Passage

Romans 11

• Glossary Term

  Apostle

  A descriptive phrase ('one who has been sent') conveys authorized, commissioned ministry.

  ROM.11.13

• Doctrine

  Apostleship

  Risk of reducing apostleship to a generic religious-specialist role paralleling a maiba or maibi's recognized ritual office rather than a unique, Christ-commissioned sent ministry.

  ROM.11.13

• Doctrine

  Effectual Calling

  God's sovereign call that ensures the salvation of the called; not ৱাইফম (impersonal fate) and not a royal-divine-lineage selection of the Pakhangba-descent type.

  ROM.11.29

• Glossary Term

  Election

  God's sovereign, personal choice; must be distinguished from ৱাইফম (impersonal fate) and from the sense of royal-divine selection historically claimed by the Meitei kingship tradition (descent from Pakhangba).

  ROM.11.29

• Glossary Term

  Gentiles

  Non-Jewish peoples; a descriptive rendering built on ফুরুপ (clan/community), a category with real weight in Meitei social organization, so use with awareness that 'other peoples' language can resonate with existing clan-identity categories.

  ROM.11.17-24

• Doctrine

  Grace

  Unmerited favor must be distinguished from Vaishnava bhakti's কৃপা (Krishna's favor, typically understood as responsive to a devotee's devoted service), a live and well-developed devotional framework, not a distant abstraction.

  ROM.11.5-6

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  CRITICAL: a descriptive compound ('favor given without needing to be earned') is required.

  ROM.11.5-6

• Glossary Term

  Israel

  Proper name; standard transliteration.

  ROM.11.17-24

• Glossary Term

  Justification

  CRITICAL: a descriptive compound ('being made/declared righteous') is required to carry the forensic, once-for-all legal-declaration sense; must never be abbreviated to mere forgiveness, which loses the 'declared righteous' dimension central to Romans 4.

  ROM.11.11

• Doctrine

  Providence

  God's personal, purposive care; never ৱাইফম (fate).

  ROM.11.33-36

• Glossary Term

  Providence

  God's personal, purposive care; never ৱাইফম (fate).

  ROM.11.33-36

• Glossary Term

  Righteousness

  CRITICAL: right standing before God received through faith, not ধর্ম-style religious duty.

  ROM.11.11

• Doctrine

  Salvation

  CRITICAL: never মোক্ষ (Vaishnava liberation) and never framed as a devotee's hoped-for eternal union with or nearness to Krishna's presence.

  ROM.11.11

• Glossary Term

  Salvation

  CRITICAL: অহানবা ('being rescued/delivered') must never collapse into মোক্ষ (Vaishnava liberation) or into a bhakti-devotee's hoped-for eternal nearness to or absorption into Krishna's presence in Vaikuntha/Goloka, a real and specific aspiration within Manipuri Vaishnava devotional life.

  ROM.11.11

• Doctrine

  Unity of Jews and Gentiles

  Must be taught with theological clarity rather than mapped directly onto contemporary Manipur ethnic-community relations, which address a different (social/political) kind of division from the one Romans is resolving.

  ROM.11.17-24
