Romans 13

• Glossary Term

  Justification

  CRITICAL: compound phrase required.

  ROM.13.11

• Glossary Term

  Righteousness

  CRITICAL: the deeper risk is not a wrong word but a framework mismatch - Pashtun culture is a strong honor-shame culture, not a guilt-innocence culture.

  ROM.13.11

• Doctrine

  Salvation

  CRITICAL: beyond the shared deeds-weighing framework, Pashtunwali's badal (revenge) code suggests wrongs are repaid by punishing the wrongdoer; the customary institution of nanawatai (accepted ritual submission in place of retaliation) is a real, positive cultural bridge for substitutionary atonement and should be invoked explicitly.

  ROM.13.11

• Glossary Term

  Salvation

  CRITICAL: beyond the shared Islamic deeds-weighing framework, Pashtunwali's badal (revenge) code operates on a cyclical debt-for-debt logic that could suggest a wrong must be repaid by punishing the wrongdoer directly.
