Covenant
Korean Christian usage already maintains a clean structural distinction unavailable in some of this pipeline’s other languages: 언약 (relational, divinely initiated covenant) is kept distinct from 계약 (gyeyak, an ordinary secular/commercial contract). This is a genuine strength of the existing Korean Bible tradition — the risk of collapsing covenant into contract, live in Japanese, is largely pre-solved here by vocabulary choice alone.
