Core Glossary
Titus — Core Glossary (Konkani)
This glossary consolidates every load-bearing term identified in analysis/07_semantic_analysis.md, drawn from all three chapters of Titus. Two categories of entries appear:
- REUSED — the term already exists in the Romans baseline
translation_memory.json/bible_term_registry.jsonand MUST be rendered exactly as recorded there. No re-derivation is permitted. - NEW — the term is not present in the Romans baseline and requires a fresh Konkani rendering and risk assessment, proposed here for Phase 2 adoption into an updated
translation_memory.json.
A. Terms Reused Exactly from the Romans Baseline

Notable absences from Titus (do not force these renderings where the underlying Greek term does not occur): ἐκκλησία/मंडळी (church), ἀνάστασις/पुनरुत्थान (resurrection), εὐαγγέλιον/सुवार्ता (gospel, noun), κύριος/प्रभू (Lord, as primary title — Titus prefers σωτήρ).
B. New Terms Requiring Konkani Rendering (Full Titus-Specific Glossary)
| # | English | Greek | Transliteration | Konkani Rendering | Risk | Doctrine Category | Key Passages | Rejected Alternatives / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Savior (title) | σωτήρ | sōtēr | तारणार | Critical | Deity of Christ / Salvation | 1:3,4; 2:10,13; 3:4,6 | उद्धारक rejected (Hindi-associated उद्धार echo). Built on established तारण root. Applied to both Father and Son — load-bearing for Christ’s deity. |
| 2 | to save (verb) | σῴζω | sōzō | तारप / तारलो | Critical | Salvation | 3:5 | Verb form of established तारण; never मुक्त/सोडविलें-family. |
| 3 | appeared/appearing (verb) | ἐπιφαίνω / ἐπεφάνη | epiphainō / epephanē | प्रगट जालें | Critical | Grace Trains for Godly Living / Incarnation-adjacent | 2:11; 3:4 | Parallels देहधारण’s avatar-collision risk; mandatory translator note distinguishing from repeatable avatar-appearance narratives (e.g., Mahalasa Narayani at Mardol). |
| 4 | appearing/epiphany (noun, of Christ’s return) | ἐπιφάνεια | epiphaneia | गौरवाचें प्रगटप | Critical | Second Coming / Deity of Christ | 2:13 | Same collision family as #3; here specifically the future, bodily, glorious return — not a repeatable manifestation. |
| 5 | trains/disciplines (verb) | παιδεύω (παιδεύουσα) | paideuō | शिकोवन घडोवप | High | Grace That Trains for Godly Living | 2:12 | Must not reduce to mere “teaches”; grace (not human effort) is grammatical subject — guard against karmic self-effort reading. |
| 6 | godliness | εὐσέβεια | eusebeia | देवनिष्ठा | High | Grace Trains for Godly Living | 1:1; 2:12 (εὐσεβῶς) | भक्ती rejected — carries Goan Hindu temple-devotion weight (same reasoning baseline gives for rejecting भक्ती under “faith”). निष्ठा (loyalty/devotion) preferred root. |
| 7 | self-controlled / self-control | σώφρων / σωφροσύνη / σωφρόνως / σωφρονίζω / σωφρονεῖν | sōphrōn family | संयम / संयमी / संयमान | High | Grace Trains for Godly Living / Qualifications for Elders | 1:8; 2:2,4,5,6,12 | Root shared with सन्न्यास (ascetic renunciation) — must always be glossed as ordinary-life self-mastery (marriage, work, speech), NOT world-renunciation. Single most repeated character term in Titus. |
| 8 | sound doctrine / sound (teaching, faith) | ὑγιαίνουσα διδασκαλία / ὑγιαίνω | hygiainousa didaskalia | स्वस्थ शिकवण | High | Sound Doctrine and Good Works | 1:9,13; 2:1,2 | Preserves Paul’s health/healthy-vs-sick metaphor (ὑγιαίνω); avoid purity-based term to prevent ritual-purity misreading. |
| 9 | good works | καλὰ ἔργα | kala erga | बरीं कामां | High | Sound Doctrine and Good Works / Salvation by Grace not Works | 1:16; 2:7,14; 3:1,8,14 | MUST always be construed as fruit of grace/regeneration (3:5), never the basis of salvation. Most-repeated substantive phrase in the letter — flag every occurrence near 3:5 for theologian review. |
| 10 | lawlessness | ἀνομία | anomia | नियमहीनता | Medium | Salvation (redemption from) | 2:14 | Avoid अधर्म (baseline-rejected धर्म-family echo); built on established नियम root shared with नियमशास्त्र. |
| 11 | a people for his own possession | λαὸς περιούσιος | laos periousios | स्वताची खाशी प्रजा | High | Election / Covenant | 2:14 | Echoes LXX Exodus 19:5 covenant language; must retain ownership/treasured sense, cross-reference with पवित्र जन. |
| 12 | redeem (verb) | λυτρόω (λυτρώσηται) | lytroō | सोडोवणूक करप | Critical | Salvation | 2:14 | NEVER मुक्त/मुक्ती-family (forbidden per baseline for “salvation”); anchor to price-paid redemption from lawlessness, not generic liberation. |
| 13 | submit / be subject to | ὑποτάσσω | hypotassō | अधीन रावप | High | Submission to Authority | 2:5,9; 3:1 | Three distinct relational contexts (wives, slaves, citizens) sharing one verb — each must be handled contextually; never implies inferior spiritual worth; caste-sensitive. |
| 14 | rulers and authorities | ἀρχαὶ καὶ ἐξουσίαι | archai kai exousiai | अधिकारी आनी सत्ताधारी | Medium | Submission to Authority | 3:1 | Handle with same colonial-history sensitivity as Romans 13 material. |
| 15 | obey (authority) | πειθαρχέω | peitharcheō | हुकूम मानप | Medium | Submission to Authority | 3:1 | |
| 16 | elder | πρεσβύτερος | presbyteros | वडील | Medium | Qualifications for Elders | 1:5 | Must be marked as a specific appointed church office, not merely “an elderly person.” |
| 17 | overseer | ἐπίσκοπος | episkopos | अध्यक्ष | Medium | Qualifications for Elders | 1:7 | Functionally synonymous with वडील in this passage; avoid importing a separate, higher monarchical-bishop hierarchy. |
| 18 | steward | οἰκονόμος | oikonomos | कारभारी | Low-Medium | Qualifications for Elders | 1:7 | |
| 19 | blameless/above reproach | ἀνέγκλητος | anenklētos | निर्दोष | Medium | Qualifications for Elders | 1:6,7 | Reputational standard, not sinless perfection. |
| 20 | husband of one wife | μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἀνήρ | mias gynaikos anēr | एका बायलेचो घोव | High | Qualifications for Elders | 1:6 | Historically debated phrase — render literally, flag for theologian review, do not resolve interpretive debate in translation. |
| 21 | holy/devout (personal piety) | ὅσιος | hosios | देवभावाचो | Medium | Qualifications for Elders | 1:8 | Distinct nuance from ἅγιος/पवित्र; avoid धर्मीक (धर्म-root). |
| 22 | disciplined/self-controlled | ἐγκρατής | enkratēs | आत्मसंयमी | Medium | Qualifications for Elders | 1:8 | Near-synonym of #7; same sannyasa-adjacent caution applies. |
| 23 | myths/fables | μῦθοι | mythoi | दंतकथा | High | Avoiding Divisive Controversies | 1:14 | Must be understood narrowly as false human-invented teaching; must NOT read as a blanket dismissal of the Puranic/devotional storytelling genre (cf. Kristapurana precedent in baseline’s inspiration-of-scripture doctrine). |
| 24 | conscience | συνείδησις | syneidēsis | मनसाक्ष | Medium | (Sound Doctrine, contrast) | 1:15 | Preferred over अंतरात्मा to avoid importing a Vedantic inner-Self/Atman association. |
| 25 | reverent (befitting holiness) | ἱεροπρεπής | hieroprepēs | पवित्रताय दाखोवपी वागणूक | High | Qualifications for Elders (older women) | 2:3 | Greek root ἱερός is itself “temple/sacred” — avoid any Konkani rendering built on a temple-ritual root; anchor to established पवित्र instead. |
| 26 | integrity (in teaching) | ἀφθορία | aphthoria | सचोटी | Medium | Sound Doctrine and Good Works | 2:7 | Avoid सात्विक/सात्विकपण (Samkhya/Gita guna-theory term). |
| 27 | slave (household, institutional sense) | δοῦλος (2:9-10 sense) | doulos | गुलाम | High | Submission to Authority | 2:9-10 | Distinguish from δοῦλος θεοῦ (1:1, honorific) and δουλεύω to passions (3:3, metaphorical); handle ancient household institution with historical/pastoral sensitivity, not as a commended ideal. |
| 28 | slave of God (honorific self-designation) | δοῦλος θεοῦ | doulos theou | देवाचो दास | High | (Apostleship-adjacent) | 1:1 | Same word-family as #27 but a distinct, honorific sense — must not be conflated. |
| 29 | enslaved (metaphorical, to sin/passions) | δουλεύω (δουλεύοντες) | douleuō | गुलाम भशेन सेवा करप | High | Universal Human Accountability (pre-conversion state) | 3:3 | Third distinct sense of the δοῦλος word-family; mark explicitly as metaphorical bondage to sin, not literal slavery. |
| 30 | master (of a household slave) | δεσπότης | despotēs | धनी | Medium | Submission to Authority | 2:9 | Must not be confused with प्रभू (Lord), reserved exclusively for Christ. |
| 31 | mercy | ἔλεος | eleos | दया | Medium-High | Salvation by Grace not Works | 3:5 | Keep distinct from established कृपा (grace) where both appear together (3:5,7): mercy = compassion toward the wretched; grace = unmerited favor as such. |
| 32 | regeneration / new birth | παλιγγενεσία | palingenesia | नवो जल्म | Critical | Regeneration by the Holy Spirit | 3:5 | HIGHEST-STAKES NEW TERM IN THIS CURRICULUM. Uses नवो (“new”) not the forbidden पुनर् (“again”) prefix, to avoid collision with the baseline’s forbidden पुनर्जन्म (reincarnation). Mandatory translator note at every occurrence distinguishing one-time Spirit-wrought new birth from the samsaric rebirth cycle. |
| 33 | renewal | ἀνακαίνωσις | anakainōsis | नवीकरण | High | Regeneration by the Holy Spirit | 3:5 | Ongoing Spirit-work, complementing (not identical to) #32’s punctiliar new birth; related to but distinct from established पवित्रीकरण (sanctification). |
| 34 | washing | λουτρόν | loutron | न्हावप/स्नान | Medium | Regeneration by the Holy Spirit | 3:5 | Baptismal-imagery term; must not be read as merely ritual bathing. |
| 35 | kindness | χρηστότης | chrēstotēs | दयाळूपण | Medium | Salvation by Grace not Works | 3:4 | Doublet with #36; keep both distinguishable in translation. |
| 36 | love for mankind / benevolence | φιλανθρωπία | philanthrōpia | मानवप्रेम | Medium | Salvation by Grace not Works | 3:4 | Doublet with #35; God’s benevolent orientation to humanity as such, not merit-based reward. |
| 37 | heir | κληρονόμος | klēronomos | वारस | Medium-High | Regeneration / Adoption (cross-ref) | 3:7 | Cross-reference explicitly with baseline’s दत्तक पुत्र करून घेणें (adoption) doctrine — full inheritance rights. |
| 38 | eternal life | ζωὴ αἰώνιος | zōē aiōnios | सार्वकालिक जिणी | Medium | Regeneration / Hope | 1:2; 3:7 | Distinguish from reincarnation-cycle “endless life across many bodies”; unending life in restored relationship with God. |
| 39 | hope | ἐλπίς | elpis | आशा | Medium | (multiple) | 1:2; 2:13; 3:7 | Must convey confident, certain expectation, not a weaker hopeful wish. |
| 40 | worldly (desires) | κοσμικός | kosmikos | जगीक | Medium | Grace Trains for Godly Living | 2:12 | Deliberately not संसारीक (samsara-cycle association). |
| 41 | desires/lusts | ἐπιθυμία | epithymia | वासना | High | Grace Trains for Godly Living / Universal Human Accountability | 2:12; 3:3 | Established Bible-tradition term but carries Hindu karmic-imprint (Vedanta/Yoga) associations; always pair with a disambiguating modifier (e.g., “जगीक वायट वासना”), following the baseline’s own precedent for देव. |
| 42 | trustworthy is the saying (formula) | Πιστὸς ὁ λόγος | pistos ho logos | हें वाक्य विश्वासाजोगें आसा | Medium | Sound Doctrine and Good Works | 3:8 | Formulaic doctrinal-summary marker; render identically at every occurrence in the curriculum. |
| 43 | rebuke/refute (context-sensitive) | ἐλέγχω | elenchō | चूक दाखोवन सुदारप | Medium | Sound Doctrine and Good Works | 1:9,13; 2:15 | Balance firmness with the letter’s invitational tone; sharper at 1:13 (ἀποτόμως, “sharply”) than at 2:15. |
| 44 | divisive/factious person | αἱρετικὸς ἄνθρωπος | hairetikos anthrōpos | फूट पाडपी मनीस | High | Avoiding Divisive Controversies | 3:10 | Root of English “heretic,” but sense here is factional-division-causing behavior; must not be weaponized against legitimate disagreement. |
| 45 | foolish controversies | ζητήσεις μωραί | zētēseis mōrai | मूर्ख वादविवाद | Medium | Avoiding Divisive Controversies | 3:9 | Core anchor phrase for this doctrine. |
| 46 | genealogies | γενεαλογίαι | genealogiai | वंशावळी | Low | Avoiding Divisive Controversies | 3:9 | |
| 47 | quarrels about the law | μάχαι νομικαί | machai nomikai | नियमांविशीं भांडणां | Medium | Avoiding Divisive Controversies | 3:9 | Rare direct echo of established नियमशास्त्र (law) root outside its usual context. |
| 48 | God who cannot lie | ἀψευδὴς θεός | apseudēs theos | खोटें कधीच न सांगपी देव | Medium | (Foundation for trustworthy-saying formula) | 1:2 | Grounds reliability of promise and of #42’s formula in God’s own character. |
| 49 | elect/chosen | ἐκλεκτός | eklektos | देवान निवडिल्लो | High | Divine Calling / Election | 1:1 | Cross-reference established देवाची निवड; contrast with नशीब/प्रारब्ध (fate/karma-destiny). |
| 50 | proclamation/preaching | κήρυγμα | kērygma | प्रचार | Medium | (Gospel-adjacent; gospel-noun absent from Titus) | 1:3 | Names the act of proclaiming, not the content-noun “gospel” (सुवार्ता); do not conflate automatically. |
C. Cross-Cutting Risk Flags for Phase 2 Review Routing
Per the doctrine-risk-registry model established in the Romans baseline, the following Titus-specific items require the stated review routing in every occurrence:
| Flag | Routing | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Christ called σωτήρ (“Savior”) in a construction paired with θεός (“God”) | Human theologian | 1:3-4; 2:10,13; 3:4,6 |
| ἐπιφάνεια/ἐπεφάνη (“appearing”) language | Human theologian | 2:11,13; 3:4 |
| παλιγγενεσία (“regeneration/new birth”) | Human theologian | 3:5 |
| Grace/good-works contrast (3:5 vs. 2:14/3:1/3:8/3:14) | Human theologian | 2:14; 3:1,5,8,14 |
| Elder/overseer qualification list, esp. “husband of one wife” | Human theologian | 1:6-9 |
| ὑποτάσσω (“submit”) across wife/slave/citizen contexts | Human theologian | 2:5,9; 3:1 |
| μῦθοι (“myths”) near the Kristapurana/Puranic-genre sensitivity | Native speaker review | 1:14 |
| αἱρετικὸς ἄνθρωπος (“divisive person”) / church discipline | Native speaker review | 3:10 |
| δοῦλος word-family across its three distinct senses | Native speaker review | 1:1; 2:9-10; 3:3 |
| σωφροσύνη word-family (sannyasa-adjacent caution) | Native speaker review | 1:8; 2:2,4,5,6,12 |
This glossary is a Phase 1 deliverable. All new-term renderings proposed in Section B are candidates for formal adoption into an updated translation_memory.json and bible_term_registry.json prior to Phase 2 segment translation, per the Translation Memory Load and Enforcement Instructions in 12_ai_translation_requirements.md.
Critical Risk Terms
Righteousness
Approved rendering: नीतिमत्ता
Transliteration: nītimattā
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: धर्म, पुण्य, न्याय
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact). Titus 3:5 explicitly denies this righteousness is ‘works done by us’ — never धर्म; render so the works-negation is unmistakable in Konkani clause structure.
Justification
Approved rendering: नीतिमान ठरवणें
Transliteration: nītimān ṭharavaṇẽ
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: क्षमा मेळप, पुण्य कमावप
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact). Titus 3:7: ‘having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs’ — preserve the full compound phrase without abbreviation.
Salvation
Approved rendering: तारण
Transliteration: tāraṇ
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: मुक्ती, मोक्ष, सुटका
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact, noun form). Titus 3:5 also uses a finite verb form (‘he saved us’); see the separate ‘saved_verb’ entry below built on the same root. NEVER मुक्त/मुक्ती/मोक्ष-family in either the noun or the verb.
Holy Spirit
Approved rendering: पवित्र आत्मा
Transliteration: pavitra ātmā
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Rejected alternatives: ब्रह्म, परमात्मा
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact). Titus 3:5: the agent of regeneration (नवो जल्म) and renewal (नवीकरण). Never ब्रह्म or परमात्मा alone.
God
Approved rendering: देव
Transliteration: dev
Doctrine: Deity of Christ as Savior Alongside God
Rejected alternatives: भगवान
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact). Titus’s own text supplies an exclusivity/greatness marker at 2:13 (‘great God,’ महान देव); preserve and lean on that built-in marker rather than adding an artificial one there, but देव must never stand doctrinally load-bearing and unmarked elsewhere in the letter (1:3-4; 2:10; 3:4).
Father
Approved rendering: पिता
Transliteration: pitā
Doctrine: Apostolic Commission and the Knowledge of Truth
Rejected alternatives: ब्रह्मा, निर्माणकार
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact). Titus 1:4 greeting.
Jesus
Approved rendering: येशू
Transliteration: yeśū
Doctrine: Deity of Christ as Savior Alongside God
Rejected alternatives: जेजू
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact). NOT जेजू (Romi Konkani Catholic spelling). Occurs throughout Titus, frequently paired with ‘Christ’ and with the title ‘Savior’ (तारणार).
Christ
Approved rendering: ख्रिस्त
Transliteration: khrist
Doctrine: Deity of Christ as Savior Alongside God
Established Devanagari Konkani/Marathi Bible transliteration standard per the baseline’s 12_ai_translation_requirements.md transliteration table; not previously a standalone Romans TM entry (Romans TM registered only ‘jesus’), but Titus’s frequent ‘Jesus Christ’ / ‘Christ Jesus’ pairing (throughout, especially 1:1,4; 2:13; 3:6) requires this as a formally tracked term for full-book consistency. Distinct from मसीहा (Messiah, the OT Jewish concept in the Romans baseline), though naming the same fulfilled promise.
Savior Title
Approved rendering: तारणार
Transliteration: tāraṇār
Doctrine: Deity of Christ as Savior Alongside God
Rejected alternatives: उद्धारक
NEW term. Built on the established तारण root (matches baseline family-consistency principle). Rejected उद्धारक as it echoes Hindi’s उद्धार, already excluded from this glossary tradition per the baseline’s note on तारण. Applied interchangeably to both God the Father (1:3; 2:10; 3:4) and Jesus Christ (1:4; 2:13; 3:6) — six occurrences across three chapters, more than any other NT letter of comparable length. Every occurrence is doctrinally load-bearing for Christ’s co-equal deity and must be flagged for theologian review, especially the Granville Sharp construction at 2:13 (‘our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ’).
Saved Verb
Approved rendering: तारलो
Transliteration: tārlo
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: मुक्त केलो, सोडवलो (salvific sense)
NEW term (verb form built on established तारण root). Renders ἔσωσεν, ‘he saved us’ (Titus 3:5), the letter’s clearest salvation statement, immediately following the works-negation clause. Inherits every restriction of तारण: NEVER मुक्त/मुक्ती/मोक्ष-family verbs.
Epiphany Appearing Verb
Approved rendering: प्रगट जालें
Transliteration: pragaṭ jālẽ
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: अवतार जालो, प्रकट जालो (deity-manifestation register)
NEW term. Renders ἐπεφάνη at Titus 2:11 and 3:4 (‘the grace/kindness of God appeared’). CRITICAL: structurally identical in narrative shape to Goan temple avatar-appearance accounts (e.g. Mahalasa Narayani’s Mohini-appearance at Mardol) — a deity ‘becoming visible’ is precisely how those narratives are told. Every occurrence requires a mandatory translator note anchoring the appearing as a unique, unrepeated, historical event (Christ’s first coming), never a recurring divine-manifestation pattern.
Epiphany Appearing Noun
Approved rendering: गौरवाचें प्रगटप
Transliteration: gauravāce pragaṭap
Doctrine: Blessed Hope: The Appearing of Christ’s Glory
Rejected alternatives: अवताराचें प्रगटप
NEW term. Renders ἐπιφάνεια at Titus 2:13, ‘the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ’ — the future, bodily, glorious return of Christ. Pairs established गौरव (glory) with प्रगटप (appearing/manifesting). Requires the same mandatory anti-avatar translator note as epiphany_appearing_verb, specifically marking this as a singular FUTURE event, not a repeatable manifestation.
Redeem
Approved rendering: सोडोवणूक करप
Transliteration: soḍovṇūk karap
Doctrine: Christian Identity as God’s Treasured Possession
Rejected alternatives: मुक्त करप
NEW term. Renders λυτρόω/λυτρώσηται (Titus 2:14). NEVER मुक्त/मुक्ती-family, forbidden per the baseline for ‘salvation’ because of the Hindu liberation-from-rebirth association. Built instead on the सुटका-family already sanctioned by the baseline for non-salvific ‘rescue.’ Must always be anchored to the price Christ paid and to freedom from lawlessness specifically, never left as generic ‘liberation.‘
Regeneration New Birth
Approved rendering: नवो जल्म
Transliteration: navo jalma
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Rejected alternatives: पुनर्जन्म, पुनरुत्पत्ती
NEW term — THE SINGLE HIGHEST-STAKES TERM this curriculum introduces beyond the Romans baseline. Renders παλιγγενεσία (Titus 3:5). Deliberately uses नवो (‘new’) rather than the forbidden पुनर् (‘again’) prefix, mirroring how the baseline distinguishes पुनरुत्थान (resurrection, ‘again-rising’) from the forbidden पुनर्जन्म (‘again-birth,’ reincarnation). ABSOLUTE, NON-NEGOTIABLE RULE: never render with any पुनर्-prefixed alternative. Every occurrence MUST carry an explicit translator note: a one-time, Spirit-wrought spiritual birth into new life in Christ, categorically NOT punarjanma/the cycle of samsaric rebirth.
High Risk Terms
Grace
Approved rendering: कृपा
Transliteration: kṛpā
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living / Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: कर्मफळ, पुण्य, नशीब
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact). In Titus, grace is personified as ‘appearing’ (2:11) and sits inside a mercy/kindness/love-for-mankind cluster (3:4-7); कृपा must stay clearly distinguished from दया (mercy), दयाळूपण (kindness), and मानवप्रेम (love for mankind). Titus 3:5’s explicit works-negation is this letter’s sharpest grace-versus-works contrast and must be flagged for theologian review at every occurrence.
Faith
Approved rendering: विश्वास
Transliteration: viśvās
Doctrine: Faith
Rejected alternatives: श्रद्धा, भक्ती
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact). Titus uses the same root for saving faith (1:1,4,13; 2:2,10; 3:8,15) and, distinctly, for a slave’s faithful/trustworthy conduct (2:10, ‘showing all good faith’); the latter sense must be flagged so translators do not read a soteriological claim into a workplace-fidelity instruction.
Holy
Approved rendering: पवित्र
Transliteration: pavitra
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: शुद्ध, निर्मळ
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact). All Titus-specific piety/purity terms (ὅσιος/देवभावाचो, ἱεροπρεπής/पवित्रताय दाखोवपी वागणूक, καθαρός/शुद्ध) are deliberately anchored back to this established term rather than to unrelated roots.
Glory
Approved rendering: गौरव
Transliteration: gaurav
Doctrine: Blessed Hope: The Appearing of Christ’s Glory
Rejected alternatives: तेज, देवीतेज
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact). Titus 2:13: object of the ‘blessed hope’; paired with the new term गौरवाचें प्रगटप (‘the appearing of glory’). Never a तेज-based light-imagery term.
Law
Approved rendering: नियमशास्त्र
Transliteration: niyamaśāstra
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Rejected alternatives: धर्म, कायदो
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact). Root reused in the new terms नियमहीनता (‘lawlessness,’ 2:14) and नियमांविशीं भांडणां (‘quarrels about the law,’ 3:9). Never धर्म.
Sin
Approved rendering: पाप
Transliteration: pāp
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Rejected alternatives: अधर्म, अशुद्धता
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact). Titus 3:11 verb form: पाप करता (‘he sins’).
Election
Approved rendering: देवाची निवड
Transliteration: devācī nivaḍ
Doctrine: Divine Calling and Election
Rejected alternatives: नशीब, प्रारब्ध
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact). Titus 1:1 introduces ἐκλεκτός (‘God’s elect’) at the letter’s very opening verse without further explanation; see cross-referenced new entry ‘elect_chosen’ below. Never नशीब/प्रारब्ध.
Sanctification
Approved rendering: पवित्रीकरण
Transliteration: pavitrīkaraṇ
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Rejected alternatives: शुद्धीकरण
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact) as a cross-reference concept. Titus 3:5’s ἀνακαίνωσις (renewal, new term नवीकरण) is ongoing Spirit-work functioning alongside, not replacing, this established doctrine; do not collapse नवीकरण and पवित्रीकरण into one term, and keep both distinct from the punctiliar नवो जल्म (new birth).
Adoption
Approved rendering: दत्तक पुत्र करून घेणें
Transliteration: dattak putra karun ghenẽ
Doctrine: Inheritance and Adoption as Heirs
Rejected alternatives: दत्तक घेणें
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact) as a cross-reference concept. Titus 3:7’s ‘heir’ (new term वारस) does not use this lexeme directly but depends on this same doctrine of full, not reduced, inheritance rights.
Covenant
Approved rendering: करार
Transliteration: karār
Doctrine: Christian Identity as God’s Treasured Possession
Rejected alternatives: समजूत
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact) as a cross-reference concept underlying Titus 2:14’s ‘treasured possession’ (new term स्वताची खाशी प्रजा), which echoes LXX covenant-possession vocabulary (Exodus 19:5) without using διαθήκη itself.
Trains Disciplines
Approved rendering: शिकोवन घडोवप
Transliteration: śikovan ghaḍovap
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: शिकवण (bare ‘teaching’ alone)
NEW term. Renders παιδεύουσα (Titus 2:12), the anchor verb for ‘Grace That Trains for Godly Living.’ Must not be reduced to mere ‘teaches’ (शिकवण alone), which loses the character-forming/disciplining nuance; grace, not the believer, is grammatically the acting subject — guard against a self-effort/karmic reading.
Godliness
Approved rendering: देवनिष्ठा
Transliteration: devaniṣṭhā
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: भक्ती
NEW term. Renders εὐσέβεια/εὐσεβῶς (Titus 1:1; 2:12). भक्ती rejected — carries the full weight of Goan Hindu devotional worship directed at specific temple deities (Shantadurga, Mangueshi, Mahalasa), the same reasoning the Romans baseline gives for rejecting भक्ती under ‘faith.’ निष्ठा (steadfast loyalty) is the chosen root instead.
Self Control
Approved rendering: संयम / संयमी / संयमान
Transliteration: sanyam / sanyamī / sanyamān
Doctrine: Self-Control and Godly Character
NEW term family. Renders σώφρων/σωφροσύνη/σωφρόνως/σωφρονίζω/σωφρονεῖν (Titus 1:8; 2:2,4,5,6,12) — Titus’s single most repeated character quality. संयम’s root is shared with सन्न्यास (sannyāsa, formal Hindu world-renouncing ascetic withdrawal). MUST be glossed at least at first occurrence per chapter as ordinary-life self-mastery (marriage, work, speech), never world-renunciation.
Sound Doctrine
Approved rendering: स्वस्थ शिकवण
Transliteration: svasth śikavaṇ
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Rejected alternatives: शुद्ध शिकवण (purity-register alternative)
NEW term. Renders ὑγιαίνουσα διδασκαλία / ὑγιαίνω (Titus 1:9,13; 2:1,2), preserving Paul’s health/‘hygiene’-root metaphor. Deliberately not a purity-based word, which could suggest ritual cleanliness rather than spiritual health/soundness.
Good Works
Approved rendering: बरीं कामां
Transliteration: barī̃ kāmā̃
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
NEW term. Renders καλὰ ἔργα / ἔργον ἀγαθόν, the single most repeated substantive phrase in Titus (1:16; 2:7,14; 3:1,8,14). MUST always be construed as the fruit of grace/regeneration (3:5), never its cause — the greatest mistranslation risk in the letter given the surrounding karma-merit worldview (पुण्य/कर्मफळ). Flag every occurrence near 3:5 for theologian review.
Treasured Possession
Approved rendering: स्वताची खाशी प्रजा
Transliteration: svatācī khāśī prajā
Doctrine: Christian Identity as God’s Treasured Possession
Rejected alternatives: खाशी मंडळी (generic ‘special group’)
NEW term. Renders λαὸς περιούσιος (Titus 2:14), echoing LXX Exodus 19:5 covenant-ownership language now applied to the church. Must retain the covenant-ownership/treasured sense; cross-reference with the baseline’s established पवित्र जन (saints).
Submission
Approved rendering: अधीन रावप
Transliteration: adhīn rāvap
Doctrine: Submission to Authority
NEW term. Renders ὑποτάσσω (Titus 2:5,9; 3:1) across three distinct relational contexts: wives to husbands, household slaves to masters, citizens to civil rulers. Must never be read as implying inferior spiritual worth, especially given Goa’s caste-stratified social history and colonial civil-rule history. Each occurrence requires a distinct explanatory clause naming the specific relationship in view, so no single context’s social weight bleeds into the others.
Husband Of One Wife
Approved rendering: एका बायलेचो घोव
Transliteration: ēkā bāylecho ghov
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
NEW term. Literal calque of μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἀνήρ (Titus 1:6), a historically debated phrase across the wider Christian interpretive tradition (polygamy, divorce/remarriage, singleness). Render literally and flag for mandatory theologian review; do NOT resolve the interpretive debate in translation.
Myths Fables
Approved rendering: दंतकथा
Transliteration: dantakathā
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
NEW term. Renders μῦθοι (Titus 1:14). Must be understood narrowly as false, human-invented teaching opposed to apostolic truth, and must NOT read as a blanket dismissal of Goa’s own respected devotional-narrative genre (the 1616 Kristapurana’s deliberate use of Puranic storytelling conventions to present the Gospel is a documented translation asset per the baseline’s inspiration-of-scripture doctrine); conflating the two would needlessly offend and undercut that precedent.
Reverent Holiness
Approved rendering: पवित्रताय दाखोवपी वागणूक
Transliteration: pavitratāy dākhovpī vāgaṇūk
Doctrine: Self-Control and Godly Character
Rejected alternatives: देवळाकडलें वागणूक (temple-like conduct)
NEW term. Renders ἱεροπρεπής (Titus 2:3), ‘reverent, befitting holiness.’ The Greek root ἱερός is itself ‘temple/sacred’; the Konkani rendering deliberately avoids any word built on a temple-ritual root, anchoring instead to established पवित्र, to prevent the phrase being read as prescribing temple-style ritual decorum rather than godly moral character.
Household Slave
Approved rendering: गुलाम
Transliteration: gulām
Doctrine: Household Relationships and the Master-Slave Instruction
NEW term. Renders δοῦλος in its literal, social-institutional sense (Titus 2:9-10), distinct from δοῦλος θεοῦ (1:1, honorific self-designation) and δουλεύω to passions (3:3, metaphorical bondage to sin). Handle with historical and pastoral sensitivity as an ancient household institution being addressed, not commended as an ideal, and be alert to resonance with Goa’s own caste-stratified social history.
Slave Of God
Approved rendering: देवाचो दास
Transliteration: devāco dās
Doctrine: Apostolic Commission and the Knowledge of Truth
NEW term. Renders δοῦλος θεοῦ (Titus 1:1), Paul’s honorific self-designation — total, voluntary belonging to and service of a master, not degrading. Must be kept distinct from the other two senses of the δοῦλος word family in this letter (household_slave, 2:9-10; enslaved_to_passions, 3:3).
Enslaved To Passions
Approved rendering: गुलाम भशेन सेवा करप
Transliteration: gulām bhaśen sevā karap
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
NEW term. Renders δουλεύω/δουλεύοντες (Titus 3:3), metaphorical bondage to sinful desires and pleasures, describing believers’ pre-conversion state. Must be clearly marked as metaphorical, distinct from Paul’s voluntary ‘slave of God’ self-designation (1:1) and the literal household-slave/master language (2:9-10).
Renewal
Approved rendering: नवीकरण
Transliteration: navīkaraṇ
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
NEW term. Renders ἀνακαίνωσις (Titus 3:5), the Spirit’s ongoing, progressive renewal, complementing the once-for-all new birth (नवो जल्म). Related to but distinct from established पवित्रीकरण (sanctification); do not collapse नवीकरण, नवो जल्म, and पवित्रीकरण into one term.
Heir
Approved rendering: वारस
Transliteration: vāras
Doctrine: Inheritance and Adoption as Heirs
NEW term. Renders κληρονόμος (Titus 3:7). Cross-reference explicitly with the baseline’s established दत्तक पुत्र करून घेणें (adoption) doctrine, which already guards against any reading implying reduced inheritance status; Konkani inheritance custom can otherwise read a declared heir as lower-status than a natural-born heir.
Desires Lusts
Approved rendering: वासना
Transliteration: vāsanā
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
NEW term. Renders ἐπιθυμία (Titus 2:12; 3:3). Established Konkani/Marathi Bible-tradition word, but also a technical term in Hindu Vedantic/Yogic psychology for latent karmic impressions carried across rebirths. Must always occur with a disambiguating modifier (e.g. ‘जगीक वायट वासना,’ worldly sinful desire), never standing bare — following the baseline’s own precedent for देव.
Divisive Person
Approved rendering: फूट पाडपी मनीस
Transliteration: phūṭ pāḍpī manīs
Doctrine: Church Discipline of Divisive Persons
NEW term. Renders αἱρετικὸς ἄνθρωπος (Titus 3:10), root of the English ‘heretic’ but here naming persistent, deliberate faction-causing behavior after repeated warning. Must not be rendered so as to justify authoritarian silencing of legitimate disagreement — a live sensitivity given Goa’s history of religiously coercive authority under the Portuguese-era Goa Inquisition (established 1560).
Elect Chosen
Approved rendering: देवान निवडिल्लो
Transliteration: devān nivaḍillo
Doctrine: Divine Calling and Election
NEW term. Renders ἐκλεκτός (Titus 1:1, ‘the faith of God’s elect’). Cross-reference established देवाची निवड; contrast sharply with नशीब/प्रारब्ध (fate/karma-determined destiny), a distinction especially necessary since this concept appears at the letter’s very opening verse without further explanation.
Medium Risk Terms
Apostle
Approved rendering: प्रेषित
Transliteration: preṣit
Doctrine: Apostolic Commission and the Knowledge of Truth
Rejected alternatives: दूत, गुरू
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact). Titus 1:1.
Peace
Approved rendering: शांती
Transliteration: śāntī
Doctrine: Peace with God
Rejected alternatives: सुख, समाधान
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact). Titus 1:4 opening greeting: ‘grace and peace.‘
Disciplined Enkrates
Approved rendering: आत्मसंयमी
Transliteration: ātmasanyamī
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
NEW term. Renders ἐγκρατής (Titus 1:8), a near-synonym of the self_control family above; same sannyasa-adjacent gloss caution applies.
Lawlessness
Approved rendering: नियमहीनता
Transliteration: niyamahīnatā
Doctrine: Christian Identity as God’s Treasured Possession
Rejected alternatives: अधर्म
NEW term. Renders ἀνομία (Titus 2:14), built on the established नियम root shared with नियमशास्त्र. Deliberately not अधर्म, which would reintroduce धर्म-family vocabulary already rejected by the baseline for ‘righteousness.‘
Rulers Authorities
Approved rendering: अधिकारी आनी सत्ताधारी
Transliteration: adhikārī āni sattādhārī
Doctrine: Submission to Authority
NEW term. Renders ἀρχαὶ καὶ ἐξουσίαι (Titus 3:1). Handle with the same care as Romans 13’s government section, given Goa’s history of contested colonial and pre-colonial rule — submission to civil authority, not endorsement of any particular political regime.
Obey Authority
Approved rendering: हुकूम मानप
Transliteration: hukūm mānap
Doctrine: Submission to Authority
NEW term. Renders πειθαρχέω (Titus 3:1).
Elder
Approved rendering: वडील
Transliteration: vaḍīl
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
NEW term. Renders πρεσβύτερος (Titus 1:5). Must be marked as a specific appointed church office (e.g. ‘मंडळींत नेमिल्लो वडील’), not merely an elderly or senior family/clan member, a natural but doctrinally imprecise reading of this warm Konkani word.
Overseer
Approved rendering: अध्यक्ष
Transliteration: adhyakṣa
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
NEW term. Renders ἐπίσκοπος (Titus 1:7), functionally synonymous with वडील in this passage. Must not suggest a separate, higher monarchical office above elder, and must not be assimilated to guru-style religious authority (per the baseline’s existing caution on ‘apostle’).
Steward
Approved rendering: कारभारी
Transliteration: kārbhārī
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
NEW term. Renders οἰκονόμος (Titus 1:7), ‘God’s household manager,’ positioning the elder as a trustee managing what belongs to God, not an owner in his own right.
Blameless
Approved rendering: निर्दोष
Transliteration: nirdoṣ
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
NEW term. Renders ἀνέγκλητος (Titus 1:6,7). A reputational, not sinless-perfection, standard.
Holy Devout
Approved rendering: देवभावाचो
Transliteration: devabhāvāco
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Rejected alternatives: धर्मीक
NEW term. Renders ὅσιος (Titus 1:8), personal piety/devoutness, distinct in nuance from ἅγιος/पवित्र. Deliberately not धर्मीक (धर्म-root, already avoided throughout this glossary tradition).
Conscience
Approved rendering: मनसाक्ष
Transliteration: manaḥsākṣa
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Rejected alternatives: अंतरात्मा
NEW term. Renders συνείδησις (Titus 1:15). Preferred over अंतरात्मा (‘inner self/soul’), which risks importing a Vedantic inner-Self (Atman) association.
Integrity Teaching
Approved rendering: सचोटी
Transliteration: sacoṭī
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Rejected alternatives: सात्विक, सात्विकपण
NEW term. Renders ἀφθορία (Titus 2:7), integrity/incorruptibility specifically in teaching. Deliberately avoids सात्विक/सात्विकपण, a term drawn from Samkhya/Bhagavad-Gita guna-theory (the ‘sattva’ quality) that would import an unrelated Hindu philosophical framework.
Master Despotes
Approved rendering: धनी
Transliteration: dhanī
Doctrine: Household Relationships and the Master-Slave Instruction
NEW term. Renders δεσπότης (Titus 2:9), a human household master. Must never be confused with or substituted for प्रभू (Lord), reserved exclusively for Christ throughout this curriculum.
Mercy
Approved rendering: दया
Transliteration: dayā
Doctrine: Mercy and Kindness of God
NEW term. Renders ἔλεος (Titus 3:5). Distinct from established कृपा (grace): ἔλεος emphasizes compassion toward the wretched/needy specifically, while grace emphasizes unmerited favor as such. Keep the two distinguishable where both occur nearby (3:5,7).
Kindness
Approved rendering: दयाळूपण
Transliteration: dayāḷūpaṇ
Doctrine: Mercy and Kindness of God
NEW term. Renders χρηστότης (Titus 3:4), part of a doublet with φιλανθρωπία (मानवप्रेम) describing God’s character that erupted into visible action at Christ’s appearing. Keep distinguishable from मानवप्रेम despite Konkani lacking two words as cleanly separated as the Greek pair.
Love For Mankind
Approved rendering: मानवप्रेम
Transliteration: mānav-prem
Doctrine: Mercy and Kindness of God
NEW term. Renders φιλανθρωπία (Titus 3:4), God’s benevolent orientation toward humanity as such, not merit-based reward. Doublet with दयाळूपण (χρηστότης).
Washing
Approved rendering: न्हावप
Transliteration: nhāvap
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
NEW term. Renders λουτρόν (Titus 3:5), the concrete image of cleansing (echoing baptism) accompanying regeneration. Must not be read as merely ritual bathing.
Eternal Life
Approved rendering: सार्वकालिक जिणी
Transliteration: sārvakālik jiṇī
Doctrine: Hope of Eternal Life
NEW term. Renders ζωὴ αἰώνιος (Titus 1:2; 3:7). Must be distinguished from a cyclical/reincarnation-adjacent notion of endless life across many bodies; this is unending life in restored relationship with God, not an endless chain of rebirths.
Hope
Approved rendering: आशा
Transliteration: āśā
Doctrine: Hope of Eternal Life
NEW term. Renders ἐλπίς (Titus 1:2; 2:13; 3:7). Must be reinforced as confident, certain expectation grounded in ‘God who never lies’ (1:2), since ordinary Konkani आशा can carry the weaker sense of a hopeful wish.
Worldly Desires
Approved rendering: जगीक
Transliteration: jagik
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: संसारीक
NEW term. Renders κοσμικός (Titus 2:12). Deliberately not संसारीक, which is built on संसार, the Hindu/Buddhist term for the cycle of worldly existence and rebirth.
Trustworthy Saying
Approved rendering: हें वाक्य विश्वासाजोगें आसा
Transliteration: hẽ vākya viśvāsājoge āsā
Doctrine: God’s Faithfulness and Truthfulness in Promise
NEW term. Fixed formula rendering Πιστὸς ὁ λόγος (Titus 3:8), a repeated Pastoral-Epistle doctrinal-summary marker. Built on established विश्वास root; must be rendered identically at every occurrence of this formula across the curriculum for consistency.
Rebuke Refute
Approved rendering: चूक दाखोवन सुदारप
Transliteration: cūk dākhovan sudārap
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
NEW term. Renders ἐλέγχω (Titus 1:9,13; 2:15). Balance firmness with the letter’s overall invitational tone; sharper at 1:13 (ἀποτόμως, ‘sharply’) than at 2:15.
Foolish Controversies
Approved rendering: मूर्ख वादविवाद
Transliteration: mūrkh vādavivād
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
NEW term. Renders ζητήσεις μωραί (Titus 3:9). Core anchor phrase for this doctrine.
Quarrels About Law
Approved rendering: नियमांविशीं भांडणां
Transliteration: niyamā̃viśī̃ bhāṇḍaṇā̃
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
NEW term. Renders μάχαι νομικαί (Titus 3:9), a rare direct echo of the established नियमशास्त्र (law) root outside its usual doctrinal context.
God Who Cannot Lie
Approved rendering: खोटें कधीच न सांगपी देव
Transliteration: khoṭẽ kadhīc na sāṅgpī dev
Doctrine: God’s Faithfulness and Truthfulness in Promise
NEW term. Renders ἀψευδὴς θεός (Titus 1:2). Grounds the reliability of God’s promise, and by extension the ‘trustworthy saying’ formula (3:8), in God’s own truthful character.
Proclamation Kerygma
Approved rendering: प्रचार
Transliteration: pracār
Doctrine: Apostolic Commission and the Knowledge of Truth
NEW term. Renders κήρυγμα (Titus 1:3). Titus never uses εὐαγγέλιον (gospel, baseline: सुवार्ता) as a noun; translators must not assume automatic equivalence — κήρυγμα names the act of proclaiming, not the content-noun ‘gospel.‘
Knowledge Of Truth
Approved rendering: सत्याचें पुराय ज्ञान
Transliteration: satyāce purāy jñān
Doctrine: Apostolic Commission and the Knowledge of Truth
NEW term. Renders ἐπίγνωσις ἀληθείας (Titus 1:1), ‘full/precise knowledge of the truth that accords with godliness.’ Foundational for the letter’s sound-doctrine and avoiding-divisive-controversies themes; contrast with μῦθοι (myths, दंतकथा).
Low Risk Terms
Exhort
Approved rendering: उत्तेजन देणें
Transliteration: uttejan denẽ
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Inherited from Romans package (translation exact). Context-sensitive across विनवणी (entreaty) and उत्तेजन देणें (encouragement); Titus 1:9; 2:6,15.
Genealogies
Approved rendering: वंशावळी
Transliteration: vanśāvaḷī
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
NEW term. Renders γενεαλογίαι (Titus 3:9).
