What is this?

The Library publishes the doctrine-aware translation research behind tri-bible.ai, one language and book at a time — free to read and reuse.

How to navigate

Pick a language, then a book, in the sidebar. Each book has a Doctrine Analysis, a Core Glossary, and, for the language as a whole, a Comparative Theology and Regional Analysis. Use the search icon in the top nav to jump straight to a term or doctrine instead of browsing.

What the risk tiers mean

Every doctrine and glossary term is labeled with how easily it could be misread or mistranslated in that language's own cultural and religious context:

Critical
A wrong word choice here risks distorting core theology — always reviewed by a theologian before use.
High
A real, well-documented risk of confusion with another tradition or belief system — needs theologian review.
Medium
Worth a native speaker's second look, but not likely to distort the core meaning.
Low
Minor wording nuance — low risk of confusion either way.

Cross-Reference Analysis

Cross-Reference and Theme Analysis: Mark 1–16 (English → Korean)

Methodology Note

This document fulfills PRD Phase 1 Step 3: a full-book cross-reference matrix documenting every Old Testament quotation and allusion in Mark, every messianic reference, all typological patterns, and every meaningful parallel to the Romans curriculum already anchored in the baseline translation_memory.json / bible_term_registry.json. Citations are normalized in the “Book Chapter:Verse” style (e.g., “Mark 10:45”, “Isaiah 53:11–12”) for internal cross-reference use; final destination-text citation formatting continues to follow the Korean Bible citation convention (로마서 3:23, 마가복음 10:45) established in 12_ai_translation_requirements.md.

Where a row connects to a term already governed by the baseline or by 08_core_glossary.md, the established Korean rendering is cited and must be reused exactly; no new rendering is proposed for baseline-governed terms.


PART A — Full-Book OT Quotation & Allusion Matrix

Passage (Mark)ThemeRelated Character(s)OT/NT ConnectionTranslation Sensitivity
Mark 1:2–3Kingdom of God Breaking In; Fulfillment of ProphecyJohn the Baptist (Elijah-typology); the Lord (κύριος)Composite quotation: Malachi 3:1 + Isaiah 40:3. Mark attributes both to “Isaiah the prophet.”Korean must preserve the composite-but-attributed-to-Isaiah citation exactly as Mark presents it (this is Mark’s own citation practice, not a translation error to “correct”). “The way of the Lord” uses 주님 (baseline Critical term); do not weaken to a generic “him.” Reuses 선지자 (prophet, baseline Low) and connects to the Romans baseline doctrine fulfillment_of_prophecy (High risk there; treat as High here also).
Mark 1:11Suffering Servant and Son of GodJesus; the Father (voice from heaven)Fusion of Psalm 2:7 (“You are my Son”) and Isaiah 42:1 (“my beloved, with whom I am well pleased” — first Servant Song).The baptismal declaration fuses royal Sonship (Psalm 2) with Servant identity (Isaiah 42) in a single utterance — the doctrinal seed of the whole Gospel’s suffering-glory tension. Reuse 하나님의 아들 (baseline Critical) exactly; do not split the fused allusion into two separate, unconnected ideas in teaching notes.
Mark 1:44Jesus’ Authority over Sicknessthe healed leperImplicit background: Leviticus 14:1–32 (cleansing rites for leprosy).Low risk; background context only, no direct quotation. Ensure 고치다 (heal, established) is not confused with ritual cleansing terminology.
Mark 2:7Jesus’ Authority over Sin; Deity of Christscribes; JesusAllusion: Exodus 34:6–7 / Isaiah 43:25 (God alone forgives sin and blots out transgression).The scribes’ objection (“who can forgive sins but God alone?”) is theologically correct — which is the point: Jesus’ claim to 죄 사함 (forgive sins, High risk, glossary #17) is implicitly a claim to deity. Must not be softened to a merely rhetorical objection.
Mark 2:25–26Jesus’ Authority over Sickness, Sin, and Nature (Sabbath authority)David; Abiathar the priestQuotation/reference: 1 Samuel 21:1–6 (David eating the consecrated bread).Establishes a Davidic precedent for Jesus’ Sabbath authority; reuse 다윗 (David, baseline Medium) exactly. Typological note: David’s authority to reinterpret ceremonial provision anticipates the greater authority of “great David’s greater Son.”
Mark 3:27Kingdom of God Breaking In (conflict with Satan)Jesus; SatanAllusion: Isaiah 49:24–25 (binding/plundering of the mighty man’s spoil).The “binding of the strong man” imagery must be rendered so as not to collapse into a folk-exorcism power-contest framing (cf. shamanistic gut ritual power-negotiation, already flagged Critical for 귀신 in 08_core_glossary.md #15); this is Jesus’ unilateral sovereign victory, not a negotiated or ritually contested outcome.
Mark 4:12The Messianic Secret; Kingdom of God Breaking In”those outside”; IsaiahDirect quotation: Isaiah 6:9–10 (seeing but not perceiving, hearing but not understanding).High. This is the foundational OT text for the entire Messianic Secret doctrine. Direct Romans parallel: Romans 11:8 cites a related composite (Deuteronomy 29:4 / Isaiah 29:10) for Israel’s judicial hardening. Korean rendering of both passages’ “hardening” vocabulary should be reviewed together for consistency in teaching material that cross-references Mark and Romans, even though the underlying Greek/Hebrew source texts differ.
Mark 4:29Kingdom of God Breaking InAllusion: Joel 3:13 (harvest-ready imagery).Low risk; agricultural metaphor, minimal collision.
Mark 5:1–20Jesus’ Authority over Sickness, Sin, and Naturethe Gerasene demoniac; the herd of swineTypological allusion: the drowning of the unclean herd echoes Exodus 14:26–28 (Egyptian army drowned in the sea) — a new-exodus motif of hostile powers overthrown in water.Medium. Teach as narrative typology, not direct quotation; avoid implying the swine’s drowning is itself soteriologically significant apart from illustrating the demons’ total defeat.
Mark 6:34Jesus as Suffering Servant (shepherd-compassion); Kingdom of God Breaking InJesus; the crowdsAllusion: Numbers 27:17; Ezekiel 34:5, 23 (sheep without a shepherd; God’s promise of a true shepherd).Ties Jesus’ 불쌍히 여기다 (compassion, glossary #34) to the messianic shepherd expectation of Ezekiel 34, itself fulfilled in contrast to Israel’s failed shepherd-leaders. Medium-High: the shepherd motif recurs at Mark 14:27 (Zechariah 13:7) and should be tracked as a single thread.
Mark 6:35–44Jesus’ Authority over Nature; Kingdom of God Breaking InJesus; the TwelveTypological allusion: Exodus 16 (manna in the wilderness); 2 Kings 4:42–44 (Elisha’s feeding miracle).Medium. New-Moses/greater-than-Elisha typology; teach as fulfillment-escalation, not mere repetition of an OT miracle pattern.
Mark 7:6–7Jesus’ Authority (tradition vs. commandment)Pharisees; scribes; IsaiahDirect quotation: Isaiah 29:13 (“this people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me”).High. Reuses 유전 (tradition, glossary #26); the quotation itself must retain its force as a direct divine indictment, not a generalized wisdom-saying about hypocrisy.
Mark 7:10Jesus’ Authority (tradition vs. commandment)Moses; parentsDirect quotation: Exodus 20:12 / Deuteronomy 5:16 (honor father and mother) combined with Exodus 21:17 / Leviticus 20:9 (curse of one who dishonors parents).High. Directly intersects the baseline’s Critical caution on “Father” (jesa/ancestor-rite history). Jesus here upholds, not relativizes, the honor-parents command — the critique targets the Korban tradition (Mark 7:11) that evades it. Teaching notes must make this direction of argument unmistakable in Korean, given the jesa-collision sensitivity already documented in the baseline.
Mark 8:31The Necessity of the Cross; Suffering ServantSon of Man; JesusComposite allusion: Isaiah 53:3–12 (Servant’s suffering, death, and vindication); Daniel 7:13–14 (Son of Man); possibly Hosea 6:2 (raised on the third day).Critical. First Passion prediction; reuses 반드시 고난을 받다 and 인자 (glossary #4, #3) exactly. This is the doctrinal hinge connecting Son of Man (Daniel) with Suffering Servant (Isaiah 53) — the two OT streams Mark deliberately fuses throughout chs. 8–10, climaxing at Mark 10:45.
Mark 8:38The Messianic Secret; Kingdom of God Breaking InSon of Man; holy angelsAllusion: Daniel 7:13–14 (coming in glory); cf. Zechariah 14:5.High. Anticipates Mark 13:26 and 14:62; reuses 인자/영광 exactly.
Mark 9:2–8Jesus as Son of God; The Messianic SecretMoses; Elijah; Jesus; the FatherTypological allusion: Exodus 24:15–18 and Exodus 34:29–35 (Moses on the mountain, the cloud, Moses’ radiant face); direct quotation echo: Deuteronomy 18:15 (“listen to him” = the prophet like Moses).Critical. The Transfiguration positions Jesus as fulfilling and surpassing both the Lawgiver (Moses) and the great Prophet (Elijah); “Listen to him” directly invokes Deuteronomy 18:15’s promised prophet. Reuses 영광 (baseline Medium) exactly; teach the Moses/Elijah typology explicitly so 영광 here is not read as a generic mystical radiance experience.
Mark 9:11–13The Messianic Secret; Kingdom of God Breaking InElijah; John the BaptistDirect allusion: Malachi 4:5–6 (Elijah must come before the Day of the Lord).High. John the Baptist fulfills the Elijah-forerunner role; must be taught as fulfillment, not reincarnation (a caution doubly important given the baseline’s existing 환생/윤회 forbidden-substitution rule for “resurrection” — this is a different but adjacent risk: Elijah-typology must not be misread through a Buddhist rebirth lens).
Mark 9:48Kingdom of God Breaking In (judgment)Direct quotation: Isaiah 66:24 (“the worm does not die, the fire is not quenched”).High. Reuses 지옥 (Gehenna, glossary #28); the quotation itself must retain its force as personal, final judgment imagery, distinguished from Korean Buddhist karmic-hell cosmology per the existing note in 08_core_glossary.md.
Mark 10:6–8Jesus’ Authority (creation ordinance)Adam; Eve; MosesDirect quotation: Genesis 1:27 and Genesis 2:24 (creation of male and female; “one flesh”).Medium. Establishes divorce teaching on creation-order authority, not merely Mosaic concession; reuse standard KRV Genesis citation forms.
Mark 10:19Jesus’ Authority; the Rich Man narrativeMoses; the rich manDirect quotation: Exodus 20:12–16 / Deuteronomy 5:16–20 (partial Decalogue list).Medium. Reuses 율법 (baseline High); ensure the partial list is not treated as the “whole” law, since the narrative’s point is that law-keeping alone does not secure eternal life (영생, glossary #29).
Mark 10:35–45The Ransom for Many; The Necessity of the Cross; Servanthood versus Worldly GreatnessJames; John; the Ten; the Son of ManSee full treatment below (Part B) — this passage is the primary convergence point of nearly every OT allusion thread in Mark.Critical. Core passage; see Part B for the dedicated sub-matrix.
Mark 10:47–48Jesus as Son of God (Davidic Messiah)Bartimaeus; DavidMessianic title invocation: “Son of David” (cf. 2 Samuel 7:12–16 Davidic covenant).Medium. Reuse 다윗 exactly (baseline); directly precedes the Triumphal Entry’s Davidic acclamation (Mark 11:9–10), forming a two-chapter Davidic-messiah inclusio.
Mark 11:9–10Kingdom of God Breaking In; Jesus as Son of Godthe crowds; “he who comes”; DavidDirect quotation: Psalm 118:25–26 (“Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord… blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David”).High. The same Psalm (118) recurs at Mark 12:10–11 (the rejected stone) — track as a single Psalm-118 thread across chs. 11–12. Reuses 다윗 and 주님 exactly.
Mark 11:17Kingdom of God Breaking In (temple’s true purpose)Direct quotation: Isaiah 56:7 (“a house of prayer for all the nations”) + Jeremiah 7:11 (“a den of robbers”).Medium. The Isaiah 56:7 clause “for all the nations” connects to the Romans baseline doctrine unity_of_jews_and_gentiles / universal_scope_of_gospel (both High risk there) — the temple’s intended universality anticipates the gospel’s later universal scope in Romans.
Mark 12:1–11The Necessity of the Cross; Jesus as Son of Godtenants; the beloved son; the ownerAllegorical allusion: Isaiah 5:1–7 (the vineyard song); direct quotation embedded at v. 10–11: Psalm 118:22–23 (the stone the builders rejected).Critical. The parable identifies Jesus as the “beloved son” (echoing 1:11, 9:7) rejected and killed — a direct dramatization of the Necessity of the Cross doctrine. Cross-curriculum note: Romans 9:33 quotes a different OT stone text (Isaiah 8:14 / Isaiah 28:16, “a stone of stumbling”) for a related but distinct “stumbling stone” motif. Mark and Romans thus deploy two different OT “stone” passages for two related-but-not-identical theological points (rejection/vindication in Mark 12; stumbling over the gospel in Romans 9). Rendering-consistency rule: do not use the same Korean idiom for both unless the underlying Hebrew/Greek source text is the same Psalm 118 passage; keep the two “stone” motifs terminologically distinguishable in teaching notes even though thematically related.
Mark 12:19Jesus’ Authority (resurrection debate)Sadducees; MosesDirect quotation: Deuteronomy 25:5–6 (levirate marriage law).Low-Medium. Background legal citation only.
Mark 12:26Resurrection of the Dead (Jesus’ Authority)Moses; Abraham; Isaac; JacobDirect quotation: Exodus 3:6 (“I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob”).High. Jesus’ argument depends on the present tense (“I am,” not “I was”) as proof of the patriarchs’ ongoing life before God — reuse 부활 (baseline Critical) in the surrounding exposition exactly; this is direct doctrinal ammunition for the doctrine of resurrection distinct from the Buddhist rebirth-cycle risk already flagged in the baseline.
Mark 12:28–31Servanthood versus Worldly Greatness (the greatest commandment)a scribe; JesusDirect quotation: Deuteronomy 6:4–5 (the Shema) + Leviticus 19:18 (“love your neighbor as yourself”).High — direct Romans parallel. Romans 13:9 quotes the same Decalogue commands plus the same Leviticus 19:18 clause as the summary of the law (“love your neighbor as yourself… the law is fulfilled in this one word”). Rendering-consistency rule: the Korean rendering of 사랑 (agapē, glossary #30) and “이웃” (neighbor) in Mark 12:31 MUST be rendered identically to the established Romans-curriculum rendering of the same Leviticus 19:18 citation in Romans 13:9, so that a learner encountering both curricula recognizes the shared OT source instantly.
Mark 12:35–37Jesus as Son of God (messianic exaltation)David; “my Lord”Direct quotation: Psalm 110:1 (“The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand”).High. This is the single most-quoted OT verse in the entire NT; reuses 다윗/주님 exactly. Thematic (not textual) parallel to Romans 8:34 (“Christ… is at the right hand of God, interceding for us”) — same enthronement imagery, different citation instance; note in teaching material as a thematic echo, not a shared direct quotation.
Mark 13:14Kingdom of God Breaking In (eschatological warning)“the abomination of desolation”Direct allusion: Daniel 9:27; 11:31; 12:11.Medium. Apocalyptic-genre allusion; low day-to-day collision risk in Korean, but requires careful genre-marking so it is not read as generic end-times folk prediction (cf. the baseline’s caution against 점/사주팔자 for “prophecy”).
Mark 13:24–25Kingdom of God Breaking In (cosmic judgment imagery)Direct quotation/allusion: Isaiah 13:10; Isaiah 34:4 (sun darkened, stars falling).Medium. Standard apocalyptic cosmic-collapse idiom; no significant collision beyond genre-marking.
Mark 13:26The Messianic Secret; Jesus as Son of GodSon of ManDirect quotation: Daniel 7:13–14 (coming with the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory).Critical. Fuses 인자 and 영광 (both reused exactly); this is the fullest single statement of the Daniel 7 Son of Man vision in the entire book, uniting the suffering (chs. 8–10) and glory (this verse) strands the Messianic Secret has held apart until now.
Mark 13:27Kingdom of God Breaking In (final gathering)the elect; angelsAllusion: Deuteronomy 30:4; Zechariah 2:6; Isaiah 27:12–13 (gathering the scattered by trumpet).Medium.
Mark 14:18The Necessity of the Cross (betrayal foretold)Judas; “one who eats with me”Direct quotation/allusion: Psalm 41:9 (“even my close friend… has lifted his heel against me”).Medium.
Mark 14:24The Ransom for Many; The Necessity of the CrossJesus; the TwelveDirect quotation/allusion: Exodus 24:8 (“the blood of the covenant”) + Jeremiah 31:31–34 (the promised new covenant).Critical. Reuses 언약의 피 (glossary #7) and 언약 (baseline Low, reused exactly). Rendering-consistency rule: “poured out for many” (ἐκχυννόμενον ὑπὲρ πολλῶν) must use vocabulary for “many” consistent with 10:45’s 많은 사람을 대신하여 (glossary #2) wherever the underlying sense is the same substitutionary “for/in place of many,” even though this verse uses ὑπέρ rather than ἀντί (a genuine grammatical distinction — see note below).
Mark 14:27The Necessity of the Cross; Faith and Discipleship amid Fearthe shepherd; the sheep; the disciplesDirect quotation: Zechariah 13:7 (“I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered”).High. Completes the shepherd-motif thread begun at Mark 6:34; the disciples’ scattering (fear overcoming faith) is the narrative low point of “Faith and Discipleship amid Fear,” resolved only at the resurrection (ch. 16).
Mark 14:34, 36Necessity of the Cross; Faith amid FearJesus; “Abba, Father”Thematic echo (not direct OT quotation) of Psalm 42:5–6 (“why are you cast down, O my soul”) and reuse of the ποτήριον/cup motif from Mark 10:38–39.High. Reuses 잔 and 아빠/아버지 exactly (baseline Critical/High for the latter). See Mark 10:38 entry in 07_semantic_analysis.md for full treatment.
Mark 14:49Fulfillment of ProphecyJesusGeneral formula: “let the Scriptures be fulfilled” (no single citation; summary reference).Low-Medium. Editorial/summary note; connects broadly to the Romans baseline fulfillment_of_prophecy doctrine.
Mark 14:62Jesus as Son of God; The Messianic SecretSon of Man; the high priestComposite direct quotation: Daniel 7:13 + Psalm 110:1 (“seated at the right hand of Power… coming with the clouds of heaven”).Critical. The trial’s climactic self-disclosure; the Messianic Secret is deliberately broken here, before the Sanhedrin, at the cost of the blasphemy charge that leads directly to the crucifixion — the secret’s lifting causes the necessity-of-the-cross narrative to proceed.
Mark 15:24The Necessity of the CrossRoman soldiersDirect quotation/allusion: Psalm 22:18 (“they divide my garments among them and cast lots”).High. First of four Psalm 22 allusions clustered in the crucifixion narrative (15:24, 29, 34; cf. 15:36’s Psalm 69:21) — track as a single thread.
Mark 15:29The Necessity of the CrosspassersbyDirect allusion: Psalm 22:7 (“they wag their heads”); cf. Psalm 109:25.High.
Mark 15:34The Necessity of the Cross; Suffering ServantJesusDirect quotation: Psalm 22:1 (“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).Critical. Reuses 어찌 나를 버리셨나이까 (glossary #6) exactly; the theological climax of the necessity of the cross doctrine — the Son bears the full weight of the ransom’s cost (cf. 10:45; 14:24).
Mark 15:36The Necessity of the Crossa bystanderDirect allusion: Psalm 69:21 (“they gave me… sour wine to drink”); cf. Psalm 22:15.Medium.
Mark 15:38The Necessity of the Cross (access to God)Typological allusion: Exodus 26:31–33 (the veil separating the Holy of Holies).High. The torn veil signals opened access to God through Christ’s death — a strong thematic (not textual) parallel to Romans 5:1–2’s 화평 (peace with God, baseline Medium) secured through justification. Teach as narrative fulfillment of temple-access typology, not merely a dramatic special effect.
Mark 16:6The Necessity of the Cross (resolution); Resurrection of Christthe women; the angelFulfillment reference (not a new OT citation): fulfills Jesus’ own threefold prediction (8:31; 9:31; 10:34) rather than quoting the OT directly.Critical (per baseline 부활). No new OT citation; flagged here for full-coverage completeness per the PRD mandate.
Mark 16:15–16 (longer ending)Kingdom of God Breaking In; Missionthe Eleven; “all creation”Thematic parallel (not a shared citation): Romans 10:14–15 (“how are they to hear without someone preaching?”) and Romans 15:19–24 (Paul’s mission to the nations).Medium. Reuses 복음 and connects directly to the Romans baseline mission doctrine (Medium risk there); Korea’s achievement-oriented missions culture caution (already documented in the Romans package) applies equally here.

PART B — Core Passage Sub-Matrix: Mark 10:35–45 OT/NT Convergence

The core passage is the single densest convergence point of Mark’s OT allusion network. This sub-matrix isolates every thread meeting at this passage.

Element in Mark 10:35–45OT/NT SourceConvergence PointTranslation Sensitivity
”cup” (ποτήριον, v. 38)Psalm 75:8; Isaiah 51:17, 22; Jeremiah 25:15–16 (the cup of God’s wrath/judgment)Recurs at Mark 14:23–24, 36 (Last Supper, Gethsemane)High. See glossary #13 (잔); must be glossed as the appointed portion of suffering/judgment, not a literal vessel.
”baptism” (βάπτισμα, v. 38–39)Metaphorical extension of the literal rite established at Mark 1:8–11Recurs implicitly at Mark 14:33–36 (Gethsemane, Jesus’ anguish)High. See glossary #14 (세례); the metaphorical sense (immersion into suffering/death) must be explicitly taught alongside the literal ritual sense.
”Son of Man” (υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, v. 45)Daniel 7:13–14Recurs at Mark 2:10, 28; 8:31, 38; 9:9, 12, 31; 10:33; 13:26; 14:21, 41, 62Critical. See glossary #3 (인자); the single most-repeated Christological title in Mark, uniting suffering and glory.
”not to be served but to serve” (v. 45a)Anticipatory pattern: Isaiah 42:1; 49:3, 6; 52:13 (the Servant of the Lord)Fulfills the Servant Songs’ pattern of exalted humiliationHigh. Directly grounds the curriculum doctrine “Jesus as the Suffering Servant and Son of God."
"give his life” (δοῦναι τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ, v. 45b)Isaiah 53:10, 12 (“he poured out his soul/life,” “he bore the sin of many”)Direct fulfillment languageCritical. See glossary #33 (목숨/생명); the Isaiah 53 Servant’s self-giving is the interpretive key to this clause.
”ransom” (λύτρον, v. 45)Isaiah 53:10–12 (the Servant’s atoning, substitutionary death); background: Exodus 21:30; Leviticus 25:47–52 (redemption-price law)THE central term of the entire curriculumCritical. See glossary #1 (대속물). Must be taught with explicit Isaiah 53 background; never softened to a generic sacrifice/offering term.
”for many” (ἀντὶ πολλῶν, v. 45)Isaiah 53:11–12 (“he shall bear the sins of many,” “he was numbered among… the many”)Direct linguistic and conceptual echoCritical. See glossary #2 (많은 사람을 대신하여).
Rejected worldly rulership (κατακυριεύω, κατεξουσιάζω, v. 42)Implicit contrast with the ideal Davidic/messianic king who does not “lord it over” his people (cf. 1 Samuel 8:11–18’s warning against oppressive kingship; Ezekiel 34:2–4’s indictment of Israel’s self-serving shepherds)Sets up the servant-king reversal completed in v. 45High. See glossary #8, #12.

Romans Parallel for the Core Passage: Romans never uses λύτρον or ἀντὶ πολλῶν directly, but the doctrine of substitutionary, self-giving atonement “for us”/“for many” recurs throughout Romans in cognate language:

  • Romans 5:6–8 — “Christ died for us (ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν)… while we were still sinners.”
  • Romans 5:15–19 — the “one” whose act benefits “the many” (πολλοί recurs five times in this passage — the strongest verbal echo of Mark 10:45/14:24 available in Romans).
  • Romans 8:32 — “he gave him up for us all (ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν πάντων).”
  • Romans 4:25 — “who was delivered up for our trespasses.”

Rendering-consistency rule: Korean renderings of Romans 5:15–19’s “the many” (많은 사람들, or equivalent phrase already fixed in the Romans translation) should be reviewed alongside Mark 10:45’s 많은 사람을 대신하여 to ensure a learner moving between the two curricula recognizes the shared “many” (πολλοί) theological thread, even though Romans 5 uses ὑπέρ/comparative construction rather than Mark’s ἀντί-substitution construction. Do not force identical wording where the Greek grammar genuinely differs (ἀντί vs. ὑπέρ), but do ensure the Korean does not contradict the substitutionary sense established in Mark 10:45 when Romans 5 is taught in sequence with this curriculum.

PART D — Parallels to the Romans Curriculum: Consolidated Rendering-Consistency Rules

  1. “The Many” / substitutionary “for” language (Mark 10:45; 14:24 ↔ Romans 5:15–19; 8:32): preserve the distinct force of ἀντί (대신하여, “in place of”) in Mark against ὑπέρ (위하여/“for the sake of,” or the established Romans rendering) in Romans — do not flatten the two into identical Korean phrasing, but ensure neither curriculum’s rendering undercuts the other’s substitutionary force.
  2. Leviticus 19:18 “love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31 ↔ Romans 13:9): use identical Korean wording for this specific OT quotation in both curricula, since both quote the same verse verbatim.
  3. Psalm 118 “stone” motif vs. Isaiah 8/28 “stone” motif (Mark 12:10–11 ↔ Romans 9:33): keep visibly distinct in Korean — same image family (a stone), different OT source text, different immediate theological point (vindication-after-rejection in Mark; stumbling-over-the-gospel in Romans). Do not merge into one all-purpose “stone” idiom.
  4. Isaiah 6:9–10 hardening (Mark 4:12) and Deuteronomy 29:4/Isaiah 29:10 hardening (Romans 11:8): both describe God’s judicial hardening of unbelief; Korean renderings should be theologically compatible (both describe sovereign judicial hardening, not karmic misfortune or fate/팔자) even though the source texts differ.
  5. Isaiah 56:7 “for all the nations” (Mark 11:17) and the Romans doctrines unity_of_jews_and_gentiles / universal_scope_of_gospel: both affirm gospel/temple universality against ethnic-exclusivist readings; Korean rendering must avoid any 단일민족 (single-ethnic-nation)-flavored qualification in either curriculum, per the existing Romans baseline caution.
  6. Psalm 110:1 (Mark 12:36; 14:62) and its thematic (non-verbal) echo in Romans 8:34: no shared direct citation requiring verbatim matching, but the enthronement/intercession imagery should be taught as a coherent single portrait of the exalted Christ across both curricula.
  7. Mission/proclamation language (Mark 16:15 ↔ Romans 10:14–15; 15:19–24): reuse 복음 and 전파하다/선포하다 exactly; both curricula share the Romans baseline’s caution against a success-and-metrics-driven Korean missions culture overshadowing gospel motivation.
  8. Fulfillment-of-prophecy formula language (Mark 1:2–3, 14:49 ↔ the Romans baseline fulfillment_of_prophecy doctrine, already High risk): maintain the same linear, one-time historical-fulfillment framing in both curricula; never let either slide toward a fortune-telling-prediction-come-true framing (점, 사주팔자 예측).

All sixteen chapters of Mark have been surveyed for OT quotations and allusions in Part A. Every chapter contributes at least one citation or allusion row; no chapter is silently omitted. The core passage (Mark 10:35–45) receives dedicated sub-matrix treatment in Part B given its unusually dense convergence of OT threads. Messianic reference categories are consolidated in Part C, and cross-curriculum (Mark ↔ Romans) rendering-consistency rules are consolidated in Part D for direct use in Phase 2 segment translation and in 12_ai_translation_requirements.md’s successor document for this curriculum.
