Cross-Reference Analysis
09 — Cross-Reference and Theme Analysis: Deuteronomy (Full Book)
Purpose and Method
Deuteronomy sits at a unique position in the tri-bible.ai curriculum sequence: it is the source text quoted directly by Jesus, Peter, Stephen, and Paul at some of the most theologically load-bearing moments in the New Testament (the Shema as the greatest commandment, the wilderness temptation narrative, the Prophet-like-Moses fulfillment in Acts, the curse-of-the-law argument in Galatians, and — most extensively — Paul’s argument in Romans 10-12). Because the Romans Language Package is already the established baseline for this language pair, every point where Deuteronomy is quoted or alluded to in Romans (or elsewhere in the New Testament) creates a binding rendering-consistency obligation: the Mandarin text of the Deuteronomy passage and the Mandarin text of its NT quotation must read as recognizably the same statement, exactly as the baseline requires for Romans 1:16-17, 8:28, and 10:9-10 internally.
This document is organized in four parts:
- Part 1 — a chapter-by-chapter cross-reference matrix for all 34 chapters.
- Part 2 — a consolidated summary of messianic references and typology.
- Part 3 — direct parallels to the Romans baseline curriculum, with binding rendering-consistency rules.
- Part 4 — a consolidated table of every shared quotation across the whole New Testament (not only Romans) requiring future cross-curriculum consistency checks.
Citation Normalization Convention
All citations in this document use the normalized English format Book Chapter:Verse
(e.g. Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Romans 10:6-8, Genesis 15:6), consistent with citation
practice in 07_semantic_analysis.md and 08_core_glossary.md. This is the working
citation format for Phase 1 analysis artifacts only. Per the baseline’s Cross-Reference
Preservation Rules, all Phase 2 output-facing citations must be converted to standard
Mandarin Bible citation format (e.g. 罗马书10:6-8, 创世记15:6, 申命记6:4-5) using CUV book
names. Deuteronomy’s CUV book name is 申命记 (Shēnmìngjì).
Part 1 — Chapter-by-Chapter Cross-Reference Matrix
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT Connection | NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deuteronomy 1:1-46 | Remembering God’s Redemption; unbelief warning | Moses, Caleb, Joshua, the spies | Recaps Numbers 13:1-14:45 (Kadesh-barnea spy narrative); Exodus 17:1-7 (Horeb) | Hebrews 3:16-19 (wilderness unbelief as warning, quoting Psalm 95, thematically continuous with this chapter) | Low. 不要惧怕 (do not fear) reused from baseline courage vocabulary; no forbidden-term collision. |
| Deuteronomy 2:1-3:29 | Covenant Judgment (herem); divine provision in the wilderness | Sihon king of Heshbon, Og king of Bashan | Recaps Numbers 21:21-35 (defeat of Sihon and Og) | Amos 2:9 (later prophetic recollection of Amorite conquest, OT-internal echo only; no direct NT citation) | High. 灭绝净尽 (herem) — human theologian review required per 07/08; must not echo Buddhist 灭度/寂灭 extinction vocabulary. |
| Deuteronomy 4:1-49 | Warnings against Idolatry; exclusive monotheism | Moses (address only; no named third party) | Recaps Exodus 20:4-6 (second commandment); Exodus 32 (golden calf, referenced as warning precedent) | Mark 12:32 (scribe echoes “there is one God, and there is no other but he,” directly reflecting Deuteronomy 4:35,39); 1 Corinthians 8:4-6 (Paul restates exclusive monotheism); Hebrews 12:29 (direct quotation of “our God is a consuming fire,” Deuteronomy 4:24) | Critical. 独一/别无 exclusivity language here must match the Shema rendering established for Deuteronomy 6:4 exactly, since 4:35,39 is the same doctrinal claim stated first. |
| Deuteronomy 5:1-33 | Covenant Renewal; the Ten Words restated | Moses; the generation at Horeb vs. the generation at Moab | Parallels Exodus 20:1-17 (original giving of the Decalogue) | Ephesians 6:2-3 (quotes the Deuteronomic form of the fifth commandment, including the “that it may go well with you” clause unique to Deuteronomy 5:16 rather than Exodus 20:12); Matthew 5:21-37 (Jesus expounds commandments); Romans 13:9 (Paul restates commandments in support of the love-fulfills-the-law argument, already baseline curriculum) | High. 十条诫 rendering must remain identical to whatever rendering is fixed for Exodus 20 in a future curriculum, and the fifth-commandment clause must match the future Ephesians 6:2-3 rendering exactly. |
| Deuteronomy 6:1-9 (core passage) | The Shema and Exclusive Love for God | Moses; the household (parents/children) | Deuteronomy 6:4-5 restates and intensifies 4:35,39 | Mark 12:29-30, Matthew 22:37, Luke 10:27 (Jesus quotes Deuteronomy 6:4-5 verbatim as “the great commandment”); Deuteronomy 6:13,16 → Matthew 4:7,10, Luke 4:8,12 (temptation narrative) | Critical. See Part 3 below for full binding rendering rule; this is the single most important cross-reference in the whole book. |
| Deuteronomy 6:10-25 | Obedience Motivated by Love not Merit | Moses; future son who asks “what do the statutes mean?” (6:20) | — | 1 Corinthians 10:9 (Paul’s warning against testing Christ, echoing “you shall not put the LORD your God to the test,” Deuteronomy 6:16) | Medium. 试探 (test/tempt) must be distinguished from folk divination-testing vocabulary already flagged in 07. |
| Deuteronomy 7:1-26 | Election; Warnings against Idolatry; herem | — (Canaanite nations named generically: Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, Jebusites) | Recaps Exodus 19:5 (first statement of “treasured possession”); Exodus 34:11-16 (no covenant with Canaanite nations) | Titus 2:14 and 1 Peter 2:9 (both directly echo the “treasured/own possession” language of Deuteronomy 7:6/14:2, applying it typologically to the church) | High. 属自己的子民 must be checked for consistency against the future Titus 2:14 / 1 Peter 2:9 renderings once those curricula are processed. |
| Deuteronomy 8:1-20 | Remembering God’s Redemption | Moses; the wilderness generation | Recaps Exodus 16 (manna) | Matthew 4:4, Luke 4:4 (Jesus quotes Deuteronomy 8:3, “man shall not live by bread alone,” verbatim in the temptation narrative) | Critical. Rendering of Deuteronomy 8:3 must be locked and reused verbatim once Matthew 4:4 is translated; flag for mandatory cross-check. |
| Deuteronomy 9:1-10:22 | Warnings against Idolatry; Obedience Motivated by Love not Merit | Moses, Aaron; the golden calf generation | Recaps Exodus 32:1-35 (golden calf); Exodus 34:1-9,28 (second tablets) | Romans 2:29 (already baseline curriculum: “circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit,” directly descended from Deuteronomy 10:16); Colossians 2:11 (circumcision of Christ); 1 Timothy 6:15, Revelation 17:14, 19:16 (echo “God of gods, Lord of lords,” Deuteronomy 10:17); Hebrews 13:2 (love for the stranger, echoing Deuteronomy 10:18-19) | Critical. 心受割礼 must render identically to the existing Romans 2:29 rendering — this is a fixed requirement carried over from 07_semantic_analysis.md. |
| Deuteronomy 11:1-32 | Blessings and Curses of the Covenant | Moses | Anticipates the full blessing/curse ceremony of chapters 27-28 | Galatians 3:10 (thematically anticipatory of Paul’s “curse of the law” argument, though the direct quotation source is Deuteronomy 27:26, not this chapter) | High. 福/祝福 and 咒诅 introduced here must be rendered identically at every later occurrence (chs. 27, 28, 30). |
| Deuteronomy 12:1-32 | Warnings against Idolatry; centralized worship | — | Anticipates 1 Kings 8 (Solomon’s temple as “the place the LORD will choose”) | John 4:20-24 (Jesus’ teaching that true worship is not bound to one place, presented as fulfillment/transcendence of the centralization principle, not contradiction) | Medium. 邱坛 (high places) must not be softened toward a neutral “temple” term; distinct from 教会 (baseline church). |
| Deuteronomy 13:1-18 | Warnings against Idolatry; false prophecy | — | — | Matthew 7:15-23, Matthew 24:24 (false prophets with signs), Galatians 1:8-9 (anathema on those who preach a different gospel — parallel doctrinal-fidelity-over-authority principle), 1 John 4:1 (test the spirits), 2 Peter 2:1 | High. 假先知 must remain distinct from 算命先生 (fortune-teller, baseline prophet note) — the issue is doctrinal fidelity, not predictive accuracy. |
| Deuteronomy 14:1-29 | Holiness (corporate); tithe | — | Recaps Leviticus 11 (clean/unclean animals, near-identical list) | Acts 10:9-16 (Peter’s vision abrogating the clean/unclean distinction); Mark 7:19; Romans 14:14,20 (already baseline curriculum: “nothing is unclean in itself” — the Romans 14 food-liberty discussion is the direct NT resolution of this very Deuteronomic law) | Medium. Flag explicitly for Phase 2: any teaching unit combining Deuteronomy 14 and Romans 14 must make the redemptive-historical movement (law → liberty in Christ) explicit, not merely juxtapose the texts. |
| Deuteronomy 15:1-23 | Remembering God’s Redemption; grace in economic life | — | Recaps Leviticus 25 (Jubilee release pattern) | Luke 4:18-19 (Jesus reads Isaiah’s Jubilee-language mission statement); Matthew 6:12 (forgive us our debts, echoing the release/remission motif) | Medium. 豁免/安息年 — must not be rendered as a merely fiscal-policy term; retain covenant-grace framing per Deuteronomy 15:15. |
| Deuteronomy 16:1-22 | Remembering God’s Redemption; the pilgrim feasts | — | Recaps Exodus 12 (Passover institution); Leviticus 23 (feast calendar) | 1 Corinthians 5:7 (Christ our Passover lamb); Acts 2:1 (Pentecost/Feast of Weeks fulfillment); John 7:2,37-39 (Jesus at the Feast of Booths, “living water” declaration); Revelation 21:3 (God tabernacling with his people, Booths typology consummated) | Low/Medium. 逾越节, 七七节, 住棚节 are already fixed CUV terms; lock for reuse once Gospels/Acts curricula are processed. |
| Deuteronomy 17:1-20 | Covenant Renewal; kingship under the law | — (anticipates Saul, David, Solomon) | Anticipates 1 Samuel 8 (Israel’s demand for a king); 1 Kings 10-11 (Solomon’s violation of 17:16-17) | Matthew 1:1-17 (genealogy of the true King); Revelation 19:16 (King of kings) | Medium. 王 (king) reused; no forbidden-term collision, but teaching should flag that Israel’s kings are always subordinate to written law — unlike the Mandate-of-Heaven-legitimized emperor model already flagged Critical under baseline calling/election. |
| Deuteronomy 18:1-22 | The Coming Prophet like Moses; Warnings against Idolatry | Moses (type); Saul and the medium of Endor (negative narrative parallel, 1 Samuel 28) | Recaps Leviticus 19:31, 20:6 (mediums/necromancy prohibited); anticipates 1 Samuel 28 | Acts 3:22-23, Acts 7:37 (Peter and Stephen directly quote and apply Deuteronomy 18:15-19 to Jesus); John 1:21,45, 6:14, 7:40 (crowds ask whether John/Jesus is “the Prophet”) | Critical. 像我一样的先知/像摩西一样的先知 and the medium/sorcery vocabulary all require human theologian review at every occurrence, per 07/08. |
| Deuteronomy 19:1-21 | Covenant justice; due process | — | Recaps Numbers 35 (cities of refuge) | Matthew 18:16, 2 Corinthians 13:1, 1 Timothy 5:19, Hebrews 10:28 (all directly cite the “two or three witnesses” rule of Deuteronomy 19:15) | Low. 两三个见证人 must be locked for reuse across all four future NT occurrences. |
| Deuteronomy 20:1-20 | Covenant Judgment (herem); holy war | — (anticipates Joshua) | Anticipates Joshua 6-11 (conquest narrative, direct historical fulfillment) | Ephesians 6:10-17 (later NT reappropriation of warfare imagery as non-military spiritual warfare — a contrast, not a continuity, and must be taught as such) | High. 灭绝净尽 reused; teaching must explicitly block any generalization to a spiritual-warfare or ongoing-conflict ethic. |
| Deuteronomy 21:1-23 | Covenant Judgment; substitutionary curse-bearing (typological) | — | — | Galatians 3:13 (Paul directly quotes Deuteronomy 21:23, “cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree,” applying it to Christ’s crucifixion) | Critical. 被神咒诅的 is the single most important atonement-typology cross-reference in the book outside chapter 30; must be locked for exact future consistency with Galatians 3:13. |
| Deuteronomy 22:1-30 | Holiness expressed in daily/social law | — | — | 2 Corinthians 6:14 (“do not be unequally yoked”) is a thematic, not quotational, echo of the mixed-kinds prohibition of Deuteronomy 22:10; no direct citation | Low. No forbidden-term risk; note the echo for teaching color only, not for binding rendering consistency. |
| Deuteronomy 23:1-25 | Covenant integrity; vows | — | — | Matthew 5:33-37 (Jesus on oaths, “let what you say be simply ‘yes’ or ‘no’” — thematic continuation of vow-integrity, not direct quotation); James 5:12 | Medium. 许愿 must retain the integrity-to-God framing, not the transactional temple-bargain sense flagged in 07. |
| Deuteronomy 24:1-22 | Obedience Motivated by Love not Merit; Remembering God’s Redemption | — (anticipates Ruth, Boaz) | — | Matthew 5:31-32, Matthew 19:3-9, Mark 10:2-12 (Jesus directly engages and reinterprets the divorce-certificate law of Deuteronomy 24:1); Ruth 2 (narrative fulfillment of the gleaning-for-the-poor law) | High. 你要记念你在埃及作过奴仆 motif-clause must render consistently at every recurrence (chs. 5, 15, 16, 24). |
| Deuteronomy 25:1-19 | Covenant justice; life and death; remembering Amalek | — | — | Matthew 22:24-28, Mark 12:19-23, Luke 20:28-33 (Sadducees cite the levirate-marriage law of Deuteronomy 25:5-6 in their resurrection-denying question — directly touches baseline resurrection doctrine, 复活); 1 Corinthians 9:9, 1 Timothy 5:18 (Paul directly quotes Deuteronomy 25:4, “you shall not muzzle an ox,” applying it to paying gospel workers) | Medium/High. Flag Deuteronomy 25:4 for exact-rendering consistency with the future 1 Corinthians 9:9 and 1 Timothy 5:18 quotations. |
| Deuteronomy 26:1-19 | Remembering God’s Redemption; corporate holiness | — | — | Romans 11:16 (general firstfruits imagery, not a direct quotation); James 1:18 (thematic firstfruits echo) | Medium. 圣洁的国民 reused from chapter 7; no new forbidden-term risk. |
| Deuteronomy 27:1-26 | Covenant Renewal; Blessings and Curses of the Covenant | — | Anticipates the ceremony’s fulfillment in Joshua 8:30-35 | Galatians 3:10 (Paul directly quotes Deuteronomy 27:26, “cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law,” as the foundation of his curse-of-the-law argument) | Critical. This is the exact verbal source of Galatians 3:10; 咒诅/律法书 renderings here must be locked for future exact match. |
| Deuteronomy 28:1-68 | Blessings and Curses of the Covenant (definitive chapter) | — | Historically fulfilled in 2 Kings 17:1-23 (northern exile); 2 Kings 24-25 (southern/Babylonian exile); directly cited by name in Daniel 9:11-13 (“the curse written in the Law of Moses”) | Galatians 3:10,13 (thematic continuation); Luke 21:20-24 (Jesus’ prophecy of Jerusalem’s fall echoes covenant-curse language) | High. Every occurrence of 你必蒙福/你必受咒诅 requires human theologian review per 07/08; must never be read as impersonal fortune/misfortune. |
| Deuteronomy 29:1-29 | Covenant Renewal; the secret-sin warning | — | — | Romans 11:8 (already baseline curriculum: Paul directly quotes Deuteronomy 29:4, combined with Isaiah 29:10, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not see”); Hebrews 12:15 (thematic echo of the “root bearing poisonous fruit,” Deuteronomy 29:18) | Critical. 明白的心 rendering of Deuteronomy 29:4 must be checked against the existing Romans 11:8 rendering for exact match once produced. |
| Deuteronomy 30:1-20 | Choosing Life over Death; Obedience Motivated by Love not Merit (definitive chapter) | — | Anticipates Jeremiah 31:31-34 (new covenant, circumcised-heart theology); Joshua 24:15 (“choose this day whom you will serve” — direct OT-internal echo) | Romans 10:6-8 (already baseline curriculum: Paul directly quotes and reworks Deuteronomy 30:12-14, “the word is near you,” as core gospel-proclamation theology); Matthew 7:13-14 (two ways/gates); John 3:36 | Critical — the single highest-stakes cross-reference in the book. See Part 3 below. |
| Deuteronomy 31:1-30 | Covenant Renewal; succession and generational transmission | Moses, Joshua | Parallels Numbers 27:12-23 (commissioning of Joshua) | Hebrews 13:5 (directly quotes Deuteronomy 31:6,8, “I will never leave you nor forsake you,” applied to all believers); Joshua 1:5-9 (direct OT-internal restatement and fulfillment) | Medium. 你当刚强壮胆 must be checked against the future Hebrews 13:5 rendering for consistency. |
| Deuteronomy 32:1-52 | Warnings against Idolatry; divine sovereignty; covenant justice | Moses; Jeshurun (poetic name for Israel) | — | 1 Corinthians 10:4 (direct typological identification: “that Rock was Christ,” Deuteronomy 32:4); 1 Corinthians 10:20 (echoes “sacrificed to demons,” Deuteronomy 32:17); Romans 10:19 (already baseline curriculum: direct quotation of Deuteronomy 32:21); Romans 12:19 (already baseline curriculum: direct quotation of Deuteronomy 32:35, “vengeance is mine”); Hebrews 10:30 (quotes both Deuteronomy 32:35 and 32:36); Romans 15:10 (quotes the LXX text of Deuteronomy 32:43, “rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people”) | Critical. This chapter has more direct Romans quotations than any other chapter outside 6 and 30. See Part 3 below for the full binding rule set. |
| Deuteronomy 33:1-29 | Blessing (tribal); covenant faithfulness | Moses; the twelve tribes | — | Hebrews 11:20-21 (general patriarchal-blessing pattern; not a direct quotation of this chapter) | Low. 永久的膀臂 — no forbidden-term risk. |
| Deuteronomy 34:1-12 | The Coming Prophet like Moses (closing “open loop”) | Moses, Joshua | Parallels Numbers 27:12-23 | Hebrews 3:1-6 (sustained comparative argument: Jesus is greater than Moses); Matthew 17:1-5 (Moses appears with Elijah at the Transfiguration, alongside Christ); Acts 3:22, 7:37 (the “no prophet like Moses” statement is the deliberate unresolved tension these verses answer); Jude 9 (extra-biblical tradition referencing Moses’ body — minor, non-quotational) | Critical. 以色列中再没有兴起像摩西的先知 must be taught explicitly as an intentional canonical “open loop,” not a closed statement, so as not to foreclose the Acts 3/7 fulfillment. |
Part 2 — Messianic References and Typology (Consolidated Summary)
Deuteronomy contains eight major typological/messianic threads. Each is flagged Critical and requires human theologian review at every occurrence in Phase 2.
| Typological Thread | Deuteronomy Source | NT Fulfillment | Mandarin Rendering Anchor |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Prophet like Moses | Deuteronomy 18:15-19; 34:10-12 | Acts 3:22-23; Acts 7:37; John 1:21,45; 6:14; 7:40; Hebrews 3:1-6; Matthew 17:1-5 | 像摩西一样的先知 / 以色列中再没有兴起像摩西的先知 — must be taught as a deliberately unresolved OT promise, closed only by the NT. |
| The Passover Lamb | Deuteronomy 16:1-8 (recapping Exodus 12) | John 1:29; 1 Corinthians 5:7 | 逾越节 — fixed CUV term; retain typological link when Gospels/1 Corinthians are processed. |
| The Rock | Deuteronomy 32:4,15,18,30-31 | 1 Corinthians 10:4 (“that Rock was Christ”) | 磐石 — must be capable of bearing this typological weight; do not substitute a generic “stone” term. |
| The Curse-Bearer | Deuteronomy 21:22-23 | Galatians 3:13 | 被神咒诅的 — lock for exact match with the future Galatians 3:13 rendering. |
| The True King under the Law | Deuteronomy 17:14-20 | Matthew’s royal genealogy; Revelation 19:16 | 王 — teach the law-subordinate kingship pattern as fulfilled, not annulled, by Christ’s kingship. |
| The Circumcised Heart / New Covenant Heart | Deuteronomy 10:16; 30:6 | Jeremiah 31:31-34; Romans 2:29; Ezekiel 36:26 | 心受割礼 — must match the existing Romans 2:29 rendering exactly (baseline curriculum). |
| The Word Made Near | Deuteronomy 30:12-14 | Romans 10:6-8 | 这话离你甚近 — see Part 3 binding rule below. |
| The Tabernacling Presence (Feast of Booths) | Deuteronomy 16:13-15 | John 7:2,37-39; Revelation 21:3 | 住棚节 — fixed CUV term; typological arc to be completed once John/Revelation are processed. |
Part 3 — Direct Parallels to the Romans Baseline Curriculum: Binding Rendering-Consistency Rules
Because Romans is the established baseline for this Language Package, every Deuteronomy passage that Paul quotes or directly alludes to in Romans itself carries the highest possible consistency obligation. The following six cross-references are the load-bearing set and must be treated as fixed constraints on Phase 2 Deuteronomy translation, not merely noted for interest:
| # | Deuteronomy Source | Romans Citation | Nature of Connection | Binding Rendering Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Deuteronomy 6:4-5 (the Shema) | Romans 3:29-30 (God is one, therefore he justifies Jew and Gentile alike by the same faith) | Doctrinal foundation, not direct quotation | The Mandarin rendering of 独一 (Deuteronomy 6:4) must use the same term the baseline uses for God’s unity/uniqueness claims in Romans 3:29-30; do not introduce a second term for the same concept. |
| 2 | Deuteronomy 10:16; 30:6 (circumcise the heart) | Romans 2:29 (“circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit”) | Direct conceptual and near-verbal source | 心受割礼 must render identically in both books. This is a hard constraint carried forward from 07_semantic_analysis.md. |
| 3 | Deuteronomy 29:4 (a heart to understand; eyes that would not see) | Romans 11:8 (direct quotation, combined with Isaiah 29:10) | Direct quotation | 明白的心 and the surrounding clause must be checked against the Romans 11:8 segment translation for exact verbal match once both exist. Flag for mandatory reconciliation pass. |
| 4 | Deuteronomy 30:12-14 (the word is very near you) | Romans 10:6-8 (direct quotation and theological reworking) | Direct quotation — the single most consequential Deuteronomy-in-Romans citation in the New Testament | 这话离你甚近 must render identically to the Romans 10:8 rendering. Given that Romans 10:6-8 is also flagged in the baseline as needing consistency with Romans 1:16-17 and 8:28 (per the baseline’s “Theological Consistency Rules Across Documents” table), this creates a three-way consistency chain: Deuteronomy 30:12-14 = Romans 10:6-8 = itself internally consistent across all future Romans re-translation. |
| 5 | Deuteronomy 32:21 (I will make them jealous with those who are not a nation) | Romans 10:19 (direct quotation) | Direct quotation | Render Deuteronomy 32:21 anticipating the exact Mandarin wording Phase 2 will need for Romans 10:19; flag both for joint theologian review. |
| 6 | Deuteronomy 32:35 (vengeance is mine, and recompense) | Romans 12:19 (direct quotation, “vengeance is mine, I will repay”) | Direct quotation | 伸冤在我 is already fixed in 08_core_glossary.md (#52) specifically because of this connection; treat as non-negotiable once Romans 12:19 is translated. |
A seventh, closely related connection — Deuteronomy 32:43 (LXX) and Romans 15:10 (“rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people”) — should be tracked with the same rigor, since Romans 15:7-12 is already flagged High risk in the baseline doctrine registry under “Unity of Jews and Gentiles.”
Part 4 — Full New Testament Quotation Index (Cross-Curriculum Tracking Table)
This table consolidates every direct New Testament quotation of Deuteronomy identified in Part 1, for use by future Phase 1 work on Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, 1 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, 1 Timothy, and Hebrews curricula. Each row is a mandatory consistency checkpoint: when any of these future books reaches Phase 2 translation, the Deuteronomy Mandarin rendering fixed in this curriculum must be retrieved and matched.
