Core Glossary — Ephesians 1–6 (English → Odia)
This glossary compiles every load-bearing term analyzed in 07_semantic_analysis.md, citing terms from every chapter of Ephesians (1–6). Risk tiers and definitions follow the baseline doctrine_risk_registry.json exactly (Critical / High / Medium / Low). TM Status marks whether a term is:
- REUSED — already recorded in the baseline Romans
translation_memory.json; the Odia rendering below is copied verbatim and MUST NOT be altered. - NEW — introduced by the Ephesians curriculum; proposed for addition to translation memory, with risk tier assigned using the same method the baseline established.

Rejected alternatives: ଠାକୁର, ଭଗବାନ
Original: θεός
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package. Never ଠାକୁର or ଭଗବାନ. Subject of nearly every Ephesians doctrine.
Holy Spirit
Approved rendering: ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମା
Transliteration: Pabitra Ātmā
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: ପରମାତ୍ମା
Original: πνεῦμα ἅγιον
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package. Never ପରମାତ୍ମା. Seals believers (1:13), unites the church (4:3-4), and can be grieved (4:30) — proof of personhood.
Father
Approved rendering: ପିତା
Transliteration: Pitā
Doctrine: Adoption into God’s Family
Rejected alternatives: ସୃଷ୍ଟିକର୍ତ୍ତା
Original: πατήρ
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package. Never ସୃଷ୍ଟିକର୍ତ୍ତା. Attested in Ephesians 1:2,3,17; 3:14; 4:6; 5:20.
Christ
Approved rendering: ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ
Transliteration: Khrīṣṭa
Doctrine: Christology
Rejected alternatives: ଅବତାର
Original: Χριστός
Category: Christology
NEW — established Odia Bible-translation transliteration per baseline proper-name conventions. The phrase ‘in Christ’ (ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କଠାରେ) recurs over 30 times in Ephesians and must retain its identity-conferring, union force; never assimilated to avatar-descent language.
Predestined
Approved rendering: ପୂର୍ବନିରୂପିତ
Transliteration: pūrbanirūpita
Doctrine: Election and Predestination in Christ
Rejected alternatives: ଭାଗ୍ୟ, ନିୟତି
Original: προορίζω
Category: Election
NEW coinage — the single highest-priority Election term. Must convey a personal, loving, pre-temporal decision concerning specific people, sharply distinct from impersonal fate/niyati, the mechanical law of karma across lives, astrological (graha) destiny, and the Nabakalebara sign-based image-selection ritual. Ephesians 1:5, 1:11. Mandatory theologian review every occurrence.
Redemption
Approved rendering: ଉଦ୍ଧାର (ମୂଲ୍ୟ ଦେଇ ଉଦ୍ଧାର)
Transliteration: uddhāra (mūlya dei uddhāra)
Doctrine: Redemption Through Christ’s Blood
Rejected alternatives: ମୁକ୍ତି, ମୋକ୍ଷ
Original: ἀπολύτρωσις
Category: Salvation
NEW. Extends the baseline’s salvation/moksha prohibition to this closely adjacent doctrine (Eph 1:7,14). Never ମୁକ୍ତି, which would misrepresent redemption as a self-attained release rather than a price paid once by Christ.
Children Of Wrath
Approved rendering: ସ୍ୱଭାବରେ କ୍ରୋଧର ସନ୍ତାନ
Transliteration: swabhābare krodhara santāna
Doctrine: Spiritual Death and Total Inability
Original: φύσει τέκνα ὀργῆς
Category: Sin
NEW — sharpest Odisha-specific collision in the book (Eph 2:3). ସ୍ୱଭାବ carries Gita 18’s caste-linked svabhāva-determined dharma. Must be taught as a universal, shared, and grace-reversible condition of ALL humanity, never a fixed lower birth-nature. Mandatory translator note and theologian review every occurrence.
Made Alive With Christ
Approved rendering: ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ସହିତ ସହ-ଜୀବିତ କରାଗଲୁ
Transliteration: Khrīṣṭaṅka sahita saha-jībita karāgalu
Doctrine: Union with Christ (Made Alive, Raised, Seated)
Rejected alternatives: ପୁନର୍ଜନ୍ମ
Original: συζωοποιέω
Category: Salvation
NEW. Eph 2:5. A once-for-all transfer from spiritual death to permanent resurrection-life through union with Christ’s own historical bodily resurrection — never a soul’s transmigration within an ongoing rebirth cycle. Mandatory translator note.
Works
Approved rendering: କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ
Transliteration: kārya
Doctrine: Salvation Not by Works
Rejected alternatives: କର୍ମ
Original: ἔργον
Category: Salvation
NEW — the single highest-priority lexical decision in the entire Ephesians package. NEVER କର୍ମ (the technical karma doctrine of cross-life moral cause-and-effect determining rebirth/moksha). Must be used identically in the negative (Eph 2:9, excluded as ground of salvation) and positive (Eph 2:10, affirmed as fruit) sense so the contrast reads as role, not vocabulary. Mandatory theologian review every occurrence.
Temple
Approved rendering: ପବିତ୍ର ନିବାସ
Transliteration: pabitra nibāsa
Doctrine: The Church as God’s Holy Temple
Rejected alternatives: ମନ୍ଦିର, ଦେଉଳ
Original: ναός
Category: Church
NEW — extends the baseline’s ମନ୍ଦିର/ଦେଉଳ prohibition into temple imagery applied to the church (Eph 2:21). Both forbidden words would directly evoke the Puri Jagannath temple. Mandatory theologian review every occurrence.
Cosmic Powers
Approved rendering: ଆଧିପତ୍ୟ, କର୍ତ୍ତୃତ୍ୱ, ଅନ୍ଧକାରର ଜଗତ-ଶାସକ, ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଆତ୍ମିକ ଶକ୍ତିଗଣ
Transliteration: ādhipatya, karttr̥tva, andhakārara jagata-śāsaka, duṣṭa ātmika śaktigaṇa
Doctrine: Spiritual Warfare
Original: ἀρχαί, ἐξουσίαι, κοσμοκράτορες, πνευματικὰ τῆς πονηρίας
Category: Spiritual Warfare
NEW. Eph 1:21; 2:2; 3:10; 6:12 — must render identically at all four occurrences. Real, personal, organized, already-defeated-yet-active evil powers under Christ’s ultimate authority; not bhuta/pisācha, not navagraha, and not a balanced dualistic cosmology. ‘ଶକ୍ତିଗଣ’ here is generic plural ‘forces,’ never a divine title. Mandatory theologian review.
Breastplate Of Righteousness
Approved rendering: ଧାର୍ମିକତାର ଛାତି-ବର୍ମ
Transliteration: dhārmikatāra chāti-barma
Doctrine: The Armor of God
Original: θώραξ δικαιοσύνης
Category: Spiritual Warfare
NEW compound built on REUSED ଧାର୍ମିକତା (Critical, never ଧର୍ମ per baseline). Eph 6:14.
Helmet Of Salvation
Approved rendering: ପରିତ୍ରାଣର ଟୋପର
Transliteration: paritrāṇara ṭopara
Doctrine: The Armor of God
Original: περικεφαλαία σωτηρίου
Category: Spiritual Warfare
NEW compound built on REUSED ପରିତ୍ରାଣ (Critical, never ମୋକ୍ଷ/ମୁକ୍ତି). Eph 6:17.
Sword Of The Spirit
Approved rendering: ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମାର ଖଣ୍ଡା
Transliteration: Pabitra Ātmāra khaṇḍā
Doctrine: The Armor of God
Original: μάχαιρα τοῦ πνεύματος
Category: Spiritual Warfare
NEW compound built on REUSED ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମା (Critical, never ପରମାତ୍ମା). Eph 6:17.
Master Human
Approved rendering: ମାଲିକ
Transliteration: mālika
Doctrine: Servants and Masters
Rejected alternatives: ପ୍ରଭୁ
Original: κύριος (human referent)
Category: Household
NEW. Eph 6:5,9. The Greek reuses κύριος for both the human slave-master and Christ as heavenly Master within the same verses; the baseline’s Critical rule reserving ପ୍ରଭୁ exclusively for Christ requires ମାଲିକ for the human referent. Render the 6:9 wordplay by paraphrase (e.g., ‘ତୁମମାନଙ୍କର ମାଲିକ ମଧ୍ୟ ସ୍ୱର୍ଗରେ ଥିବା ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଅଧୀନରେ ଅଛନ୍ତି’) rather than using ପ୍ରଭୁ for both. Mandatory theologian review.
Grieve The Spirit
Approved rendering: ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମାଙ୍କୁ ଦୁଃଖ ଦେବା
Transliteration: Pabitra Ātmāṅku duḥkha debā
Doctrine: Personhood of the Holy Spirit
Original: λυπέω
Category: God
NEW. Eph 4:30. The command not to grieve the Spirit is itself proof of personhood — only a personal being can be sorrowed; must not be softened to an impersonal life-force disturbance. Never ପରମାତ୍ମା.
Sacrifice Offering
Approved rendering: ବଳିଦାନ
Transliteration: balidāna
Doctrine: Christ’s Sacrificial Love / Offering
Rejected alternatives: ନୈବେଦ୍ୟ
Original: θυσία / προσφορά
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Eph 5:2,25. Never ନୈବେଦ୍ୟ, the specific technical term for a food-offering ritually presented to a deity (the daily bhoga offerings made to Jagannath at Puri that become mahaprasad). ବଳିଦାନ preserves a unique, once-for-all, atoning self-sacrifice, not a devotional exchange for favor. Mandatory theologian review.
High Risk Terms
Gospel
Approved rendering: ସୁସମାଚାର
Transliteration: susamācāra
Doctrine: Gospel
Rejected alternatives: ଖବର
Original: εὐαγγέλιον
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Established Odia Christian term (su- ‘good’ + samācāra ‘news’), shared in form with the wider Eastern Indian (Bengali-Odia) Christian tradition. Avoid the generic ଖବର (news). Attested in Ephesians 1:13, 3:6, 6:15,19 (‘gospel of peace’).
Grace
Approved rendering: କୃପା
Transliteration: kṛpā
Doctrine: Grace
Rejected alternatives: କର୍ମଫଳ, ପୁଣ୍ୟ
Original: χάρις
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Unmerited favor apart from human merit, distinguished from devotional grace granted in response to bhakti and ritual offering (seba) to Jagannath. Ephesians’ central soteriological term (1:6-8; 2:5-9; 3:2,7-8; 4:7); anchors the core passage’s grace/works antithesis.
Faith
Approved rendering: ବିଶ୍ୱାସ
Transliteration: biśwāsa
Doctrine: Faith
Rejected alternatives: ଭକ୍ତି
Original: πίστις
Category: Faith
Inherited from Romans package. Personal trust in Christ specifically, not the devotional-surrender sense of Odia Vaishnav bhakti practice. Attested in Ephesians 1:15, 2:8, 3:12,17, 6:16.
Called
Approved rendering: ଆହୂତ
Transliteration: āhūta
Doctrine: Divine Calling
Rejected alternatives: ନିମନ୍ତ୍ରିତ
Original: κλητός / κλῆσις
Category: Election
Inherited from Romans package. Context-sensitive per baseline. Attested in Ephesians 4:1,4 (‘the calling to which you have been called’).
Calling
Approved rendering: ଆହ୍ୱାନ
Transliteration: āhwāna
Doctrine: Divine Calling
Inherited from Romans package. Noun form paired with ଆହୂତ. Attested in Ephesians 1:18 (‘the hope of his calling’), 4:1,4.
Holy
Approved rendering: ପବିତ୍ର
Transliteration: pabitra
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: ଶୁଦ୍ଧ
Original: ἅγιος
Category: Sanctification
Inherited from Romans package. Never ଶୁଦ୍ଧ (ritual purity). Attested in Ephesians 1:4, 5:26-27.
Saints
Approved rendering: ପବିତ୍ର ଲୋକ
Transliteration: pabitra loka
Doctrine: Sainthood
Rejected alternatives: ସାଧୁ, ପଞ୍ଚସଖା
Original: ἅγιοι
Category: Church
Inherited from Romans package. Never ପଞ୍ଚସଖା. Addressed throughout Ephesians (1:1,15,18; 3:8,18; 4:12; 5:3; 6:18).
Sanctification
Approved rendering: ପବିତ୍ରୀକରଣ
Transliteration: pabitrīkaraṇa
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: ଶୁଦ୍ଧିକରଣ
Original: ἁγιάζω / ἁγιασμός (implied)
Category: Sanctification
Inherited from Romans package. Distinct from Jagannath temple ritual purity protocols. Attested in Ephesians 5:26-27 (Christ cleansing and presenting the church holy).
Adoption
Approved rendering: ପୋଷ୍ୟ ପୁତ୍ରତ୍ୱ
Transliteration: poṣya putratva
Doctrine: Adoption into God’s Family
Rejected alternatives: ପୋଷା ନେବା
Original: υἱοθεσία
Category: Election
Inherited from Romans package. Full son-status, not hereditary caste-linked seba-right family status. Attested in Ephesians 1:5.
Law
Approved rendering: ବ୍ୟବସ୍ଥା
Transliteration: byabasthā
Doctrine: Fulfillment of Prophecy
Rejected alternatives: ଧର୍ମ
Original: νόμος
Category: Covenant
Inherited from Romans package. Never ଧର୍ମ. Attested in Ephesians 2:15 (‘abolishing the law of commandments’).
Sin
Approved rendering: ପାପ
Transliteration: pāpa
Doctrine: Universal Human Accountability
Rejected alternatives: ଅଧର୍ମ
Original: ἁμαρτία
Category: Sin
Inherited from Romans package. Distinct from ଅପରାଧ (trespass, a specific act). Attested in Ephesians 2:1.
Glory
Approved rendering: ମହିମା
Transliteration: mahimā
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: ତେଜ
Original: δόξα
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package. Avoid light-only imagery merging with generic divine-radiance associations. Doxological refrain in Ephesians 1:6,12,14,17; 3:13,16,21.
Power Of God
Approved rendering: ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ସାମର୍ଥ୍ୟ
Transliteration: Parameśwaraṅka Sāmarthya
Doctrine: Power of God for Salvation
Rejected alternatives: ଶକ୍ତି
Original: δύναμις
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package. Never ଶକ୍ତି (Shakta divine-feminine collision). Attested in Ephesians 1:19; 3:7,20; 6:10, and underlying the stacked power-words of 1:19-21 (see ‘might’, ‘working_power’).
Election
Approved rendering: ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ମନୋନୟନ
Transliteration: Parameśwaraṅka Manonayana
Doctrine: Effectual Calling
Rejected alternatives: ଭାଗ୍ୟ, ନିୟତି
Original: ἐκλέγομαι
Category: Election
Inherited from Romans package. Never ଭାଗ୍ୟ/ନିୟତି; distinct from Nabakalebara’s sign-based image-selection ritual. Attested in Ephesians 1:4 (‘chose us in him’).
Providence
Approved rendering: ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ପରିଚାଳନା
Transliteration: Parameśwaraṅka Paricāḷanā
Doctrine: Providence
Rejected alternatives: ଭାଗ୍ୟ, କର୍ମର ନିୟମ
Original: πρόθεσις / βουλή
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package. Attested in Ephesians 1:11 (‘the counsel of his will’).
Covenant
Approved rendering: ନିୟମ
Transliteration: niyama
Doctrine: Davidic Covenant
Rejected alternatives: ଚୁକ୍ତି
Original: διαθήκη
Category: Covenant
Inherited from Romans package. Never ଚୁକ୍ତି. Attested in Ephesians 2:12 (‘covenants of promise’).
Seal Of Spirit
Approved rendering: ମୋହରାଙ୍କିତ
Transliteration: moharāṅkita
Doctrine: Sealing and Guarantee of the Spirit
Original: σφραγίζω
Category: Election
NEW. God’s own act of ownership-marking (Eph 1:13; 4:30), distinct from visible ritual body-marking such as Vaishnav tilaka applied by the devotee.
Spiritual Death
Approved rendering: ମୃତ
Transliteration: mr̥ta
Doctrine: Spiritual Death and Total Inability
Original: νεκρός
Category: Salvation
NEW. Total, not partial, spiritual inability (Eph 2:1,5); the entire logic of the core passage depends on this being read as universal deadness, not poetic exaggeration.
Wrath Of God
Approved rendering: କ୍ରୋଧ
Transliteration: krodha
Doctrine: Wrath of God and Universal Sinfulness
Original: ὀργή
Category: God
NEW. God’s personal, settled, judicial displeasure against sin (Eph 2:3; 5:6), not the impersonal cause-and-effect mechanism of karmic retribution many Odia readers might otherwise default to.
Raised Seated With Christ
Approved rendering: ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଉଠାଗଲୁ ଓ ବସାଗଲୁ
Transliteration: Khrīṣṭaṅka sahita uṭhāgalu o basāgalu
Doctrine: Union with Christ (Made Alive, Raised, Seated)
Original: συνεγείρω / συγκαθίζω
Category: Salvation
NEW. Eph 2:6. Conveys an already-secured position of honor, not a future hoped-for reward pending further merit.
Heavenly Places
Approved rendering: ସ୍ୱର୍ଗୀୟ ସ୍ଥାନ
Transliteration: swargīya sthāna
Doctrine: Union with Christ (Made Alive, Raised, Seated)
Original: ἐπουράνιος
Category: Salvation
NEW. Eph 1:3,20; 2:6; 3:10; 6:12. Sharp collision: Hindu Swarga is a temporary, merit-exhaustible heaven from which a soul eventually falls. Paul’s ‘heavenly places’ is Christ’s permanent, secure domain shared with believers. Mandatory translator note.
Head
Approved rendering: ମୁଣ୍ଡ / ଶିର
Transliteration: muṇḍa / śira
Doctrine: Christ’s Headship over the Church
Original: κεφαλή
Category: Church
NEW. Eph 1:22; 4:15; 5:23. Must convey organic, life-giving, nourishing headship, not domination — the interpretive key for the household-codes headship application.
Fullness
Approved rendering: ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣତା
Transliteration: pūrṇatā
Doctrine: Fullness of Christ in the Church
Original: πλήρωμα
Category: Church
NEW. Eph 1:23; 3:19; 4:13. ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣତା risks collapsing into the impersonal Vedantic ‘purnam’ (Brahman’s undifferentiated totality). Paul’s use is relational/incarnational — a personal Christ filling his own body. Mandatory translator note.
Dwelling Place Of God
Approved rendering: ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ବାସସ୍ଥାନ
Transliteration: Parameśwaraṅka bāsasthāna
Doctrine: The Church as God’s Holy Temple
Rejected alternatives: ମନ୍ଦିର, ଦେଉଳ
Original: κατοικητήριον
Category: Church
NEW. Eph 2:22. Same rationale as ‘temple’ above.
Dividing Wall
Approved rendering: ବିଭାଜନର କାନ୍ଥ
Transliteration: bibhājanara kāntha
Doctrine: Abolition of the Dividing Wall
Original: μεσότοιχον τοῦ φραγμοῦ
Category: Unity
NEW. Eph 2:14. Resonates with the historic exclusion of non-Hindus/certain castes from the Puri sanctum; usable as a sensitive illustrative bridge, but Christ’s abolition must be stated as total and permanent, exceeding any partial local caste-crossing practice (cf. Ananda Bazaar).
One New Man
Approved rendering: ଏକ ନୂତନ ମନୁଷ୍ୟ
Transliteration: eka nūtana manuṣya
Doctrine: Unity of Jews and Gentiles in One New Humanity
Original: καινὸς ἄνθρωπος
Category: Unity
NEW. Eph 2:15. A genuinely third, unified reality; must not be read as either group absorbed/erased into the other; avoid ପୁନର୍ଜନ୍ମ-adjacent vocabulary since this is corporate new-creation, not personal rebirth.
Reconciliation
Approved rendering: ମିଳନ ସ୍ଥାପନ କରିବା
Transliteration: militana sthāpana karibā
Doctrine: Unity of Jews and Gentiles in One New Humanity
Original: ἀποκαταλλάσσω
Category: Unity
NEW. Eph 2:16. Restoration to right relationship achieved once by Christ, not through repeated ritual atonement.
Access
Approved rendering: ପ୍ରବେଶ / ସାହସ
Transliteration: prabeśa / sāhasa
Doctrine: Access to the Father
Original: προσαγωγή / παρρησία
Category: Unity
NEW. Eph 2:18; 3:12. Direct, unmediated access to God through Christ and the Spirit — not access gained through a temple priest/intermediary (pandaa/sevayat) or restricted past a sanctum threshold.
Mystery Of Christ
Approved rendering: ରହସ୍ୟ
Transliteration: rahasya
Doctrine: The Mystery of Christ Revealed
Original: μυστήριον
Category: Mystery
NEW. Eph 1:9; 3:3-9; 5:32; 6:19. ରହସ୍ୟ also names esoteric/tantric secrets withheld from the uninitiated (guru-diksha); Paul’s μυστήριον is the opposite — a truth once hidden by God, now fully and publicly disclosed to all believers. Mandatory translator note every occurrence.
Manifold Wisdom
Approved rendering: ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ବିବିଧ ଜ୍ଞାନ
Transliteration: Parameśwaraṅka bibidha jñāna
Doctrine: God’s Manifold Wisdom Displayed Through the Church
Original: πολυποίκιλος σοφία
Category: Mystery
NEW. Eph 3:10. ଜ୍ଞାନ carries jñāna-marga philosophical weight (one of the Gita’s three paths to liberation); must anchor to God’s own revealed wisdom shown through the church, not self-attained contemplative enlightenment.
Prince Of Power Of Air
Approved rendering: ଆକାଶ ମଣ୍ଡଳର ଅଧିପତି
Transliteration: ākāśa maṇḍalara adhipati
Doctrine: Spiritual Warfare
Original: ἄρχων τῆς ἐξουσίας τοῦ ἀέρος
Category: Spiritual Warfare
NEW. Eph 2:2. Must be a real, personal, ultimately defeated evil being under Christ’s authority — not one of many aerial spirits, bhuta/pisācha, or planetary deities (graha) placated through navagraha/Shani propitiation.
Might
Approved rendering: ପରାକ୍ରମ
Transliteration: parākrama
Doctrine: Spiritual Warfare
Rejected alternatives: ଶକ୍ତି
Original: κράτος
Category: God
NEW. Eph 1:19; 6:10 (κράτος). Never render with ଶକ୍ତି as a divine title (Shakta-tradition collision); used only in the ordinary sense of dominant might, stacked with δύναμις and ἐνέργεια for emphasis.
Working Power
Approved rendering: କାର୍ଯ୍ୟଶୀଳ ସାମର୍ଥ୍ୟ
Transliteration: kāryaśīla sāmarthya
Doctrine: Spiritual Warfare
Rejected alternatives: ଶକ୍ତି
Original: ἐνέργεια
Category: God
NEW. Eph 1:19; 3:7; 4:16 (ἐνέργεια). Same ଶକ୍ତି caution as ‘might’ above.
Armor Of God
Approved rendering: ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ବର୍ମ
Transliteration: Parameśwaraṅka sampūrṇṇa barma
Doctrine: The Armor of God
Original: πανοπλία
Category: Spiritual Warfare
NEW. Eph 6:11,13. Defensive equipping for standing firm, given by God, never glorified martial valor (vīra rasa) from regional epic tradition (Arjuna’s celestial astras) or triumphalist warrior-deity imagery (Durga/Kali); extends the baseline’s Rath Yatra triumphal-procession caution.
Shield Of Faith
Approved rendering: ବିଶ୍ୱାସର ଢାଲ
Transliteration: biśwāsara ḍhāla
Doctrine: The Armor of God
Original: θυρεὸς πίστεως
Category: Spiritual Warfare
NEW compound built on REUSED ବିଶ୍ୱାସ (High, never ଭକ୍ତି). Eph 6:16.
Submit
Approved rendering: ଅଧୀନ ହେବା
Transliteration: adhīna hebā
Doctrine: Household Codes and Christ-Centered Relationships
Original: ὑποτάσσω
Category: Household
NEW. Eph 5:21,22,24. Must be taught within its full context — mutual submission ‘to one another’ (5:21) and husbands’ call to Christlike self-sacrificial love (5:25) — not isolated into generic hierarchical subordination, nor conflated with jajmani-seba caste-service structures.
Pastor
Approved rendering: ପାଲକ
Transliteration: pālaka
Doctrine: Gifts for Building Up the Church
Original: ποιμήν
Category: Gifts
NEW. Eph 4:11. Shepherd/cowherd imagery resonates with Krishna as Govinda/Gopala, central to the wider Vaishnav tradition Jagannath is theologically identified with. Not forbidden, but must be anchored explicitly to Christ’s own shepherd self-identification (cf. John 10), not left to default to regional bhakti association.
Maturity
Approved rendering: ପରିପକ୍ୱ ପୁରୁଷ
Transliteration: paripakwa puruṣa
Doctrine: Christian Maturity
Rejected alternatives: ସିଦ୍ଧ ପୁରୁଷ
Original: ἀνὴρ τέλειος
Category: Gifts
NEW. Eph 4:13. Never ସିଦ୍ଧ (a heavily loaded yogic term for a perfected being who attains supernatural powers/liberation through disciplined practice). Ephesians’ maturity is corporate, ongoing, grace-dependent Christlikeness, not an individually attained siddhi.
Old New Self
Approved rendering: ପୁରାତନ ମନୁଷ୍ୟ / ନୂତନ ମନୁଷ୍ୟ
Transliteration: purātana manuṣya / nūtana manuṣya
Doctrine: Putting Off the Old Self, Putting On the New
Original: παλαιὸς ἄνθρωπος / καινὸς ἄνθρωπος
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Eph 4:22-24. Must be clearly figurative — inward moral-spiritual transformation of the same person within one life — never assimilated to reincarnation imagery (an old body discarded for a literally new one).
Impurity
Approved rendering: ଅପବିତ୍ରତା
Transliteration: apabitratā
Doctrine: Walking in Newness of Life
Rejected alternatives: ଅଶୁଚିତା
Original: ἀκαθαρσία
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Eph 5:3,5. Never ଅଶୁଚିତା, which reads as ritual impurity requiring ceremonial cleansing (relevant to temple purity protocols); this is moral-relational defilement addressed by repentance and the Spirit’s sanctifying work.
Filled With Spirit
Approved rendering: ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମାରେ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ହେବା
Transliteration: Pabitra Ātmāre pūrṇṇa hebā
Doctrine: Being Filled with the Spirit
Original: πληρόω πνεύματι
Category: Sanctification
NEW compound built on REUSED ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମା. Eph 5:18. Ongoing, Spirit-controlled fullness contrasted with drunkenness, not a one-time ecstatic trance/possession experience found in some folk-devotional practice.
Medium Risk Terms
Apostle
Approved rendering: ପ୍ରେରିତ
Transliteration: prerita
Doctrine: Apostleship
Rejected alternatives: ଗୁରୁ
Original: ἀπόστολος
Category: Church
Inherited from Romans package. Never ଗୁରୁ. Attested in Ephesians 1:1, 2:20, 3:5, 4:11.
Peace
Approved rendering: ଶାନ୍ତି
Transliteration: śānti
Doctrine: Peace with God
Rejected alternatives: ମନ ଶାନ୍ତି
Original: εἰρήνη
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Relational, not ritual calm. Central to Ephesians 2:14-17 (Christ ‘is our peace,’ abolishing Jew-Gentile hostility), 4:3, 6:15,23.
Spiritual Gifts
Approved rendering: ଆତ୍ମିକ ଦାନ
Transliteration: ātmika dāna
Doctrine: Spiritual Gifts
Rejected alternatives: ବର
Original: δόματα / δωρεά
Category: Church
Inherited from Romans package. Never ବର alone (a deity’s merit-earned boon). Attested in Ephesians 4:7-11 (Christ’s gifts of ministry offices).
Church
Approved rendering: ମଣ୍ଡଳୀ
Transliteration: maṇḍaḷī
Doctrine: Church as God’s People
Rejected alternatives: ମନ୍ଦିର, ଦେଉଳ
Original: ἐκκλησία
Category: Church
Inherited from Romans package. Never ମନ୍ଦିର or ଦେଉଳ (names for the Puri Jagannath temple). Central term throughout Ephesians (1:22; 3:10,21; 5:23-32).
Kingdom Of God
Approved rendering: ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ରାଜ୍ୟ
Transliteration: Parameśwaraṅka Rājya
Doctrine: Kingdom Mission
Original: βασιλεία τοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ θεοῦ

Mission
Approved rendering: ମିଶନ / ସୁସମାଚାର ପ୍ରଚାର
Transliteration: miśana / susamācāra pracāra
Doctrine: Mission to the Nations
Original: πρεσβεύω / ἀποστολή
Category: Church
Inherited from Romans package. Attested in Ephesians 3:7-9 and 6:19-20 (Paul as ambassador).
Israel

Transliteration: Isrāela
Doctrine: Unity of Jews and Gentiles
Original: Ἰσραήλ
Category: Covenant
Inherited from Romans package. Attested in Ephesians 2:12 (‘commonwealth of Israel’).
Purpose
Approved rendering: ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ୟ
Transliteration: uddeśya
Doctrine: Election and Predestination in Christ
Original: πρόθεσις
Category: Election
NEW. God’s deliberate personal intention (Eph 1:11; 3:11), not impersonal cosmic order.
Good Pleasure
Approved rendering: ମଙ୍ଗଳ ଇଚ୍ଛା
Transliteration: maṅgaḷa icchā
Doctrine: Election and Predestination in Christ
Original: εὐδοκία
Category: Election
NEW. God’s freely-willed, benevolent delight underlying predestination (Eph 1:5,9); must not read as a capricious or arbitrary decree.
Inheritance
Approved rendering: ଉତ୍ତରାଧିକାର
Transliteration: uttarādhikāra
Doctrine: Election and Predestination in Christ
Original: κληρονομία
Category: Election
NEW. Secured by grace/adoption (Eph 1:11,14,18), not hereditary caste-linked succession such as the Puri temple’s hereditary seba rights.
Blessing
Approved rendering: ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦ
Transliteration: āśīrbāda
Doctrine: Election and Predestination in Christ
Original: εὐλογία
Category: Election
NEW. Every spiritual blessing given in Christ (Eph 1:3). ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦ is standard for blessing conferred by elders, gurus, and deities in response to devotion; must be anchored explicitly to God’s unilateral initiative ‘in Christ.‘
Trespass
Approved rendering: ଅପରାଧ
Transliteration: aparādha
Doctrine: Spiritual Death and Total Inability
Rejected alternatives: ଅଧର୍ମ
Original: παράπτωμα
Category: Sin
NEW. A specific act of transgression, deliberately distinct from ପାପ (sin, the general condition), preserving Paul’s rhetorical doubling at Eph 2:1,5; 1:7.
Gift Of God
Approved rendering: ଦାନ
Transliteration: dāna
Doctrine: Grace
Original: δῶρον
Category: Salvation
NEW. Eph 2:8. ଦାନ is also the dharmashastra term for meritorious charitable giving; direction differs sharply here (God gives, believer undeservedly receives, no reciprocal merit). Gloss ‘ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ଦାନ’ recommended at first occurrence.
Workmanship
Approved rendering: ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ହସ୍ତକୃତ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ
Transliteration: Parameśwaraṅka hastakr̥ta kārya
Doctrine: Salvation Not by Works
Original: ποίημα
Category: Salvation
NEW. Eph 2:10. Reinforces that good works are God’s own creative product in the believer, not the believer’s self-achievement.
Walk
Approved rendering: ଆଚରଣ କରିବା
Transliteration: ācaraṇa karibā
Doctrine: Walking in Newness of Life
Original: περιπατέω
Category: Sanctification
NEW — cross-cutting verb (περιπατέω), one stable rendering required across all seven occurrences: Eph 2:2,10; 4:1,17; 5:2,8,15. Risk: an Odia reader steeped in karma-based ethics may hear ‘conduct’ as merit-accumulating ritual observance rather than the fruit of a completed salvation.
Body Of Christ
Approved rendering: ଶରୀର
Transliteration: śarīra
Doctrine: The Church as the Body of Christ
Original: σῶμα
Category: Church
NEW. Organic living union under Christ’s headship (Eph 1:23; 4:4,12,16; 5:23,30), not a discardable physical shell, and not the graded, birth-ranked limbs of the Purusha Sukta cosmic-body image.
Household Of God
Approved rendering: ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ପରିବାର
Transliteration: Parameśwaraṅka paribāra
Doctrine: Unity of Jews and Gentiles in One New Humanity
Original: οἰκεῖοι τοῦ θεοῦ
Category: Church

Fellow Heirs
Approved rendering: ସହ-ଉତ୍ତରାଧିକାରୀ
Transliteration: saha-uttarādhikārī
Doctrine: Unity of Jews and Gentiles in One New Humanity
Original: συγκληρονόμος
Category: Unity
NEW. Eph 3:6. Built on the established ଉତ୍ତରାଧିକାର root.
Fellow Members
Approved rendering: ସହ-ଶରୀରର ଅଙ୍ଗ / ସହଭାଗୀ
Transliteration: saha-śarīrara aṅga / sahabhāgī
Doctrine: Unity of Jews and Gentiles in One New Humanity
Original: σύσσωμος / συμμέτοχος
Category: Unity
NEW. Eph 3:6. Built on established ଶରୀର and ସହଭାଗିତା roots.
Circumcision Uncircumcision
Approved rendering: ସୁନ୍ନତ / ଅସୁନ୍ନତ
Transliteration: sunnata / asunnata
Doctrine: Unity of Jews and Gentiles in One New Humanity
Original: περιτομή / ἀκροβυστία
Category: Unity
NEW. Eph 2:11. Historical/ritual referent specific to Jewish-Gentile identity; should not be conflated with any Odia ritual purity marker.
Revealed
Approved rendering: ପ୍ରକାଶିତ ହେବା
Transliteration: prakāśita hebā
Doctrine: The Mystery of Christ Revealed
Original: ἀποκαλύπτω
Category: Mystery
NEW. Eph 3:5. Supports the ‘now revealed’ emphasis distinguishing μυστήριον from an ongoing esoteric secret.
Stewardship
Approved rendering: ପରିଚାଳନା ଦାୟିତ୍ୱ
Transliteration: paricāḷanā dāyitva
Doctrine: The Mystery of Christ Revealed
Original: οἰκονομία
Category: Mystery
NEW. Eph 1:10; 3:2,9. Chosen to avoid confusion with ବ୍ୟବସ୍ଥା (law/Torah, REUSED) despite the shared sense of ‘ordered administration.‘
Struggle
Approved rendering: ସଂଘର୍ଷ
Transliteration: saṅgharṣa
Doctrine: The Armor of God
Original: πάλη
Category: Spiritual Warfare
NEW. Eph 6:12 (πάλη). Standard wrestling/combat term; must retain the personal, close-quarters sense, not a distant battle of armies.
Bondservant
Approved rendering: ଦାସ
Transliteration: dāsa
Doctrine: Servants and Masters
Original: δοῦλος
Category: Household
NEW. Eph 6:5-8. ଦାସ is also the standard Vaishnav bhakti self-designation (dāsya-bhāva; poet-saint Jagannath Das’s own name). May be leveraged as a positive bridge, but the passage’s literal socio-economic referent (household servant) must not be spiritualized away.
Fear Reverence
Approved rendering: ଭୟ
Transliteration: bhaya
Doctrine: Household Codes and Christ-Centered Relationships
Original: φόβος
Category: Household
NEW. Eph 5:21,33; 6:5. Avoid pairing with ଭକ୍ତି (bhakti), which carries devotional-surrender connotations distinct from this relational reverence.

Approved rendering: ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମାର ଏକତା
Transliteration: Pabitra Ātmāra ekatā
Doctrine: Unity of the Spirit
Original: ἑνότης τοῦ πνεύματος

Bond Of Peace
Approved rendering: ଶାନ୍ତିର ବନ୍ଧନ
Transliteration: śāntira bandhana
Doctrine: Unity of the Spirit
Original: σύνδεσμος τῆς εἰρήνης
Category: Gifts
NEW. Eph 4:3. Standard binding-relationship metaphor.
Teacher
Approved rendering: ଶିକ୍ଷକ
Transliteration: śikṣaka
Doctrine: Gifts for Building Up the Church
Rejected alternatives: ଗୁରୁ
Original: διδάσκαλος
Category: Gifts
NEW. Eph 4:11. Chosen deliberately over ଗୁରୁ, continuing the baseline’s apostle-caution that ଗୁରୁ implies self-attained teaching authority rather than a Spirit-given, Christ-appointed office.
Renewed Mind
Approved rendering: ନୂତନୀକୃତ
Transliteration: nūtanīkr̥ta
Doctrine: Putting Off the Old Self, Putting On the New
Original: ἀνανεόω
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Eph 4:23. Ongoing Spirit-worked inner renewal, not self-directed moral self-improvement.
Children Of Light
Approved rendering: ଆଲୋକର ସନ୍ତାନ
Transliteration: āloka ra santāna
Doctrine: Walking as Children of Light
Original: τέκνα φωτός
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Eph 5:8. General light metaphors are widely shared in Odia religious speech (diya/arati lamps, jyoti); should not be conflated with ମହିମା (glory), kept distinct for separate doctrinal reasons.
Flesh
Approved rendering: ଶରୀର / ମାଂସିକ ପ୍ରକୃତି
Transliteration: śarīra / māṃsika prakr̥ti
Doctrine: Spiritual Death and Total Inability
Original: σάρξ
Category: Sin
NEW. Eph 2:3 (fallen human nature), 2:14 (Christ’s real human nature). Must convey fallen human nature, not the body itself as evil — avoid echoing body-denying asceticism found in some Hindu renunciate traditions.
Sons Of Disobedience
Approved rendering: ଅନାଜ୍ଞାବହ ସନ୍ତାନ
Transliteration: anājñābaha santāna
Doctrine: Wrath of God and Universal Sinfulness
Original: υἱοὶ τῆς ἀπειθείας
Category: Sin
NEW, built on the ଆଜ୍ଞାବହତା root already established for ‘obedience of faith’ in the Romans baseline. Eph 2:2; 5:6.
This Age
Approved rendering: ଜଗତର ଧାରା / ଏହି ଯୁଗ
Transliteration: jagatara dhārā / ehi yuga
Doctrine: Spiritual Warfare
Original: αἰών
Category: Kingdom
NEW. Eph 1:21; 2:2,7; 6:12. Must be distinguished from Hindu yuga-cycle cosmology (Satya/Kali Yuga, cyclically degenerating and renewed); Ephesians’ ‘this age’ vs. ‘the age to come’ is linear, terminating in Christ’s return, not a wheel.
Love Of God
Approved rendering: ପ୍ରେମ
Transliteration: prema
Doctrine: God
Original: ἀγάπη
Category: God
NEW. Eph 1:4; 2:4; 3:17-19; 5:2,25. Must be distinguished from the romantic-devotional viraha/prema-bhakti vocabulary of Krishna-devotion prominent in Odia Vaishnav/Panchasakha literature; God’s love here is unilateral and unmerited, not mutual longing-love cultivated through ritual devotion.
Low Risk Terms

Original: ὑπερβάλλον πλοῦτος

Transliteration: koṇa prastara
