Cross-Reference Analysis
Cross-Reference and Theme Analysis — Titus (English → Malay)
Purpose
This document maps every Old Testament quotation, allusion, and typological echo in Titus, chapter by chapter (1:1–16; 2:1–15; 3:1–15), together with every messianic reference, every parallel to other New Testament curricula in this Language Package (especially Romans, the baseline curriculum, and other tagged books — Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Peter, 1–2 Timothy, Acts, Galatians), and the pagan-literary citation in 1:12. Citations are given in normalizable form (e.g., “Titus 2:14”, “Genesis 15:6”, “Ezekiel 36:25-27”) for programmatic cross-referencing in Phase 2. Malay renderings referenced below reuse the baseline translation_memory.json exactly where applicable and the new terms established in 08_core_glossary.md where Titus introduces new vocabulary.
Every chapter of Titus is represented. Where a section of the letter (e.g., personal greetings, 3:12-15) contains no doctrinally load-bearing OT or messianic connection, it is included here explicitly as reviewed — low/no cross-reference content rather than silently omitted, per the full-book coverage mandate.
Part A: OT Quotations, Allusions, and Background — Chapter by Chapter
| Passage (Titus) | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Titus 1:1 | Apostleship / Servanthood | Paul (author); OT servant tradition | Deuteronomy 34:5 (Moses “the servant of the LORD”); Psalm 89:3 (David, God’s servant); Isaiah 42:1, 49:3 (Servant Songs). NT: Romans 1:1 (δοῦλος Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ); James 1:1; 2 Peter 1:1 | High. Hamba Allah overlaps with a common, everyday Islamic self-designation (cf. names built on ‘Abdullah, “servant of Allah”). Teach as a specific covenant-office/apostolic self-designation, not generic creaturely submission, consistent with Romans 1:1’s parallel usage. |
| Titus 1:1 | Effectual Calling / Election | Corporate — “God’s elect” | Deuteronomy 7:6-8 (Israel chosen); Isaiah 45:4 (“for the sake of my chosen”). NT: Romans 8:33; Romans 9:11; Ephesians 1:4 | High. Reuse baseline Pilihan Allah exactly; avoid takdir, consistent with the Romans baseline’s Effectual Calling entry. |
| Titus 1:2 | God’s Truthfulness / Providence | God | Numbers 23:19 (“God is not man, that he should lie”); 1 Samuel 15:29. NT: Hebrews 6:18 (“impossible for God to lie”) | Medium. A genuine point of shared ground — Islamic theology also affirms God cannot lie. Useful bridge; teach as common confidence rather than treating as a collision risk. |
| Titus 1:2 | Providence / Eternal Plan | God | Proverbs 8:22-23 (Wisdom appointed before the world, background typology); Psalm 90:2. NT: Ephesians 1:4; 2 Timothy 1:9 | Medium. Reinforces the non-contingent, pre-temporal nature of God’s saving plan; connects to the baseline’s Providence doctrine (Pemeliharaan Allah), though the direct Titus term here is temporal (“before the ages”) rather than the Romans 8:28 “all things work together” formula. |
| Titus 1:3 | Revelation / Appearing motif (precursor) | God; Paul as preacher | General revelation background, cf. Isaiah 52:6. NT: directly anticipates Titus 2:11, 2:13, 3:4 (epiphaneia family); parallel verb-family use in 2 Timothy 1:10 (“manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus”) | Critical. Must use the same Malay verbal root (dinyatakan) as the later epiphaneia occurrences so the letter’s structuring pattern remains visible; cross-reference rule with 2 Timothy 1:10 if that curriculum is translated. |
| Titus 1:5-9 | Qualifications for Elders | Titus; elders/overseers | Exodus 18:21 (Jethro’s counsel — qualified men to judge); Numbers 11:16-17 (seventy elders); Deuteronomy 1:13. NT: 1 Timothy 3:1-7 (near-identical qualifications list); Acts 14:23; Acts 20:17-28 (elders = overseers, same office) | Medium. Render Penatua/Penyelia consistently; flag for cross-curriculum consistency check against 1 Timothy 3 when that book is translated in this Language Package. |
| Titus 1:6 | Elder Qualifications / Marriage | Elder candidates | Genesis 2:24 (one-flesh marriage pattern); Leviticus 21:13-14 (priestly marriage restriction, typological background for restricted-qualification categories); Deuteronomy 17:17 (kings not to multiply wives, contrast). NT: 1 Timothy 3:2, 3:12 | High. Already flagged in 08_core_glossary.md; intersects with Malaysia’s Syariah-permitted polygamy for Muslim men. Strictly a church-office qualification, not commentary on that parallel civil-religious provision. |
| Titus 1:10 | Avoiding Divisive Controversies (background) | “Those of the circumcision party” (unnamed Judaizing teachers) | Genesis 17:10-14 (circumcision as the Abrahamic covenant sign). NT: Galatians 2:11-12; Galatians 5:2-6; Acts 15:1; Philippians 3:2-3; Colossians 2:11; Romans 2:25-29; Romans 4:9-12 | Medium. Requires brief historical framing (first-century Judaizing faction insisting law-observance is necessary for salvation) so Malay readers do not read this as a general comment on circumcision/khitan practice. |
| Titus 1:12 | Sound Doctrine / Cultural Discernment | Unnamed Cretan prophet (tradition: Epimenides of Knossos) | Not an OT citation — a pagan Greek literary source, quoted approvingly. Parallel citation practice: Acts 17:28 (Paul quotes Epimenides and Aratus at the Areopagus); 1 Corinthians 15:33 (quoting Menander’s comedy) | Medium. See Part D below for full treatment. Requires a cultural-literary framing note distinguishing an approved rhetorical citation from an independent ethnic generalization by Paul himself. |
| Titus 1:14 | Avoiding Divisive Controversies | False teachers | No direct OT text; general background = post-exilic Jewish speculative legendary material. NT: 1 Timothy 1:4 (“myths and endless genealogies”); 1 Timothy 4:7; 2 Timothy 4:4; 2 Peter 1:16 (“cleverly devised myths”) | Medium. Render dongeng consistently; cross-reference rule with 1 Timothy 1:4/4:7 and 2 Timothy 4:4 for cross-curriculum harmonization. |
| Titus 1:15 | Sound Doctrine and Good Works (inner vs. ritual purity) | False teachers (contrast) | Isaiah 1:11-17 (ritual without righteousness); Psalm 51:6-10 (inner purity); Micah 6:6-8. NT: Mark 7:14-23 (Jesus on inner defilement); Romans 14:14, 14:20 (“nothing is unclean in itself”); 1 Timothy 4:3-5 | High. A deliberate teaching opportunity: cross-reference explicitly to Romans 14:14/14:20 (already in the baseline curriculum) so learners see this is the same anti-ritualism doctrine taught in both letters. |
| Titus 1:16 | Sound Doctrine and Good Works (negative bookend) | False teachers | Isaiah 29:13 (“this people honors me with their lips…”). NT: Matthew 15:8-9 (Jesus quoting Isaiah 29:13 directly); 1 John 2:4; James 2:14-26 | High. Anticipates 3:5-8’s resolution; must be taught as evidence-of-genuineness language, never a works-based salvation test — consistent with the Romans/James balance already assumed in the baseline curriculum. |
| Titus 2:1-10 | Sound Doctrine and Good Works / Household Order | Older men, older women, younger women, younger men, slaves | Household/family ethical instruction assumed throughout OT wisdom literature (e.g., Proverbs 31). NT: Ephesians 5:22-6:9; Colossians 3:18-4:1; 1 Peter 2:18-3:7 (same household-code genre) | Medium. Recommend consistent Malay rendering of household-code vocabulary across Ephesians, Colossians, and 1 Peter curricula when those are translated, since this is a recognized shared NT genre. |
| Titus 2:5 | Sound Doctrine and Good Works / Gospel’s Public Reputation | Younger women; the church generally | Isaiah 52:5 / Ezekiel 36:20 (“my name is blasphemed among the nations because of you”). NT: Romans 2:24 (Paul directly quotes Isaiah 52:5 with near-identical wording and argument); 1 Timothy 6:1; 1 Peter 2:12 | High — direct cross-curriculum rendering-consistency case. The Malay vocabulary for “the word of God reviled/blasphemed” here should be cognate with however Romans 2:24’s “the name of God is blasphemed” is rendered, so the shared Isaiah 52:5 echo remains visible to learners moving between curricula. |
| Titus 2:11 | Grace That Trains / Epiphaneia (1st occurrence) | God; grace personified | Theophany/glory-manifestation tradition: Exodus 40:34-38; Isaiah 60:1-3 (“Arise, shine, for your light has come”). NT: Luke 2:11; John 1:14; 2 Timothy 1:10 | Critical. See 07_semantic_analysis.md; consistency required with Titus 1:3, 2:13, and 3:4. |
| Titus 2:12 | Grace That Trains for Godly Living | Believers (all age/social groups addressed in ch.2) | Deuteronomy 8:5 (“the LORD your God disciplines you as a man disciplines his son”); Proverbs 3:11-12. NT: Hebrews 12:5-11 (Father’s fatherly discipline); Ephesians 2:10 (good works prepared beforehand, as fruit-not-ground parallel) | High. Reuse Mendidik per glossary; the Deuteronomy 8:5/Hebrews 12 fatherly-discipline typology is a useful, non-collision teaching anchor distinct from the risky tarbiyah association. |
| Titus 2:13 | Deity of Christ / Messianic Promise (Granville Sharp construction) | Jesus Christ | Isaiah 9:6 (“Mighty God”); Isaiah 40:3-5 (“the glory of the LORD shall be revealed”); Daniel 7:13-14 (the Son of Man given everlasting glory and dominion); Psalm 24:7-10 (“King of glory”). NT: Romans 9:5 (“Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever”); 2 Peter 1:1 (identical Granville Sharp construction, “our God and Savior Jesus Christ”); John 1:1; John 20:28 | Critical. Direct extension of the Deity of Christ / Sonship of Christ doctrines already flagged Critical in the Romans baseline (Romans 9:5). Mandatory rendering-consistency rule: the single-referent apposition preserved in Titus 2:13 must match the syntactic strategy used for Romans 9:5, and (if translated) 2 Peter 1:1. |
| Titus 2:14 | Salvation by Grace not Works / Redemption | Christ; believers | Psalm 130:8 (“he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities”); Exodus 19:5-6 (Exodus-redemption background type); Ezekiel 37:23. NT: Galatians 1:4 (“gave himself for our sins to deliver us”); Mark 10:45 (“a ransom for many”); Ephesians 5:25-26 | Critical. Passover/Exodus redemption typology underlies Penebusan; no parallel substitutionary-ransom concept exists in Islamic soteriology, which denies the atoning death itself (cf. baseline Resurrection of Christ note on Qur’an 4:157). |
| Titus 2:14 | Church as God’s People (covenant continuity) | The church, as heir of Israel’s identity | Exodus 19:5 (“you shall be my treasured possession,” LXX λαὸς περιούσιος); Deuteronomy 7:6; Deuteronomy 14:2; Deuteronomy 26:18; Psalm 135:4. NT: 1 Peter 2:9 (“a people for his own possession” — the identical LXX phrase applied to the NT church) | Medium — direct cross-curriculum rendering-consistency case. Titus 2:14 and 1 Peter 2:9 share the identical Greek phrase; umat kepunyaan-Nya sendiri should be used identically in both if 1 Peter is translated in this Language Package (already tagged). |
| Titus 2:14 | Sound Doctrine and Good Works | Believers | Psalm 119:4 (“you have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently”); Deuteronomy 26:18-19. NT: Ephesians 2:10; James 2:18 | Critical. See “Good Works” glossary entry; part of the letter’s works/grace inclusio. |
| Titus 3:1 | Submission to Authority | Believers; civil rulers | Jeremiah 29:7 (“seek the welfare of the city”); Proverbs 24:21 (“fear the LORD and the king”); Daniel 2:21 (God removes and sets up kings) | Critical — direct cross-curriculum rendering-consistency case. Romans 13:1-7 is the extensive, developed parallel treatment of the same doctrine. The Malay rendering of “rulers and authorities” (pemerintah dan pihak berkuasa) and “submit” (tunduk kepada) must match Romans 13:1-7 exactly; the Malaysia-specific civil/Syariah dual-jurisdiction caution already documented for Romans 13:1-7 in the baseline applies identically here, and should not be re-derived independently. |
| Titus 3:3 | Universal Human Accountability | Believers, describing their own pre-conversion state | Psalm 14:1-3 / Psalm 53:1-3 (“there is none who does good”); Psalm 51:5; Isaiah 53:6 (“all we like sheep have gone astray”); Ecclesiastes 7:20. NT: Romans 3:10-12 (direct quotation of Psalm 14/53 — “none is righteous, no, not one”); Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:1-3 (“once… following the passions of our flesh”); 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (“such were some of you”) | High — direct cross-curriculum rendering-consistency case. Titus 3:3’s autobiographical vice list should echo the same Malay vocabulary register already used for Romans 3:10-18 and Ephesians 2:1-3 (dosa / tidak taat / disesatkan family), so the doctrine of universal accountability is recognized as one consistent teaching across letters, not three separate claims. |
| Titus 3:4 | Epiphaneia motif (3rd occurrence) / Salvation | God our Savior | Exodus 34:6 (“the LORD… merciful and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love”); Psalm 145:8-9; Jonah 4:2 (God’s compassion extended to Nineveh, a Gentile city — relevant to the universal-scope theme). NT: Romans 2:4 (“God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance”); Ephesians 2:7 | Critical. Must share the same verbal root as Titus 1:3, 2:11, and 2:13. |
| Titus 3:5 | Salvation by Grace not Works | Believers | Deuteronomy 9:4-6 (“Not because of your righteousness… but because of the wickedness of these nations”); Isaiah 64:6 (“all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment”). NT: Romans 3:20, 28 (“no one will be justified by works of the law”); Romans 4:4-5 (“to the one who does not work but believes… counted as righteousness,” citing Genesis 15:6); Romans 9:11-12; Ephesians 2:8-9; 2 Timothy 1:9 | Critical — the single most direct cross-reference to the Romans curriculum’s central doctrine. Mandatory rendering-consistency rule: “bukan kerana perbuatan-perbuatan benar yang telah kita lakukan” must track identically with the works-exclusion logic already established for Romans 3:20/28, 4:4-5, and Ephesians 2:8-9, reusing Kebenaran and Kasih kurnia exactly as recorded in the baseline. |
| Titus 3:5 | Regeneration by the Holy Spirit | Holy Spirit; believers | Ezekiel 36:25-27 (“I will sprinkle clean water on you… I will give you a new heart and a new spirit… I will put my Spirit within you”) — the clearest direct OT type/prophecy behind this verse; Ezekiel 37:1-14 (valley of dry bones, resurrection-life by the Spirit, broader typological resonance); flood typology (Genesis 6-9, explicitly linked by 1 Peter 3:20-21); Numbers 19:17-19 (water of purification, ritual type this fulfills and transcends). NT: John 3:5 (“born of water and the Spirit”); 1 Peter 1:3, 1:23; Romans 6:4 | Critical. Ezekiel 36:25-27 is the load-bearing OT type and should be explicitly cited in teaching material every time this verse is taught, giving Malay readers a concrete OT anchor for Spirit-wrought new birth — a doctrine with no equivalent in Islamic anthropology (cf. baseline caution on fitrah). |
| Titus 3:6 | Regeneration by the Holy Spirit / Trinitarian Cooperation | Father, Son, Holy Spirit | Joel 2:28-29 (“I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh”); Isaiah 44:3; Ezekiel 39:29. NT: Acts 2:17-18 (Peter’s direct quotation/fulfillment of Joel 2:28-29 at Pentecost); Romans 5:5 (“God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit”) | Critical — direct cross-curriculum rendering-consistency case. “Dicurahkan” (“poured out”) should match however Acts 2:17-18’s citation of Joel is rendered when Acts is translated in this Language Package (already tagged), preserving the visible Pentecost echo. |
| Titus 3:7 | Justification / Adoption synthesis | Believers, as heirs | Genesis 15:6 (“Abraham believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness” — the OT anchor text for imputed righteousness underlying both Romans 4 and Titus 3:7); Genesis 17:7-8 (inheritance promise to Abraham’s offspring). NT: Romans 4:3, 4:9, 4:22 (all directly quoting Genesis 15:6); Romans 8:17 (“heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ”); Galatians 3:29; Galatians 4:7 | Critical. Diperbenarkan must render identically to Romans 3:24/5:1 usage per the baseline’s cross-document consistency rule; waris should be taught alongside Romans 8:17’s fellow-heirs language and the baseline’s imputed_righteousness entry. |
| Titus 3:9 | Avoiding Divisive Controversies | Believers; false teachers | No single OT quotation; the phenomenon of speculative genealogical argumentation draws on genealogical material such as 1 Chronicles 1-9. NT: 1 Timothy 1:4 (“myths and endless genealogies”); 1 Timothy 6:4; 2 Timothy 2:23 | Medium-High. Recommend rendering-consistency with 1 Timothy 1:4 (both use genealogia); never render “law” here as Syariah, per the baseline’s existing caution for Hukum Taurat. |
| Titus 3:10 | Avoiding Divisive Controversies / Church Discipline | ”A divisive person” | Deuteronomy 19:15 (two-or-three-witness principle, background for a formal warning process); Deuteronomy 13:1-5 (dealing with those who lead Israel astray). NT: Matthew 18:15-17 (Jesus’ church-discipline procedure); Romans 16:17 (“watch out for those who cause divisions”); 2 Thessalonians 3:14-15; 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 | Critical. Per the glossary, must not be rendered bidaah or sesat/ajaran sesat. Rendering-consistency rule with Romans 16:17 and Matthew 18:15-17 recommended so this is recognized as one consistent NT church-discipline pattern, not a novel or legally-loaded category. |
| Titus 3:12-13 | Christian Fellowship / Gospel Partnership | Artemas, Tychicus, Zenas, Apollos | No OT connection. NT: parallels other epistolary closings naming co-workers — Romans 16; Colossians 4:7-17; 2 Timothy 4:9-21. Tychicus also named in Ephesians 6:21, Colossians 4:7, 2 Timothy 4:12 | Low. Reviewed — proper-name consistency (Tychicus/Tikhikus, Apollos/Apolos) flagged for cross-document harmonization when those curricula are translated; no doctrinal risk. |
| Titus 3:14 | Sound Doctrine and Good Works (final occurrence) | Believers | Psalm 1:3 (the fruitful tree); Isaiah 5:1-7 (the vineyard expected to bear fruit). NT: Matthew 7:16-20 (“you will recognize them by their fruits”); John 15:1-8; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 2:10 | Medium. Ties good works to the broader biblical fruitfulness motif; reviewed, no new rendering risk beyond the existing “Good Works” entry. |
| Titus 3:15 | Grace (closing benediction) | Paul; recipients | NT: parallels every Pauline closing benediction — Romans 16:20, 24; 2 Timothy 4:22 | High — reuse, no deviation. Render identically to the baseline: Kasih kurnia menyertai kamu semua. |
Part B: Messianic References and Christological Typology (Consolidated)
| Passage (Titus) | Messianic/Typological Content | OT Root | Doctrine Link | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Titus 1:2-3 | Eternal, pre-temporal promise of life, historically manifested in time | Proverbs 8:22-23 (Wisdom before creation, typological background); the general prophetic pattern of promise-then-fulfillment | Messianic Promise; Providence | Medium. Establishes the letter’s promise-fulfillment frame before the epiphaneia motif begins. |
| Titus 2:13 | ”Our great God and Savior Jesus Christ” — single-referent apposition (Granville Sharp) | Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 40:3-5; Daniel 7:13-14; Psalm 24:7-10 | Deity of Christ; Sonship of Christ | Critical. The clearest messianic-deity claim in Titus; must be cross-referenced with Romans 9:5 for rendering consistency. |
| Titus 2:14 | Christ’s self-giving, ransoming death establishing a covenant people | Exodus 19:5-6 (Sinai covenant-people formation); Psalm 130:8 (redemption from iniquity) | Salvation by Grace not Works; Redemption | Critical. Passover/Exodus redemption typology; direct point of difference from Qur’an 4:157’s denial of the crucifixion. |
| Titus 3:4-6 | The Trinitarian shape of salvation: God’s kindness appears (3:4), he saves through Spirit-wrought regeneration (3:5), poured out through Jesus Christ our Savior (3:6) | Ezekiel 36:25-27; Joel 2:28-29 | Regeneration by the Holy Spirit; implicit Trinitarian cooperation | Critical. The Father-Spirit-Son cooperative structure of this passage is a direct, concentrated collision point with tawhid; must be taught explicitly, not smoothed over in translation. |
| Titus 1:4; 2:10; 3:4; 3:6 | ”Savior” (σωτήρ) applied identically to both God the Father and Jesus Christ within one short letter | Isaiah 43:11 (“I, I am the LORD, and besides me there is no savior”); Isaiah 45:21; Hosea 13:4 | Deity of Christ | Critical. The OT background makes “Savior” an exclusive divine title (no savior besides YHWH). Applying it identically to Jesus Christ is a direct, load-bearing deity-of-Christ argument that must not be diluted by using a lesser or ambiguous Malay term for either occurrence; both must use Juruselamat. |
| Titus 3:7 | ”Heirs according to the hope of eternal life” | Genesis 15:6; Genesis 17:7-8 | Adoption into God’s Family; Justification | Critical. Direct extension of Romans 4 and Romans 8:17; render consistently. |
Part C: Pagan/Literary Citation — Titus 1:12 (Special Note)
Titus 1:12 quotes a Cretan poet-prophet (identified by early Christian tradition as Epimenides of Knossos, 6th century BC): “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” This is not an OT quotation but a citation of a respected pagan literary/philosophical source, quoted approvingly by Paul as supporting testimony (“this testimony is true,” v.13).
- Parallel citation practice: Acts 17:28 (Paul quotes Epimenides and the poet Aratus at the Areopagus in Athens); 1 Corinthians 15:33 (Paul quotes the comic playwright Menander, “bad company ruins good morals”).
- Translation sensitivity: Medium. Malay teaching material must make clear that Paul is citing a known non-biblical source as rhetorically useful supporting testimony about the Cretans’ own reputation among themselves — a recognized apologetic technique used elsewhere in Acts and 1 Corinthians — rather than presenting this as Paul’s own independent ethnic judgment, or as Scripture endorsing the entirety of Epimenides’ theological views (Epimenides’ broader poem, ironically, contained the very “Cretans are liars” paradox because it claimed Zeus was immortal, contradicting a local Cretan claim that Zeus had a grave on Crete — worth a brief cultural-literary footnote in teaching material but not required in the translated text itself).
- Flag for native speaker review to confirm the quotation marker/framing register in Malay clearly signals citation rather than authorial assertion.
Part D: Rendering-Consistency Rules for Shared Quotations (Master List)
The following rules govern any Phase 2 segment where Titus and another curriculum in this Language Package (especially Romans) render the same underlying Greek/OT source. These rules must be loaded alongside translation_memory.json whenever Titus segments are processed, and cross-checked against the corresponding Romans segment cache if both curricula are being translated in the same project.
- Isaiah 52:5 echo (Titus 2:5 / Romans 2:24): Use cognate Malay vocabulary for “reviled/blasphemed” (dihina/dihujat family) in both passages so the shared OT echo remains visible.
- Romans 13:1-7 / Titus 3:1 (submission to civil authority): Render “rulers and authorities” and “submit” identically in both passages (pemerintah dan pihak berkuasa; tunduk kepada). Apply the Malaysia civil/Syariah dual-jurisdiction caution from the Romans baseline without re-deriving it independently for Titus.
- Psalm 14/53 and Romans 3:10-12 / Titus 3:3 (universal sinfulness vice-lists): Use the same register of vocabulary (dosa / tidak taat / disesatkan family) across both passages’ catalog-of-vices style, and align with Ephesians 2:1-3 if that curriculum is translated.
- Romans 9:5 / Titus 2:13 (deity-of-Christ Granville Sharp constructions): Preserve single-referent apposition syntax identically in both verses; if 2 Peter 1:1 is later translated in this Language Package, apply the same syntactic strategy there as well.
- Genesis 15:6 / Romans 4:3,9,22 / Titus 3:7 (imputed righteousness and heirship): Diperbenarkan must render identically across all these passages; waris (heir, Titus 3:7) must be taught alongside Romans 8:17’s “fellow heirs” language as one continuous doctrine.
- Joel 2:28-29 / Acts 2:17-18 / Titus 3:6 (“poured out”): Use dicurahkan identically in Titus 3:6 and in Acts 2:17-18’s citation of Joel, when Acts is translated.
- Exodus 19:5 / 1 Peter 2:9 / Titus 2:14 (“a people for his own possession”): Use umat kepunyaan-Nya sendiri identically in both passages when 1 Peter is translated.
- Romans 3:20/28, 4:4-5, Ephesians 2:8-9 / Titus 3:5 (“not by works”): The works-exclusion clause must use Kebenaran and Kasih kurnia exactly as recorded in the baseline translation memory, and the grammatical structure of the negation (“not by works… but according to his mercy”) should track the equivalent Romans and Ephesians constructions as closely as Malay syntax allows.
- Romans 16:17 / Matthew 18:15-17 / Titus 3:10 (divisive persons and church discipline): Render consistently as an internal church-discipline matter (orang yang menimbulkan perpecahan); never introduce bidaah or sesat/ajaran sesat in any of these parallel passages.
- 1 Timothy 1:4 / Titus 1:14, 3:9 (“myths,” “genealogies”): Use dongeng and salasilah consistently across both letters when 1 Timothy is translated in this Language Package.
