Passage

Romans 11

• Glossary Term

  Apostle

  Established Konkani/Marathi Christian term (distinct spelling from Hindi's प्रेरित) for an authorized, sent-out messenger.

  ROM.11.13

• Doctrine

  Apostleship

  Risk: reducing apostleship to a generic guru-disciple religious-authority role, a structure prominent in Goan Hindu devotional practice.

  ROM.11.13

• Doctrine

  Effectual Calling

  God's sovereign call that ensures the salvation of the called, not karma-determined destiny or impersonal fate.

  ROM.11.29

• Glossary Term

  Election

  God's sovereign personal choice, not fate (नशीब/प्रारब्ध) or karma-determined destiny.

  ROM.11.29

• Glossary Term

  Gentiles

  Non-Jews; established Konkani/Marathi Bible term.

  ROM.11.17-24

• Doctrine

  Grace

  Unmerited favor directly contradicts a karma-merit worldview.

  ROM.11.5-6

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  Deliberately different from Hindi, which rejects कृपा as too weak and prefers अनुग्रह; in the Konkani/Marathi Bible tradition कृपा is the established, doctrinally load-bearing term for unmerited grace and carries no weaker connotation here.

  ROM.11.5-6

• Glossary Term

  Israel

  Proper name; established Bible-translation form.

  ROM.11.17-24

• Glossary Term

  Justification

  Compound phrase required; no single Konkani word carries the forensic 'declared righteous' sense.

  ROM.11.11

• Doctrine

  Providence

  God's personal, purposive care, not impersonal fate or karma-law (नशीब/प्रारब्ध).

  ROM.11.33-36

• Glossary Term

  Providence

  God's personal, purposive provision and governance -- the established Konkani/Marathi theological term.

  ROM.11.33-36

• Glossary Term

  Righteousness

  CRITICAL: Never धर्म (cosmic/social duty).

  ROM.11.11

• Doctrine

  Salvation

  CRITICAL: Never मुक्ती or मोक्ष.

  ROM.11.11

• Glossary Term

  Salvation

  CRITICAL: NEVER मुक्ती or मोक्ष -- both carry the Hindu liberation-from-rebirth meaning shared across Goan Hindu Shaiva, Shakta, and Vaishnava practice.

  ROM.11.11

• Doctrine

  Unity of Jews and Gentiles

  Directly challenges caste-based spiritual hierarchy present in Goan Hindu social structure (including Goud Saraswat Brahmin and other caste groupings) and any lingering Hindu-Catholic communal division.

  ROM.11.17-24
