Cross-Reference Analysis
Cross-Reference and Theme Analysis: 1 Corinthians — Full Book
Purpose and Method
This document maps every explicit Old Testament quotation, every clear OT allusion/typology, every messianic reference, and every substantive parallel to the Romans curriculum (the other Marathi-language package already in production) found across all sixteen chapters of 1 Corinthians. It exists to protect rendering consistency: where 1 Corinthians quotes or echoes a passage already rendered in the Romans translation memory, or shares a doctrine with Romans, the Marathi wording must match exactly, not be independently re-derived. Citations are given in normalized form throughout: {Book Name} {chapter}:{verse} (e.g., 1 Corinthians 15:3, Isaiah 53:5, Genesis 2:24, Romans 5:12), so that Phase 2 tooling can machine-match references across documents.

PART A — Explicit OT Quotations (Canonical Order in 1 Corinthians)
| Passage (1 Corinthians) | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Corinthians 1:19 | The Cross as Wisdom and Power | — (Paul citing prophetic critique of human wisdom) | Isaiah 29:14 — “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart” | Must render ज्ञान (wisdom) consistently with ch. 1–3, 8, 12 usage; the OT citation frames the whole “wisdom vs. cross” argument — see semantic analysis §Ch.1 wisdom entry. Low collision risk in the quotation itself; risk lies in surrounding argument, not the citation. |
| 1 Corinthians 1:31 | The Cross as Wisdom and Power / Grace | — | Jeremiah 9:24 — “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord” (also quoted 2 Corinthians 10:17) | “Boast in the Lord” must use प्रभू (reused exactly); must not read as boasting in a chosen personal deity among many (cf. baseline Lordship-of-Christ critical caution). |
| 1 Corinthians 2:9 | The Cross as Wisdom and Power | — | Composite: Isaiah 64:4 / Isaiah 65:17 — “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him” | Frequently mis-cited devotionally in popular use; keep phrasing tied to God’s prepared, revealed future for believers, not a generic mystical unknown — avoid drift toward a “beyond words” mystical-attainment framing that would echo meditative/bhakti ineffability language. |
| 1 Corinthians 2:16 | Spiritual Gifts and the Body of Christ (discernment) | — | Isaiah 40:13 — “For who has understood the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?” (also Romans 11:34, verbatim shared citation) | Rendering-consistency rule: this exact OT text is also quoted in Romans 11:34. The Marathi rendering of Isaiah 40:13 must be identical in both curricula’s translated output — do not produce two different Marathi phrasings of the same verse. |
| 1 Corinthians 3:19 | The Cross as Wisdom and Power | — | Job 5:13 — “He catches the wise in their craftiness” | Low risk; reinforces ज्ञान/जगाचे ज्ञान contrast already flagged. |
| 1 Corinthians 3:20 | The Cross as Wisdom and Power | — | Psalm 94:11 — “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile” | Low risk. |
| 1 Corinthians 5:13 | Church Discipline and Holiness | — | Deuteronomy 17:7 (cf. Deuteronomy 19:19; 22:21, 24; 24:7) — “Purge the evil person from among you” | Must be framed within 1 Corinthians’ restorative-discipline logic (5:5’s hope of ultimate salvation), not as a bare punitive formula; avoid resonance with caste-based social “purging”/exclusion practices. |
| 1 Corinthians 6:16 | Marriage and Singleness | Adam, Eve (implied) | Genesis 2:24 — “The two will become one flesh” | Same OT verse is foundational to Jesus’ marriage teaching (Matthew 19:5) — this curriculum’s Matthew package must render Genesis 2:24 identically wherever quoted. |
| 1 Corinthians 9:9 | Christ-Centered Ministry (apostolic support) | Moses (Law-giver, implied) | Deuteronomy 25:4 — “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain” | Agricultural proverb reused typologically for apostolic support; low collision risk; note the argument is a lesser-to-greater inference, not a literal animal-welfare command — should be clear in surrounding teaching notes, not the citation itself. |
| 1 Corinthians 10:7 | Christian Liberty and Idol Meat | Israel (wilderness generation) | Exodus 32:6 — “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play” (golden calf narrative) | Directly reinforces मूर्तिपूजा (idolatry) as CRITICAL risk term; the “play” (revelry) evokes the golden-calf feast, a warning paradigm for idol-associated feasting in Corinth. |
| 1 Corinthians 10:20 | Christian Liberty and Idol Meat | — | Deuteronomy 32:17 — “They sacrificed to demons, not God, to gods they had not known” | Directly underlies the भूत (demon) CRITICAL/High risk entry; must be rendered consistently with 1 Corinthians 10:20-21’s own demon vocabulary, not introduce a separate word. |
| 1 Corinthians 10:26 | Christian Liberty and Idol Meat | — | Psalm 24:1 — “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof” | Grounds the liberty half of the idol-meat argument (food itself is not defiled); low risk, but must be held in tension with the idolatry warnings above — flag for teaching note so the two are not read as contradictory. |
| 1 Corinthians 11:7 | Order in Worship | Adam (implied) | Genesis 1:27 — “God created man in his own image… male and female he created them” | Same creation text underlies Romans’ anthropology (no direct Romans citation, but shared background); handle the “image and glory of God” language carefully alongside the ch.11 headship discussion — flag for theologian review per the headship (κεφαλή) entry. |
| 1 Corinthians 11:8-9 | Order in Worship | Adam, Eve | Genesis 2:18-23 — woman created from man, as a helper | Same creation narrative as 6:16 (Genesis 2:24); ensure Genesis 2 vocabulary (created, from, helper) is rendered consistently across both 1 Corinthians occurrences. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:21 | Order in Worship | — | Isaiah 28:11-12 — “By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen” | Directly informs the अन्यभाषा (tongues) High-risk entry: the OT background frames tongues partly as a sign of judgment on unbelief, not merely ecstatic spiritual experience — needed for accurate teaching. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:27 | Resurrection of Christ and Believers | Christ (messianic king) | Psalm 8:6 — “You have put all things under his feet” | Messianic/royal enthronement psalm; pairs with Psalm 110:1 (below) in the same argument (15:25-27); render “under his feet” consistently across both citations within the passage. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:25 | Resurrection of Christ and Believers | Christ (messianic king) | Psalm 110:1 — “The LORD says to my Lord: Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool” | High risk, shared with Romans/Matthew tradition: Psalm 110:1 is among the most-quoted OT texts in the NT (also behind Jesus’ own argument in Matthew 22:44). Must render “my Lord” (אֲדֹנִי) with प्रभू, consistent with the baseline’s Lordship-of-Christ critical convention, and keep the messianic-enthronement sense clear — this is Christ’s present reign, not a future-only hope. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:32 | Resurrection of Christ and Believers | — | Isaiah 22:13 — “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die” | Cited by Paul as the logical (and rejected) conclusion of a world without resurrection; low risk, functions as a foil, not an affirmed teaching. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:33 | Resurrection of Christ and Believers (ethical exhortation) | — (secular quotation, not OT) | Menander, Thais — “Bad company corrupts good morals” (Greek proverb, not Scripture) | Citation-handling note: this is Paul’s only quotation of pagan Greek literature in the letter (parallel to Acts 17:28 and Titus 1:12). Do not cite it as “Scripture says” in any translator’s note or footnote apparatus — flag clearly as a secular proverb Paul is using, to avoid conflating it with the OT citations in this table. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:45 | Resurrection of Christ and Believers | Adam, Christ (last Adam) | Genesis 2:7 — “The first man Adam became a living being” | Critical typological pairing — see Part B (Adam-Christ typology) and Part D (Romans 5:12-21 parallel). The Marathi rendering of “living being” (नैसर्गिक जीव/सजीव) here must be checked against how Genesis 2:7 itself would be rendered in an OT translation reference, for internal consistency. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:54 | Resurrection of Christ and Believers | — | Isaiah 25:8 — “He will swallow up death forever” | Directly parallel to 15:55 (Hosea) in the same triumphant couplet; render “swallowed up in victory” (विजयाने गिळून टाकले) consistently between the two adjacent citations. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:55 | Resurrection of Christ and Believers | — | Hosea 13:14 — “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades/Sheol, where is your victory?” | Paired with Isaiah 25:8 directly above; both underlie the विजय (victory) and डंख (sting) glossary entries — keep the same rendering across both citation lines within v.54-55. |
PART B — OT Allusions and Typology (Not Formula-Quoted, but Structurally Load-Bearing)
| Passage (1 Corinthians) | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/Typological Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 6:19 | Church Discipline and Holiness / Spiritual Gifts | — | Exodus 25-40; 1 Kings 6 (tabernacle/temple as God’s dwelling) | Typology: the congregation (ch. 3) and the individual believer’s body (ch. 6) now function as the OT tabernacle/temple did — God’s dwelling-place. As flagged in the semantic analysis, मंदिर must be taught against Hindu shrine/idol-housing assumptions each time it renders ναός. |
| 1 Corinthians 5:6-8 | Church Discipline and Holiness | Israel (Exodus generation) | Exodus 12:1-20 (Passover/unleavened bread instruction) | Typology: Christ as the true Passover lamb (5:7), sin as “leaven” needing removal before the “feast” of Christian life. Requires explicit OT background teaching, per the खमीर/वल्हांडण entries — this audience largely lacks Exodus narrative literacy. |
| 1 Corinthians 9:13 | Christ-Centered Ministry | Levitical priests (implied) | Numbers 18:8-24; Deuteronomy 18:1-8 (priests/Levites supported from temple service) | Typology grounding Paul’s argument that gospel workers deserve support; low collision risk but requires background note on the Levitical priesthood, which has no cultural parallel readily available to a Marathi reader. |
| 1 Corinthians 10:1-4 | Christian Liberty and Idol Meat / Church Discipline | Moses, Israel (wilderness generation) | Exodus 13:21-22 (cloud); Exodus 14:21-22 (sea crossing); Exodus 16:4, 35 (manna); Exodus 17:6, Numbers 20:8-11 (water from the rock) | Critical typological cluster: Paul explicitly calls these events τύποι (“examples/types,” 10:6, 11) for the church. The identification “the Rock was Christ” (10:4) is a direct pre-existence-of-Christ claim — see Part C (Messianic References). Must not collapse into a generic “history repeats” moral lesson; this is Christ’s own active presence with Israel in the wilderness. |
| 1 Corinthians 10:5 | Christian Liberty and Idol Meat | Israel (wilderness generation) | Numbers 14:16, 29-30 (bodies scattered/fell in the wilderness) | Warning-typology; low collision risk, but must retain the seriousness of divine judgment on the redeemed-yet-disobedient generation, a key warning against presumption (10:12). |
| 1 Corinthians 10:8 | Christian Liberty and Idol Meat | Israel, Moabite women (implied) | Numbers 25:1-9 (Baal of Peor; sexual immorality and idolatry combined, 23,000 fell) | Directly reinforces the pairing of πορνεία (व्यभिचार) and idolatry (मूर्तिपूजा) as linked sins — both High/Critical risk terms; the typology binds sexual sin and false worship together, a connection worth preserving in teaching notes. |
| 1 Corinthians 10:9 | Christian Liberty and Idol Meat | Israel; Christ (object of testing) | Numbers 21:5-6 (grumbling, fiery serpents) | “We must not put Christ to the test as some of them did” — a striking retrojection of Christ into the Exodus narrative (parallel to 10:4); reinforces Christ’s pre-existence and active presence in OT Israel’s history. |
| 1 Corinthians 10:10 | Christian Liberty and Idol Meat | Israel; Korah’s company (implied) | Numbers 16:41-49 (grumbling against Moses/Aaron, judgment by “the destroyer”) | Warning-typology against factional grumbling — resonance with the unity/factionalism theme (chs. 1, 3, 11) as well as idol-meat warnings. |
| 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 | The Lord’s Supper | Christ (institutor) | Exodus 12 (Passover meal); Jeremiah 31:31-34 (new covenant promise) | Typology + direct fulfillment: the Lord’s Supper both echoes the Passover meal’s structure and explicitly fulfills Jeremiah’s “new covenant” promise (“this cup is the new covenant in my blood,” 11:25). करार (covenant, reused from Romans baseline) must be used for “covenant” here exactly as in Romans’ Davidic/New Covenant contexts. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:21-22, 45-49 | Resurrection of Christ and Believers | Adam, Christ (“last Adam”) | Genesis 2:7; Genesis 3:6, 17-19 (the fall and its death-sentence) | Critical, direct parallel to Romans 5:12-21 — see Part D below. This is the single most important cross-curricular typological link in the entire book: Adam as the type, Christ as the antitype (“last Adam,” “second man”), death-through-one / life-through-one structure identical to Romans’ argument. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:34 | Order in Worship | — | Possible allusion to Genesis 3:16 or general Torah teaching (“as the Law also says”) — the precise OT referent is debated among interpreters | Flag for theologian review: unlike the other citations in this table, the specific OT text behind “as the Law also says” in 14:34 is not agreed upon by scholars. Do not silently resolve this ambiguity by inserting a specific OT citation into any Marathi teaching note; note the interpretive uncertainty explicitly, consistent with the High-risk flag already placed on this verse in the semantic analysis and core glossary. |
PART C — Messianic References and Typology of Christ
| Passage (1 Corinthians) | Theme | Messianic/Christological Content | OT Root | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Corinthians 1:23-24 | The Cross as Wisdom and Power | ”Christ crucified… the power of God and the wisdom of God” | Isaiah 53 (Suffering Servant, background, not directly quoted here) | Must retain the scandal: Messiah’s death is not a defeat requiring explanation away, but itself the content of “power” and “wisdom” — घ्रूस and देवाचे सामर्थ्य reused per baseline. |
| 1 Corinthians 5:7 | Church Discipline and Holiness | ”Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed” | Exodus 12 (Passover lamb typology) | See Part B; Messiah as fulfillment of the Passover pattern — requires OT background teaching, flagged Medium-High in glossary. |
| 1 Corinthians 10:4 | Christian Liberty and Idol Meat | ”…and the Rock was Christ” — explicit claim of Christ’s active pre-existence and presence with Israel in the wilderness | Exodus 17:6; Deuteronomy 32:4 (God as “Rock”) | Critical: this is one of the clearest NT affirmations of Christ’s pre-existence and deity outside the Gospels’ prologues. Must not be softened into a merely symbolic or retrospective reading — Paul asserts Christ was there, acting, in Israel’s history. Directly reinforces the baseline’s Deity of Christ / Sonship of Christ Critical-risk doctrines. |
| 1 Corinthians 11:25 | The Lord’s Supper | ”This cup is the new covenant in my blood” | Jeremiah 31:31-34 (new covenant promise); Exodus 24:8 (blood of the covenant) | Messiah as covenant-inaugurator; करार reused exactly; must be distinguished from a merely commemorative meal — this is the covenant-ratifying blood of the Messiah himself. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 | Resurrection of Christ and Believers | ”Christ died for our sins… was buried… was raised on the third day, in accordance with the Scriptures” | Composite background: Isaiah 53:5-12 (vicarious suffering); Psalm 16:8-11 (God’s Holy One not abandoned to Sheol/decay, cf. Acts 2:25-31; 13:35); Hosea 6:2 (“after two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up”) | CRITICAL — the core passage’s central messianic claim. “According to the Scriptures” does not name one single proof-text but the whole pattern of OT expectation Paul assumes his readers know; for a Marathi audience with low OT literacy this needs explicit teaching (per baseline Fulfillment of Prophecy doctrine notes), not an assumed-familiar citation. See Part A entries above (Isaiah 25:8, Hosea 13:14) for the resurrection-triumph texts quoted later in the same chapter. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:25-27 | Resurrection of Christ and Believers | Christ’s present reign until all enemies (including death) are subdued | Psalm 110:1; Psalm 8:6 | See Part A; messianic enthronement psalms applied to Christ’s present, active reign — reinforces प्रभू (Lord) as exclusive, presently-reigning, per baseline Critical caution. |
PART D — Parallels to the Romans Curriculum (Same Language Pair)
Because Romans and 1 Corinthians will be read by the same Marathi learners within one curriculum arc, every shared doctrine or shared quotation below must receive identical Marathi rendering across both packages. This section exists to prevent Phase 2 drift.
| 1 Corinthians passage | Romans passage | Shared term / doctrine | Rendering-consistency rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 | Romans 4:25 | Christ’s substitutionary death and resurrection (“delivered up for our trespasses… raised for our justification”) | Both use the same ὑπέρ (“for/on behalf of”) substitutionary logic and the same पुनरुत्थान resurrection term. The Marathi rendering of “raised” must be identical: पुनरुत्थान झाले / उठवण्यात आले, never varying between the two books. |
| 1 Corinthians 1:18, 24 | Romans 1:16 | Power of God for salvation | देवाचे सामर्थ्य must be used verbatim in both books; never शक्ती in either. This is the single clearest doctrinal echo between the two letters’ opening chapters (both name the gospel/cross as God’s “power”). |
| 1 Corinthians 6:11 | Romans 5:1; 8:30 | Justification and sanctification named together | नीतिमान ठरवणे (justification) and पवित्रीकरण/पवित्र (sanctification) must both appear with identical phrasing in 1 Corinthians 6:11 (“you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified”) as in Romans’ ordo salutis language (8:30). |
| 1 Corinthians 12:4-13; 12:27 | Romans 12:3-8 | One body, many members, diverse gifts | आत्मिक कृपादान (spiritual gifts) and अवयव (members) must render identically in both chapters; both texts make the identical rhetorical move (body-with-many-members illustrating unity-in-diversity) and should read as recognizably the same teaching to a learner moving between the two books. |
| 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 | Romans 5:5; 8:35, 39; 12:9-10; 13:8-10 | ἀγάπη / love | Rendering-consistency gap identified: the Romans baseline translation_memory.json has no explicit “love” entry, yet ἀγάπη occurs at several load-bearing points in Romans (5:5 “God’s love poured into our hearts,” 8:35-39 “nothing can separate us from the love of Christ/God,” 13:8-10 “love fulfills the law”). Recommendation: retroactively add प्रीती (prītī) to the Romans translation memory for all these occurrences, so that 1 Corinthians 13’s fixed rendering does not become the first and only place प्रीती appears — Romans readers must already have met प्रीती as the consistent word for God’s/Christian love before reaching 1 Corinthians 13. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:21-22, 45-49 | Romans 5:12-21 | Adam-Christ typology (death through one man, life through one man) | Critical, highest-priority consistency rule in this document. Romans 5:12-21 is Paul’s fullest development of this typology; 1 Corinthians 15 assumes and extends it (introducing “last Adam,” “spiritual body” vocabulary not present in Romans 5). The Marathi rendering of “Adam” (आदाम, established transliteration), “one man” (एक मनुष्य), “death entered/reigned” (मृत्यूचा प्रवेश/मृत्यूचे राज्य), and “made alive” (जिवंत करण्यात आले) must match between the two books exactly. Recommend a new shared translation-memory entry: adam_christ_typology, Critical risk, cross-referencing both Romans 5:12-21 and 1 Corinthians 15:21-22, 45-49. |
| 1 Corinthians 8:1-13; 10:23-33 | Romans 14:1-23 | Christian liberty, the “weaker” conscience, stumbling blocks | Direct structural parallel: both passages address believers with differing convictions about food, both invoke सद्सद्विवेकबुद्धी (conscience) and a “stumbling block” concept. Romans baseline does not carry an explicit “stumbling block” entry; recommend the 1 Corinthians glossary’s अडखळण be treated as the shared term for both books’ stumbling-block language (Romans 14:13, 20-21) rather than an independently derived Romans-specific word. |
| 1 Corinthians 9:1-27; 15:9-11 | Romans 1:1; 15:15-21 | Apostleship, apostolic ministry, and calling | प्रेषित (apostle) reused identically; both books ground apostolic authority in a direct commission, not a self-appointed teaching role — consistent with the guru-avoidance caution already established in the Romans baseline apostle entry. |
| 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 | Romans 9-11 (esp. 9:6-8; 11:1-10, 22-23) | Israel’s history as warning and pattern | Both books draw extensively on OT Israel narrative to warn against presumption and unbelief; 1 Corinthians 10 uses wilderness-generation typology while Romans 9-11 uses election/remnant theology. Both must maintain the same careful avoidance of karma-birth-status framing established in the Romans baseline’s Effectual Calling and Providence doctrine notes, since both discuss why some within a covenant community fall away. |
| 1 Corinthians 11:25 | Romans (करार, covenant, established for Davidic Covenant) | New covenant in Christ’s blood | करार must be used identically; 1 Corinthians 11:25 is the curriculum’s clearest NT institution-of-covenant text and should read as continuous with, not different from, Romans’ covenant vocabulary. |
| 1 Corinthians 1:1-9 | Romans 1:1-7 | Pauline apostolic greeting formula (called, saints, grace, peace) | Nearly identical formulaic language in both openings. बोलावलेले (called), पवित्र जन (saints), कृपा (grace), शांती (peace) must appear in the same fixed order and phrasing in both books’ opening greetings, since these are the learner’s first encounter with the curriculum’s core vocabulary in each book. |
| 1 Corinthians 14 (esp. 14:34-35) | Romans 16:1-7 (Phoebe, Prisca, Junia named in ministry) | Women’s roles in the church | Flag for consistency in review routing, not lexical rendering: Romans baseline does not resolve gender-role interpretive questions and the same caution applies here — neither book’s Marathi rendering should be used to unilaterally settle the interpretive debate; both are routed to human theologian / native speaker review per escalation rules. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:54-56 | Romans 5:12-14; 6:23; 7:7-13 | Sin, law, and death’s relationship | नियमशास्त्र (law) and पाप (sin) reused exactly; 1 Corinthians 15:56 (“the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law”) compresses into one verse an argument Romans develops across several chapters — translators should be aware learners will connect this verse back to the fuller Romans argument, and the vocabulary must match for that connection to be visible in Marathi. |
Citation Normalization Rules
- All Scripture citations in Phase 2 output and in translator notes use the format
{Book Name} {chapter}:{verse}in English for internal tooling cross-reference (e.g.,1 Corinthians 15:3,Genesis 2:24), and the equivalent Marathi Bible citation format for reader-facing text (per the Romans baseline: e.g., रोमकरांस पत्र ३:२३ pattern, but note the baseline specifies Arabic numerals for verse numbers, not Devanagari — this applies identically to 1 Corinthians citations: 1 करिंथकरांस पत्र 15:3, not देवनागरी अंकांमध्ये). - Multi-verse ranges use a hyphen:
1 Corinthians 15:1-11, not “1 Corinthians 15:1,2,3…11”. - Composite/background citations (e.g., 1 Corinthians 2:9’s blend of Isaiah 64:4 and 65:17) are cited with both references separated by a slash:
Isaiah 64:4 / Isaiah 65:17. - Non-Scriptural citations (1 Corinthians 15:33’s Menander quotation) must never be formatted identically to Scripture citations in any translator note or footnote apparatus — label explicitly as “secular quotation,” not “OT reference.”
- Cross-curricular references between 1 Corinthians and Romans documents use the full book name each time (
Romans 5:12), never an abbreviation, to keep automated matching reliable across the two Language Packages.
Summary: Rendering-Consistency Rules for Phase 2
- Isaiah 40:13 (1 Corinthians 2:16 / Romans 11:34) — identical Marathi rendering required in both books.
- Psalm 110:1 (1 Corinthians 15:25) — render with प्रभू for “my Lord,” consistent with the baseline’s Lordship-of-Christ convention; this psalm underlies wider NT usage the learner may encounter in the Matthew curriculum as well.
- Genesis 2:24 (1 Corinthians 6:16) — must match any future rendering in the Matthew curriculum (Matthew 19:5 quotes the same verse).
- Adam-Christ typology (1 Corinthians 15:21-22, 45-49 / Romans 5:12-21) — single most important cross-book consistency item; recommend new shared translation-memory entry
adam_christ_typology, Critical risk. - ἀγάπη / love (1 Corinthians 13 / Romans 5:5, 8:35-39, 12:9-10, 13:8-10) — recommend retroactively adding प्रीती to the Romans translation memory so both books use one fixed love-term from the learner’s very first encounter with either letter.
- Covenant (करार) — identical across 1 Corinthians 11:25 and all Romans covenant occurrences.
- Stumbling block (अडखळण) — recommend treating as a shared cross-book term with Romans 14:13, 20-21, rather than a 1-Corinthians-only coinage.
- Power of God (देवाचे सामर्थ्य) — identical across 1 Corinthians 1:18/24 and Romans 1:16; never शक्ती in either book.
This analysis extends, and must never contradict, analysis/07_semantic_analysis.md and analysis/08_core_glossary.md for 1 Corinthians, and the baseline Romans translation_memory.json / bible_term_registry.json / doctrine_risk_registry.json. All Critical-risk recommendations above require theologian sign-off before Phase 2 translation memory updates are finalized.
