Passage
Romans 9
-
Glossary Term
Abba
Aramaic term of filial intimacy preserved in Romans 8:15; retain the transliteration rather than reducing it to formal पिता alone.
ROM.9.4
-
Glossary Term
Adoption
गोद लेब (the ordinary Maithili verb for 'to adopt') is understood and usable, but standing alone can imply a lesser or informal domestic arrangement; पुत्रत्व प्रदान ('granting of full sonship') foregrounds complete inheritance rights.
ROM.9.4
-
Doctrine
Adoption into God's Family
Full son-status with complete inheritance rights; guard against any reading that treats adopted children as lower-status relative to natural-born heirs, a live concern in a culture with strong lineage-inheritance customs.
ROM.9.4

Glossary Term
Called
Context-sensitive: in 1:1, called to apostleship; in 1:7, called to be saints; in 8:28-30, effectual calling to salvation.
