared you to be his λαὸν περιούσιον” | Same phrase, covenant-renewal context |
| Ezekiel 37:23 | ”I will cleanse them… they shall be my people, and I will be their God” | Source of the purification + covenant-people pairing |
| Psalm 130:8 (LXX Psalm 129:8) | “he will redeem [λυτρώσεται] Israel from all his iniquities [ἀνομιῶν]“ | Near-verbatim verbal parallel to Titus 2:14’s λυτρώσηται ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ πάσης ἀνομίας |
| 1 Peter 2:9 (NT reception, outside current package) | “a people for his own possession” (λαὸς εἰς περιποίησιν) | Parallel NT application of the same OT theme to the Church; flag for future package consistency if 1 Peter is added |
Translation sensitivity: Critical. This cluster extends OT Israel’s covenant-people identity to the Church across ethnic lines — the direct doctrinal continuation of the baseline’s “unity_of_jews_and_gentiles” High-risk doctrine. The Kannada rendering (ಸ್ವಂತ ಜನರು / ಸ್ವಕೀಯ ಜನ) must not suggest a new ethnic or caste-restricted “chosen people,” and the redemption-from-lawlessness clause must not be rendered with ಮೋಕ್ಷ/ಮುಕ್ತಿ (see λυτρόω discussion, 08_core_glossary.md).
B.2 — Titus 3:5 “washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit” (Ezekiel 36 cluster)
| Source | Text (sense) | Connection |
|---|---|---|
| Ezekiel 36:25–27 | ”I will sprinkle clean water on you… I will give you a new heart and a new spirit… I will put my Spirit within you” | Primary OT background for the washing + renewal + Spirit triad in Titus 3:5 |
| Ezekiel 37:1–14 | Dry bones given breath/spirit and new life | Secondary resonance: Spirit-given new life from death |
| John 3:5 (NT, in package) | “born of water and the Spirit” | Direct NT parallel; if John is translated under this package, the Kannada rendering of “water/washing + Spirit + new life” must be checked for consistency with Titus 3:5 |
| Acts 22:16 | ”be baptized… wash away your sins” | Secondary NT parallel |
| Ephesians 5:26; 1 Corinthians 6:11 | ”washed… sanctified… justified” | Secondary NT parallels within package |
Translation sensitivity: Critical. This is the direct OT theological background for παλιγγενεσία, already flagged in 07/08 as the single highest-risk term in the book. The washing/new-heart/new-spirit OT pattern must be kept visibly distinct from ritual bathing purification (cf. baseline’s ಪವಿತ್ರ/ಶುದ್ಧ caution) and from ಪುನರ್ಜನ್ಮ.
B.3 — Titus 3:6 “poured out on us richly” (Joel 2 / Acts 2 cluster)
| Source | Text (sense) | Connection |
|---|---|---|
| Joel 2:28–29 (LXX Joel 3:1–2) | “I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh” | Direct source image for Titus 3:6’s outpouring language |
| Acts 2:17–18 (NT, in package) | Peter’s Pentecost sermon, quoting Joel 2:28–29 directly | Direct cross-curriculum rendering-consistency requirement: if Acts is translated under this package, the Kannada verb for “poured out” (ಸುರಿಸಿದನು/ಸುರಿಸು) at Titus 3:6 must match exactly the verb used to translate the Joel quotation at Acts 2:17–18. |
Translation sensitivity: High. A shared quotation-descended verb across two books in the same package; divergent renderings would obscure the deliberate Pentecost echo.
B.4 — Titus 3:5, 3:7 “not by works of righteousness… according to his mercy… justified by grace… heirs” (grace/heirship cluster)
| Source | Text (sense) | Connection |
|---|---|---|
| Deuteronomy 9:4–6 | ”not because of your righteousness… but because of the wickedness of the nations, and to fulfill the promise” | OT background for grace-not-merit reception of covenant blessing |
| Genesis 15:6 | ”Abram believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness” | Root OT text behind the baseline’s “imputed_righteousness” Critical entry; conceptually undergirds Titus 3:5’s works/righteousness contrast |
| Romans 3:20–28; Romans 4:4–5; Romans 9:11; Romans 11:5–6 (in package) | Grace-vs-works doctrine | Direct cross-curriculum rendering-consistency requirement — see Part D.1 below |
| Galatians 2:16; Galatians 3:11 (in package) | “not justified by works of the law but through faith” | Same doctrinal cluster |
| Ephesians 2:8–9 (in package) | “by grace you have been saved… not a result of works” | Same doctrinal cluster; among the closest verbal parallels to Titus 3:5 in the whole NT |
| Genesis 15:1–4; Romans 4:13–16; Romans 8:17; Galatians 3:29–4:7 (in package) | Heirship/inheritance theme | Background for Titus 3:7’s κληρονόμοι |
Translation sensitivity: Critical. This is the letter’s single most important cross-curriculum theological link. See Part D rendering-consistency rules below; escalate to human theologian review per the baseline’s own escalation rule for “any segment where grace is being contrasted with works/merit/sacred labor.”
B.5 — Titus 2:13 “great God and Savior Jesus Christ” (deity-of-Christ cluster)
| Source | Text (sense) | Connection |
|---|---|---|
| Romans 9:5 (in package) | Christ “who is God over all, blessed forever” | Closest doctrinal/grammatical parallel within the package — both verses directly name Christ “God” |
| John 1:1; John 20:28 (in package) | “the Word was God”; Thomas’s confession “My Lord and my God” | Supporting deity-of-Christ texts within the package |
Translation sensitivity: Critical. See 08_core_glossary.md entry “Great God and Savior.”
PART C: Messianic References and Typology Summary
C.1 Messianic / Christological titles in Titus
| Passage | Title/Description | Typological or Prophetic Connection |
|---|---|---|
| Titus 1:4 | ”Christ Jesus our Savior” | σωτήρ applied to Christ; parallels the OT’s repeated naming of YHWH as Israel’s Savior (Isaiah 43:11, 45:21) now applied to Jesus |
| Titus 2:13 | ”our great God and Savior Jesus Christ” | Direct assertion of Christ’s full deity; see B.5 above |
| Titus 2:14 | ”gave himself for us” | Substitutionary self-offering; typological fulfillment of OT sacrificial substitution (Leviticus 16; Isaiah 53:4-6, though not directly quoted in Titus) |
| Titus 3:4, 3:6 | ”God our Savior… through Jesus Christ our Savior” | The Father and the Son both named Savior within three verses — a tight Trinitarian-adjacent structure (Father’s mercy, Spirit’s regenerating work, Son’s mediating outpouring) |
C.2 Typological Connections
| OT Type | NT Fulfillment/Antitype in Titus | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Israel as covenant treasured-possession (Exodus 19:5; Deuteronomy 14:2, 26:18) | The redeemed, cross-ethnic Church (Titus 2:14) | See B.1; must not be read as new ethnic/caste exclusivity |
| Moses’ delegated elder-judges (Exodus 18:13–26; Numbers 11:16–17) | Church elders/overseers (Titus 1:5–9) | Office of recognized, character-qualified, delegated leadership — not self-attained guru status |
| Exodus/redemption-from-slavery vocabulary (Exodus 6:6; Deuteronomy 7:8; Psalm 130:8) | Redemption from lawlessness (Titus 2:14, λυτρόω) | The λυτρόω word-group is the LXX’s own vocabulary for the Exodus deliverance, now applied to moral/spiritual deliverance |
| Circumcision as covenant marker, and the OT call to “circumcise your heart” (Deuteronomy 30:6) | Regeneration by the Spirit (Titus 3:5); explicit contrast with “the circumcision party” (Titus 1:10) | The letter itself stages this typological contrast: external rite (ch.1) versus internal Spirit-wrought new birth (ch.3); parallels Romans 2:28–29, Colossians 2:11–13 |
| Levitical ritual washing (Leviticus 11–15) | “Washing of regeneration” (Titus 3:5) | Must be read as the reality behind the type — moral/relational renewal, not repeated ritual cleansing; see B.2 |
PART D: Rendering-Consistency Rules for Shared Quotations and Allusions
These rules govern Phase 2 translation wherever Titus material overlaps with other books in the destination-language package (Romans, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, 1–2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1–2 Thessalonians, 1–2 Timothy).
- Grace-vs-works formula (Titus 3:5 / Romans 3:20–28, 4:4–5, 9:11, 11:5–6 / Galatians 2:16, 3:11 / Ephesians 2:8–9): render with one consistent structural pattern (“ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳಿಂದಲ್ಲ… ಕೃಪೆಯಿಂದ,” “not by works… but by grace”) across every occurrence. Mandatory human theologian review on every occurrence, per baseline escalation rule.
- Spirit “poured out” (Titus 3:6 / Joel 2:28-29 as quoted at Acts 2:17–18): use one identical Kannada verb (ಸುರಿಸು/ಸುರಿಸಿದನು) in both books.
- “Treasured possession people” (Titus 2:14 / Exodus 19:5, Deuteronomy 14:2, 26:18 if OT portions are ever rendered under this package; forward-compatible with 1 Peter 2:9 if added later): fix ಸ್ವಂತ ಜನರು / ಸ್ವಕೀಯ ಜನ now for future consistency.
- ὑποτάσσω submission vocabulary (Titus 2:5, 2:9, 3:1 / Romans 13:1 / Ephesians 5:22–24 / Colossians 3:18): one consistent rendering (ಅಧೀನರಾಗಿರುವುದು/ವಿಧೇಯರಾಗಿರುವುದು) across all occurrences in the package.
- δεσπότης vs κύριος distinction (Titus 2:9 / Ephesians 6:5 / Colossians 3:22, all using δεσπόταις for human masters): ಒಡೆಯ must remain lexically separate from ಕರ್ತ (reserved exclusively for Christ’s Lordship) throughout the entire package, not just within Titus.
- σωτήρ (Savior) applied to both God and Christ (Titus 1:3,4; 2:10,13; 3:4,6 / 1 Timothy 1:1, 2:3, 4:10 if translated): consistent ರಕ್ಷಕ term, always visibly built on the ರಕ್ಷಣೆ root, across every occurrence naming either the Father or the Son as “Savior.”
- “Trustworthy saying” formula (πιστὸς ὁ λόγος — Titus 3:8 / 1 Timothy 1:15, 3:1, 4:9 / 2 Timothy 2:11): render identically as ನಂಬತಕ್ಕ ಮಾತು at every occurrence across the Pastoral Epistles within the package.
- Elder/overseer qualification list (Titus 1:5–9 / 1 Timothy 3:1–7, near-verbatim Greek parallel): every shared vice/virtue term (νηφάλιος, σώφρων, φιλόξενος, ἀνέγκλητος, etc.) must receive the identical Kannada rendering in both lists so learners recognize the deliberate parallel.
- Epimenides quotation (Titus 1:12) is NOT scripture. It must not receive the same citation/quotation-normalization treatment as a biblical quotation. Render with explicit Kannada quotation punctuation and a mandatory translator note identifying it as a quoted pagan proverb — parallel treatment required if Acts 17:28 (Paul’s citation of Epimenides/Aratus at Athens) is later translated under this package, so the two “Paul quotes a pagan poet” instances read consistently as the same rhetorical device.
- “Before conversion” vice catalog (Titus 3:3 / Romans 1:21–32 / Ephesians 2:1–3, 4:17–19 / Colossians 3:5–7): reuse Kannada renderings already fixed for the Romans 1 vice list wherever the same Greek vice-terms recur.
- Household code sequence (Titus 2:1–10 / Ephesians 5:22–6:9 / Colossians 3:18–4:1): consistent rendering of the wife/husband, parent/child, servant/master vocabulary set across all three letters within the package.
- “Word of God not reviled/blasphemed” (Titus 2:5 / Romans 2:24, which itself quotes Isaiah 52:5): consistent ದೂಷಿಸು/ನಿಂದಿಸು rendering across both.
- Submission to civil authority (Titus 3:1 / Romans 13:1–7): Titus 3:1 must inherit the exact terminology and native-speaker review routing the baseline already assigns to Romans 13:1–7; do not create a divergent rendering for the parallel civil-authority material.
- Proper names (Artemas, Tychicus, Zenas, Apollos): use one fixed Kannada transliteration for each name across every book in the package in which it recurs (Tychicus: Acts 20:4, Ephesians 6:21, Colossians 4:7, 2 Timothy 4:12; Apollos: Acts 18:24–28, 1 Corinthians 1:12, 3:4–6,22, 16:12).
PART E: Chapter Coverage Confirmation
| Chapter | OT/NT Cross-Reference Content | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Titus 1 | Salutation/eternal purpose (1:1–4); elder qualifications with OT eldership typology (1:5–9); false-teacher rebuke with circumcision-party and pagan-quotation material (1:10–16) | Reviewed — full cross-reference coverage logged in Part A rows 1–14 |
| Titus 2 | Household codes (2:1–10); core passage grace/epiphany/redemption material with dense OT allusion (2:11–15) | Reviewed — full cross-reference coverage logged in Part A rows 15–23 and Part B.1, B.5 |
