Romans 14

• Glossary Term

  Exhort

  Context-sensitive: نصیحت کردن (nasihat kardan, to admonish) for beseeching; تشویق کردن (to encourage) for building up.

  ROM.14.19

• Glossary Term

  Jesus

  CRITICAL, but for a different reason than Arabic: unlike Arabic, Persian Christian Bible tradition itself (Tarjome Ghadeem, Mojdeh) has always used 'Isa Masih,' with no live, competing 'Yeshua'-style alternative in circulation - there is no naming controversy in Persian the way there is in Arabic.

  ROM.14.9

• Doctrine

  Kingdom Mission

  God's spiritual reign advancing through the gospel, distinct from Iran's own explicitly religious-political state structure (Velayat-e Faqih).

  ROM.14.17

• Glossary Term

  Kingdom Of God

  Distinguish God's present spiritual reign from any political state, given Iran's own explicitly religious-political governing system (Velayat-e Faqih).

  ROM.14.17

• Glossary Term

  Lord

  CRITICAL: unlike Arabic's al-Rabb, Khodavand derives from a native pre-Islamic Persian word (Middle Persian 'khwatay') rather than a specific Quranic title, so the collision here is less about 'borrowing the Quran's own word' and more about the underlying tawhid objection to ascribing supreme, exclusive Lordship to a human-born man.

  ROM.14.9

• Doctrine

  Lordship of Christ

  CRITICAL: Khodavand is a native pre-Islamic word rather than a Quranic title, so the collision is less about borrowing sacred vocabulary and more about the core tawhid objection to ascribing supreme Lordship to a human-born man.

  ROM.14.9

• Doctrine

  Mutual Edification

  Building one another up in faith; no significant doctrinal risk.

  ROM.14.19

• Doctrine

  Thanksgiving

  Shukr is also a major Islamic virtue; broadly compatible, low risk.

  ROM.14.6

• Glossary Term

  Thanksgiving

  Shukr is also a major Islamic virtue category; broadly compatible, low risk.
