Cross-Reference Analysis

Cross-Reference and Theme Analysis — Galatians

English → Kashmiri | Galatians 1–6 | Phase 1, Step 3

Curriculum: Galatians Core passage: Galatians 2:15–21 Authority: Extends the baseline Romans Language Package and the Phase 1 Step 1 outputs (07_semantic_analysis.md, 08_core_glossary.md) without contradiction. All term renderings below reuse baseline translation_memory.json entries exactly where applicable and the newly proposed Galatians terms from 08_core_glossary.md Table 2 where new.

Citation convention: All references normalized as Book Chapter:Verse (e.g., “Galatians 2:16”, “Genesis 15:6”), matching the baseline’s Arabic-numeral, YouVersion-compatible citation format. This convention must be preserved identically in all Phase 2 output and footnoting.

Coverage statement (PRD full-book mandate): Every chapter of Galatians (1–6) is represented below. Every chapter contains at least one Old Testament quotation, allusion, or messianic/typological connection load-bearing enough to require translation guidance; none is a “no new content” chapter for cross-reference purposes, though the density varies (chapters 3–4 carry the heaviest Old Testament argumentation in the letter).

Galatians 1:1(cf. Romans 1:1, Paul’s apostolic self-designation)Paul’s ApostleshipPaulNT parallelرسول (baseline) reused; “not from man nor through man” intensifies the baseline’s Muhammad-title caution — must state Paul’s commissioning is directly divine, distinct from any human-transmitted religious office.
Galatians 1:4Echoes Isaiah 53 sacrificial “for our sins”; cf. Romans 4:25Crucified with ChristChristTypological/thematic echoSubstitutionary “gave himself for our sins” language; render consistently with 2:20’s “gave himself for me” construction (اپن آپ حوالہٕ کرِتھ). Flag for theologian review per baseline’s atonement-language escalation rule.
Galatians 1:8–9Echoes Deuteronomy 27–28 covenant-curse formulasThe True Gospel versus False GospelsPaul, “even an angel”Covenant-curse-form echoملعون (anathema) chosen deliberately per 08_core_glossary.md; must retain full covenantal severity, not read as casual insult.
Galatians 1:14Background: Pharisaic tradition (cf. Philippians 3:5–6, Acts 22:3)Paul’s ApostleshipPaulBiographical/thematic, no direct OT textباپ دادن ہنٛز روایت; illustrates the zeal-for-tradition pattern reordered by revelation (1:15–16), not a claim of doctrinal equivalence with any present-day tradition.
Galatians 1:15Allusion: Jeremiah 1:5 (“before I formed you in the womb I knew you… I appointed you a prophet”); Isaiah 49:1, 5 (Servant “called from the womb”)Divine Calling / Paul’s ApostleshipPaul; typologically, Jeremiah and Isaiah’s ServantAllusionسَدہ گیہ / خُدایُک چُنٲوُن (baseline, reused). Directly parallels Romans 9:11’s “before they were born” election language (Jacob/Esau) — both texts ground personal, pre-natal divine election; render calling/election vocabulary identically to its Romans usage per the baseline’s cross-document consistency rule.
Galatians 1:16Cf. Romans 1:3–4’s Son-of-God ChristologySonship of Christ / Paul’s ApostleshipChristNT parallelخُدایہ ہند پُتر (baseline, reused exactly). Full Tawhid-collision risk from baseline applies at first occurrence in this letter.

Galatians 2:6Allusion: Deuteronomy 10:17, Leviticus 19:15 (“God shows no partiality”); cf. Romans 2:11Paul’s Apostleship / equality of gospel ministryMoses (background); James, Cephas, JohnAllusion / NT parallelNew descriptive phrase (خُدا کہین منز فرق نہٕ کرِ, “God shows no partiality among persons”) should be coined once and reused if this exact idiom recurs in a future Romans 2:11 rendering; flag for cross-document consistency check in Phase 2.
Galatians 2:9Cf. Romans 15:19–20 apostolic partnership languagePaul’s ApostleshipPaul, Barnabas, James, Cephas, JohnThematic parallelرفاقت (baseline, reused); “right hand of fellowship” gesture-phrase, low risk.
Galatians 2:15–16Allusion: Psalm 143:2 (“no one living is righteous before you”); direct parallel Romans 3:20Justification by FaithDavid (psalmist); Paul, PeterAllusion (shared with Romans)CRITICAL RENDERING-CONSISTENCY REQUIREMENT. Romans 3:20’s Kashmiri rendering of this same Psalm 143:2 allusion, once fixed, must be reused verbatim for Galatians 2:16’s “by works of the law no one will be justified.” شریعتہ ہنٛز اعمال + راستباز ٹھہرایہ گیہ (baseline/new terms) must appear identically in both books’ treatment of this shared argument.
Galatians 2:17Cf. Romans 6:1–2 (rhetorical “shall we sin that grace may abound?”)Justification by Faith / Law and GraceChrist (rhetorically)Structural/rhetorical parallelگناہک خادِم; μὴ γένοιτο idiom (ہرگز نہٕ / خُدا نہٕ کرِ) should match however Romans renders the identical Greek idiom (used 10× in Romans) for cross-document consistency.
Galatians 2:20Typological echo: Isaiah 53:5–6, 12 (Servant “given up,” bearing others’ guilt); direct NT parallel Romans 4:25, 8:32 (παραδίδωμι, “gave/handed over”)Crucified with ChristChrist; Isaiah’s Suffering Servant (typologically)Typology / shared NT vocabulary with Romansمسیح سٕتی مصلوب کرنہٕ آمُت (new, Critical) + اپن آپ حوالہٕ کرِتھ (“gave himself up”). The verb “gave/handed over” (παραδίδωμι) is the identical Greek root Romans uses for the Father’s/Christ’s self-giving (Romans 4:25, 8:32); Kashmiri renderings of this verb-root should be harmonized across both curricula wherever it recurs.
Galatians 2:21Cf. Romans 3:24–26 (grace, redemption, propitiation cluster)Law and Grace / Justification by FaithChristThematic parallelفضل (baseline) + رَد کرنہٕ + بے فائدہٕ مرِنہٕ (new terms). This verse is the letter’s rhetorical peak and shares its logical structure (law-righteousness ⇒ needless cross) with Romans’ broader grace-argument; flag per baseline’s mandatory grace-vs-works theologian-review rule.

Chapter 3

Galatians PassageOT Source / NT ParallelThemeRelated Character(s)TypeTranslation Sensitivity
Galatians 3:6Direct quotation: Genesis 15:6 (“Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”); also cited Romans 4:3, James 2:23Justification by Faith / Abrahamic CovenantAbrahamDirect quotation (shared with Romans)CRITICAL. دِتمُت راستبازی (baseline imputed_righteousness, reused exactly). This is the single most important shared-quotation rendering-consistency case in the whole curriculum: the Kashmiri wording of Genesis 15:6 fixed for Romans 4:3 MUST be reused verbatim in Galatians 3:6 — same verb forms, same word order, no stylistic variation.
Galatians 3:8Direct quotation (conflated): Genesis 12:3, 18:18, 22:18 (“In you shall all the nations be blessed”)Abrahamic Covenant and Promise / Gospel to GentilesAbrahamDirect quotationHigh. Parallels Romans 4:13, 17 (“heir of the world,” “father of many nations”). غیر-قوم (baseline “gentiles/nations”) here carries a positive, promised-blessing sense — distinct in tone from 2:15’s “Gentile sinners” — must not be flattened into the same connotation.
Galatians 3:10Direct quotation: Deuteronomy 27:26 (“Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them”)The Law’s Purpose / curse of the lawMoses (mediating); “everyone” under lawDirect quotationCritical. Foundational text for شریعتہ ہنٛز لعنت (new term, “curse of the law”). Connects to Romans 10:5’s citation of the adjacent Leviticus 18:5 argument-cluster; both should be taught as part of one coherent Pauline argument about the law’s inability to justify.
Galatians 3:11Direct quotation: Habakkuk 2:4 (“The righteous shall live by faith”)Justification by FaithHabakkuk (prophet); “the righteous”Direct quotation (shared with Romans)CRITICAL — HIGHEST-PRIORITY CONSISTENCY RULE IN THIS DOCUMENT. This is the identical Old Testament text underlying Romans’ thesis statement (Romans 1:17), which the baseline’s Theological Consistency Rules already mandate must be rendered identically “across all documents.” Galatians 3:11 is therefore not a new translation decision — it is a mandatory verbatim reuse of the already-fixed Romans 1:17 Habakkuk 2:4 rendering. Any deviation must be flagged and blocked at validation.
Galatians 3:12Direct quotation: Leviticus 18:5 (“The one who does them shall live by them”)Law and GraceMoses (mediating)Direct quotation (shared with Romans)High. Also quoted Romans 10:5; render identically across both curricula — same law-versus-faith contrastive function in both letters.
Galatians 3:13Direct quotation: Deuteronomy 21:23 (“Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”)Crucified with Christ / curse of the lawChristDirect quotation, messianic/typological fulfillmentCritical. Grounds the “redeemed us from the curse of the law…having become a curse for us” doctrine. Directly engages the Quranic burden-bearing objection (Quran 6:164, 53:38) already flagged in 08_core_glossary.md; must be taught into explicitly, not smoothed over.
Galatians 3:16Direct quotation/argument: Genesis 12:7, 13:15, 17:7–8, 24:7 (“to your offspring/seed”)Abrahamic Covenant and Promise / Messianic PromiseAbraham; Christ (as the singular seed)Direct quotation + typological-messianic argumentCritical. نسل (new term). Extends the baseline seed_of_david pattern. Parallels Romans 4:13, 16–18 (“heir of the world,” “father of many nations,” “call into existence the things that do not exist”). Kashmiri نسل does not visibly preserve the Greek’s singular/plural distinction; the doctrinal point (the promise’s true heir is Christ alone) must be stated explicitly in prose in both curricula, not left to grammar.
Galatians 3:19Allusion: Deuteronomy 33:2 (LXX); extra-canonical Second Temple tradition also reflected in Acts 7:53, Hebrews 2:2 (“the law…given through angels by an intermediary”)The Law’s PurposeMoses; angels (tradition)Allusion (Second Temple background, not a direct Pentateuch quotation)Medium. Likely unfamiliar to readers without Second Temple background; brief explanatory note recommended rather than assuming the angelic-mediation tradition is known.
Galatians 3:24–25Thematic parallel: Romans 7:7–13 (the law’s role in exposing sin, preparing for Christ)The Law’s PurposeNT thematic parallel (not an OT citation)Medium. نگہبان (new term, guardian/tutor); should be taught alongside Romans 7’s parallel argument about the law’s temporary, preparatory, sin-exposing function, for a fuller composite picture across both curricula.
Galatians 3:27–28Thematic parallel: Romans 6:3–4 (baptized into Christ’s death); Romans 10:12 (“no distinction between Jew and Greek”)Circumcision and the New Creation / Unity of Jews and GentilesNT thematic parallelHigh. مسیحہ منز بپتسمہ (new term) and the Jew/Greek/slave/free/male/female unity list extend the baseline’s unity_of_jews_and_gentiles doctrine into two categories (social status, gender) not addressed in Romans; render consistently with Romans’ existing unity vocabulary while extending its scope explicitly.
Galatians 3:29Cf. Romans 4:16 (“heirs…of the faith of Abraham”)Abrahamic Covenant and Promise / Adoption and SonshipAbrahamNT thematic parallelHigh. وارث (new term); reused identically at Galatians 4:1, 7.

Chapter 4

Galatians PassageOT Source / NT ParallelThemeRelated Character(s)TypeTranslation Sensitivity
Galatians 4:4Typological echo: Genesis 3:15 (“seed of the woman”); cf. Romans 1:3 (“descended from David according to the flesh”)Incarnation / Messianic PromiseChrist; Eve (typologically)Typological allusion + NT parallelCritical. “Born of woman, born under the law” affirms full, genuine humanity and full subjection to the law — parallels Romans 1:3’s “according to the flesh” formula opening that letter’s Christological argument. Both letters ground their argument in Christ’s real humanity before turning to his divine identity; maintain this same sequencing in teaching notes.
Galatians 4:5Cf. Romans 8:15, 23 (adoption, redemption)Adoption and Sonship / The Law’s PurposeChrist; believersNT parallel (verbatim doctrinal overlap with Romans 8)High. خدا ہند فرزند بنٲوُن + قیمت دِتھ آزاد کرنہٕ (baseline + new term). Same Islamic-law kafala contrast as baseline Romans 8:15 entry applies identically here.
Galatians 4:6Verbatim NT parallel: Romans 8:15 (“Abba, Father”)Adoption and SonshipThe Spirit; believersDirect verbatim NT parallelCRITICAL RENDERING-CONSISTENCY REQUIREMENT. ابّا / باپت (baseline, reused exactly). This phrase must be rendered character-for-character identically to its Romans 8:15 form — this is the clearest word-for-word doctrinal overlap between the two letters in the entire curriculum.
Galatians 4:21–31Direct narrative source: Genesis 16:1–16; 17:15–21; 21:1–21 (Hagar, Ishmael, Sarah, Isaac)Abrahamic Covenant and Promise / Law and GraceHagar, Ishmael, Sarah, Isaac, AbrahamTypology / AllegoryCRITICAL — highest pastoral-sensitivity passage in the letter. Maps Hagar/Ishmael onto slavery-under-law and Sarah/Isaac onto freedom-through-promise. Mainstream Islamic tradition honors Ishmael as central to the Abrahamic sacrifice narrative and the Ka’bah/Quraysh lineage. Must be taught explicitly and repeatedly as a theological allegory about two covenant-principles (law vs. promise), never as a statement about Ishmael’s, Hagar’s, or their descendants’ personal worth or standing. No direct Romans parallel exists for this specific typology — it is unique to Galatians and requires its own dedicated teaching unit.
Galatians 4:27Direct quotation: Isaiah 54:1 (“Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear…”)Abrahamic Covenant and PromiseSarah (typologically); “Jerusalem above”Direct quotationHigh. Original Isaiah context is Zion’s future restoration after exile; Paul applies it typologically to the free, promise-born people of God (the church). Must preserve this OT-restoration-to-NT-fulfillment link explicitly rather than treating the quotation as free-floating.
Galatians 4:29Narrative echo: Genesis 21:9 (Ishmael “mocking” Isaac)Abrahamic Covenant and PromiseIshmael, IsaacTypological allusionMedium–High. “So also it is now” (contemporary application) must be framed as a pattern within salvation history, not a live accusation against any present-day community, per the region’s own communal-tension sensitivities.
Galatians 4:30Direct quotation: Genesis 21:10 (“Cast out the slave woman and her son…”)Law and Grace / Abrahamic CovenantSarah, Hagar, Ishmael, IsaacDirect quotationCritical, intensifying 4:21–31’s sensitivity — these are Sarah’s own recorded words. Must be taught strictly within the law-versus-promise allegorical frame Paul himself supplies (4:24, “these women are two covenants”), never detached from it.

Chapter 5

Galatians PassageOT Source / NT ParallelThemeRelated Character(s)TypeTranslation Sensitivity
Galatians 5:1Typological echo: Exodus 20:2 (“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery”)Freedom in ChristMoses, Israel (typologically)Typological allusionCritical. مسیحہ منز آزادی (new term). Must be explicitly anchored to Exodus-deliverance typology (freedom from law’s condemnation and sin’s bondage), never left to resonate with contemporary political self-determination discourse — the single highest-sensitivity rendering choice in the letter alongside the Hagar/Sarah passage.
Galatians 5:6Cf. Romans 13:8–10 (love as the law’s fulfillment, from a different angle)Faith Working through LoveThematic parallelHigh. ایمان مُحبتہٕ معرفت کم کرن (new term); complements, and must be taught alongside, Romans’ own love-fulfills-the-law argument for a unified picture.
Galatians 5:14Direct quotation: Leviticus 19:18 (“You shall love your neighbor as yourself”)Faith Working through Love / The Law’s PurposeMosesDirect quotation (shared with Romans)High — rendering-consistency required. Also quoted Romans 13:9. Kashmiri wording of Leviticus 19:18 must be identical in both curricula’s treatment of this verse.
Galatians 5:16–24Thematic parallel: Romans 8:1–13 (flesh vs. Spirit)Flesh versus SpiritExtended NT thematic parallelCritical. نفس (new term) for ethical “flesh,” distinct from baseline’s neutral جسم sense (Galatians 2:20). This chapter’s flesh/Spirit contrast should be taught as the fuller companion argument to Romans 8’s parallel treatment, while flagging نفس’s distinct Islamic-ethics risk (self-effort mastery framing) not present in Romans’ context.
Galatians 5:21Cf. baseline kingdom_of_god doctrine; parallel 1 Corinthians 6:9–10Flesh versus Spirit / Kingdom MissionNT thematic parallelMedium. خُدایُک بادشاہت (baseline, reused); “will not inherit” language should connect to the inheritance/heir theme already established in chapter 3–4.

Chapter 6

Galatians PassageOT Source / NT ParallelThemeRelated Character(s)TypeTranslation Sensitivity
Galatians 6:2Cf. Romans 15:1–2 (bearing with the weak, mutual edification)Bearing One Another’s BurdensThematic parallelMedium. اکہ اکس ہنٛز بوجھ برداشت کرنہٕ + مسیحُک شریعت (new terms); connects to baseline’s mutual_edification doctrine (Romans 14:19, 15:2).
Galatians 6:7Wisdom-literature echo: Hosea 8:7 (“they sow the wind and reap the whirlwind”); Job 4:8; Proverbs 22:8Flesh versus Spirit / Bearing One Another’s BurdensProverbial/wisdom allusionMedium–High. بونہٕ تہٕ لُنُن (new term). Risk of conflation with karma-phal moral cause-and-effect doctrine flagged in 08_core_glossary.md; teach as a this-life-and-eternity, grace-and-Spirit-anchored principle, not a self-effort merit ledger.
Galatians 6:15Thematic parallel: 2 Corinthians 5:17 (“if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation”); echoes Isaiah 65:17, 66:22 (new heavens and new earth, creation-renewal language)Circumcision and the New CreationTypological/thematic echoCritical. نوی مخلوق (new term). Isaiah’s new-creation/new-heavens-and-earth language provides the OT canonical root for this NT doctrine; must be taught as God’s objective re-creative act paralleling Genesis creation and Isaiah’s promised renewal — not Trika’s pratyabhijna self-recognition, and not reincarnation.
Galatians 6:16Echoes covenant-people language: Psalm 125:5, 128:6 (“peace be upon Israel”)Unity of Jews and Gentiles (baseline doctrine)AllusionMedium–High. اسرائیل (baseline, reused). “Israel of God” is exegetically debated (the church as true Israel, vs. believing ethnic Israel within the church); the curriculum should present the phrase’s ambiguity honestly rather than resolve it artificially, per the baseline’s existing sensitivity note on Israel’s contemporary political resonance.
Galatians 6:18Verbatim parallel: Galatians 1:3 (letter’s own opening); structurally parallel to Romans 16:20 (closing grace-benediction)Law and GraceStructural/bracketing parallel (intra-letter and cross-curriculum)Critical. فضل (baseline, reused). Render identically to Galatians 1:3’s opening greeting and consistently with however Romans’ closing benediction is rendered, per the baseline’s cross-document consistency principle.

PART B — Messianic References Summary

PassageMessianic ContentOT RootTranslation Note
Galatians 3:16Christ as the singular “seed” of Abraham, sole heir of the promiseGenesis 12:7, 13:15, 17:7–8, 24:7Must state the Christological identification explicitly in prose (see نسل entry above).
Galatians 3:13Christ becomes “a curse” bearing the law’s curse in believers’ placeDeuteronomy 21:23Direct substitutionary atonement; teach into the Quranic burden-bearing objection explicitly.
Galatians 3:8, 14The Abrahamic blessing-to-the-nations promise reaches fulfillment “in Christ Jesus”Genesis 12:3, 18:18, 22:18Connects universal Gentile inclusion (baseline universal_scope_of_gospel) to its Abrahamic covenant root.
Galatians 4:4–5”God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law” — incarnation and redemption convergeCf. Genesis 3:15 (typological); fulfills Genesis 12/15/22 promise trajectoryFull weight of baseline incarnation and son_of_god Critical risk applies; this is the letter’s densest single Christological statement.
Galatians 1:4, 2:20Christ’s self-giving death “for our sins” / “for me”Typological echo: Isaiah 53:5–6, 12Substitutionary atonement language; mandatory theologian review per baseline escalation rule.

PART C — Typological Summary

Type / AntitypeGalatians PassageOT RootTheological Point
Hagar (slave woman) / Sarah (free woman)Galatians 4:21–31Genesis 16, 21Two covenants: law-bound slavery vs. promise-born freedom. Highest-sensitivity typology in the letter (see Part A, ch. 4).
Ishmael (born “according to the flesh”) / Isaac (born “according to the Spirit,” i.e., by promise)Galatians 4:23, 29Genesis 16:15, 21:2–3Natural human effort to fulfill God’s promise (Ishmael) vs. God’s own promise-keeping power (Isaac); parallel to flesh/Spirit contrast of chapter 5.
The law as paidagogos (guardian/tutor)Galatians 3:24–25Background: Mosaic law-giving generallyThe law’s temporary, disciplinary, preparatory role prior to Christ — not the law’s abolition as morally worthless; parallels Romans 7:7–13.
Exodus deliverance from slavery in EgyptGalatians 5:1Exodus 20:2Historical pattern of God’s redemptive freeing of a bound people, now applied spiritually to freedom from the law’s condemnation and sin’s dominion.
Abraham as father of all who believe (not merely of the circumcised)Galatians 3:6–9, 29Genesis 15:6; 17:5Paradigm case of justification by faith prior to and apart from the law or circumcision; shared exactly with Romans 4.

PART D — Rendering-Consistency Rules for Shared Quotations (Galatians ↔ Romans)

These rules govern any future Phase 2 processing of Galatians alongside the existing Romans corpus and must be enforced at validation:

  1. Genesis 15:6 (Galatians 3:6; Romans 4:3): Kashmiri wording must be identical in both books, using باseline دِتمُت راستبازی and its surrounding clause structure exactly as fixed in Romans.
  2. Habakkuk 2:4 (Galatians 3:11; Romans 1:17): This is the highest-priority consistency rule in the curriculum. Galatians 3:11 must reuse Romans 1:17’s already-established rendering verbatim, per the baseline’s own Theological Consistency Rules mandating identical treatment of Romans 1:16–17 “across all documents.”
  3. Leviticus 18:5 (Galatians 3:12; Romans 10:5): Identical rendering required in both books.
  4. Leviticus 19:18 (Galatians 5:14; Romans 13:9): Identical rendering required in both books.
  5. Psalm 143:2 allusion / “no one justified by works of the law” (Galatians 2:16; Romans 3:20): Identical rendering of شریعتہ ہنٛز اعمال + راستباز ٹھہرایہ گیہ construction required.
  6. Abba, Father (Galatians 4:6; Romans 8:15): Character-for-character identical rendering required; this is a verbatim NT parallel, not merely a shared OT source.
  7. παραδίδωμι (“gave/handed over”) self-giving vocabulary (Galatians 1:4, 2:20; Romans 4:25, 8:32): Harmonize the Kashmiri verb-phrase for Christ’s/the Father’s self-giving across both curricula wherever this root recurs.
  8. “Abraham believed… reckoned as righteousness” doctrinal cluster (Galatians 3:6–9; Romans 4:1–25): Both books’ teaching material on Abraham as the paradigm of faith-apart-from-works should use identical supporting vocabulary (ایمان, راستبازی, دِتمُت راستبازی) and should not introduce divergent explanatory framings between the two curricula.
  9. Seed/offspring Christological argument (Galatians 3:16, 29; Romans 4:13, 16–18; baseline seed_of_david): Use نسل consistently; state the singular-versus-collective doctrinal point explicitly in prose in both curricula, since the Kashmiri noun does not visibly mark this distinction.
  10. Election/calling “before birth” language (Galatians 1:15; Romans 9:11–12): Use سَدہ گیہ / خُدایُک چُنٲوُن consistently; both passages ground personal, sovereign, pre-natal divine election and should be cross-taught as a single doctrinal unit spanning both letters.
  11. Freedom and flesh/Spirit as extended companion arguments (Galatians 5; Romans 6–8): While these are thematic rather than direct-quotation parallels, key terms (فضل, پاک روح, گناہ, شریعت) must remain identical across both books’ treatment of this shared argument-complex.
  12. Closing grace benediction (Galatians 1:3, 6:18; Romans 16:20): Render consistently within Galatians itself (opening/closing bracket) and in harmony with Romans’ own closing-benediction convention.
