Doctrine: Inspiration and Sufficiency of Scripture
Rejected alternatives: evolução espiritual através de reencarnações sucessivas

Doctrine: Lordship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: Senhor apenas em sentido devocional, sem reivindicação de senhorio total
Original: κύριος

Inherited from Romans package. Part of the letter’s opening greeting (1:2).

---

Jesus

Original: θεός
Category: God

Inherited from Romans package. Invoked as witness to Paul’s solemn charge (4:1).

Resurrection

Approved rendering: ressurreição
Transliteration: anastasis
Doctrine: Resurrection of Christ
Rejected alternatives: reencarnação
Original: ἀνάστασις
Category: Eschatology

Inherited from Romans package. NEVER ‘reencarnação.’ 2 Timothy 2:8 (Christ’s own resurrection) and 2:18 (the condemned false teaching that ‘the resurrection has already happened’) are the letter’s two load-bearing occurrences.

Approved rendering: encarnação
Transliteration: ho logos sarx egeneto

Rejected alternatives: encarnação como uma entre muitas vidas sucessivas de um espírito (sentido espírita)

---

Imputed Righteousness

Approved rendering: justiça imputada
Transliteration: elogisthē autō eis dikaiosynēn
Doctrine: Assurance of Reward
Rejected alternatives: justiça infundida (categoria tridentina), justiça conquistada por mérito próprio ao longo de vidas sucessivas

Transliteration: theopneustos
Doctrine: Inspiration and Sufficiency of Scripture
Rejected alternatives: revelada por espíritos, qualquer formulação compatível com psicografia
Original: θεόπνευστος
Category: Scripture

2 Timothy 3:16. The single most load-bearing term in the curriculum’s core passage. Direct collision with mainstream Brazilian Kardecist psicografia (mediumistic dictation of texts, e.g. O Livro dos Espíritos). Requires an explicit teaching note distinguishing Scripture’s unique, closed, apostolic-canonical inspiration from ongoing mediumistic ‘inspiration’ claims on every occurrence.

---

Original: οὐ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα ἡμῶν ἀλλὰ κατὰ ἰδίαν πρόθεσιν καὶ χάριν
Category: Salvation

2 Timothy 1:9. The letter’s sharpest grace/works contrast; must be treated with the same weight as the baseline’s Romans 4/11:5-6 grace-works passages.

Approved rendering: Salvador
Transliteration: sōtēr
Doctrine: Deity and Saviorhood of Christ
Rejected alternatives: guia espiritual mais evoluído (Cristologia espírita)
Original: σωτήρ
Category: Christology

2 Timothy 1:10. Must be taught in direct contrast to Kardecist Christology, which frames Jesus as the most morally evolved spirit and exemplary guide rather than the unique divine Savior who accomplishes, not models, salvation.

Transliteration: katargēsantos ton thanaton
Doctrine: Resurrection of Christ
Rejected alternatives: venceu a morte gradualmente ao longo de vidas sucessivas
Original: καταργήσαντος τὸν θάνατον

---

Life And Immortality

Approved rendering: vida e imortalidade
Transliteration: zōēn kai aphtharsian
Doctrine: Immortality Secured in Christ
Rejected alternatives: imortalidade natural e inerente do espírito
Original: ζωὴν καὶ ἀφθαρσίαν
Category: Eschatology

2 Timothy 1:10. Direct terminological collision with Kardecism’s doctrine of the spirit’s natural, inherent immortality across successive reincarnations. Must be taught as a gift revealed and secured through the gospel, not an innate soul-property, every occurrence.

Doctrine: Apostasy and False Teachers in the Last Days
Rejected alternatives: leitura neutra ou alternativa legítima da ressurreição
Original: τὴν ἀνάστασιν ἤδη γεγονέναι
Category: Apostasy

2 Timothy 2:18. The New Testament’s own precedent of false teachers spiritualizing away future bodily resurrection, directly resonant with the modern Kardecist reinterpretation of resurrection as reincarnation. Must be flagged as condemned error, never a neutral alternative reading.

---

Servant Of The Lord

Approved rendering: servo do Senhor
Transliteration: doulos kyriou
Doctrine: Lordship of Christ

2 Timothy 2:24. Risk carried via ‘Senhor’ (see ‘lord’ entry above).

Transliteration: ho tēs dikaiosynēs stephanos
Doctrine: Assurance of Reward
Rejected alternatives: prêmio conquistado por mérito acumulado ao longo de vidas sucessivas
Original: ὁ τῆς δικαιοσύνης στέφανος
Category: Reward

2 Timothy 4:8. Same weight as ‘imputed_righteousness’: this reward flows from grace and the finished work already described in 1:9, not from merit accumulated through the believer’s own effort across this or successive lives.

---

Lord Stood By Me

Approved rendering: o Senhor esteve ao meu lado e me deu forças
Transliteration: ho kyrios moi parestē kai enedynamōsen me
Doctrine: Lordship of Christ

Rejected alternatives: mensagem de evolução moral (Kardecist ethical-progress framing)
Original: εὐαγγέλιον

Transliteration: charis
Doctrine: Grace and Works in Calling and Salvation
Rejected alternatives: mérito espiritual acumulado ao longo de vidas sucessivas
Original: χάρις
Category: Salvation

Doctrine: Divine Calling and Election
Rejected alternatives: mérito conquistado ao longo de reencarnações
Original: ἐκλεκτοί / ἐκλογή
Category: Salvation

Providence

Approved rendering: providência
Transliteration: pronoia
Doctrine: The Judgment of the Living and the Dead
Rejected alternatives: lei de causa e efeito espírita (regência cármica das reencarnações)

---

Sanctification

Approved rendering: santificação
Transliteration: hagiasmos
Doctrine: Sanctification and Self-Purification
Rejected alternatives: purificação cármica ao longo de reencarnações (leitura espírita)

Doctrine: Inspiration and Sufficiency of Scripture
Rejected alternatives: textos sagrados em sentido genérico, incluindo psicografia
Original: τὰ ἱερὰ γράμματα

2 Timothy 3:15. Must denote a closed, already-existing corpus known from infancy, never extended to ongoing ‘living revelation’ claims.

---

All Scripture

Approved rendering: toda a Escritura
Transliteration: pasa graphē
Doctrine: Inspiration and Sufficiency of Scripture
Original: πᾶσα γραφή
Category: Scripture

2 Timothy 3:16. The doctrine of sufficiency this launches is undercut if any competing ‘scripture’ (e.g., O Livro dos Espíritos) is implicitly treated as parallel authority.

---

Teaching Doctrine

Approved rendering: ensino / doutrina
Transliteration: didaskalia / didachē
Doctrine: Guarding Sound Doctrine
Original: διδασκαλία / διδαχή
Category: Doctrine

2 Timothy 3:16, 4:2-3. Must be kept terminologically distinct from generic ‘religious teaching,’ given competing organized ‘doutrinas’ (Kardecist, Umbanda/Candomblé, prosperity-gospel movements) in Brazil.

---

Complete Equipped

Approved rendering: perfeito e plenamente equipado
Transliteration: artios / exērtismenos
Doctrine: Inspiration and Sufficiency of Scripture
Rejected alternatives: aperfeiçoado gradualmente (leitura espírita de aperfeiçoamento ao longo de reencarnações)

Approved rendering: os vivos e os mortos
Transliteration: zōntas kai nekrous
Doctrine: The Judgment of the Living and the Dead
Original: ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς
Category: Eschatology

2 Timothy 4:1. Must preserve a clean, decisive living/dead distinction; mainstream Brazilian Kardecism treats ‘os mortos’ as communicable discarnate spirits, not a sealed category.

Appearing

Approved rendering: aparecimento
Transliteration: epiphaneia
Doctrine: Assurance of Reward
Rejected alternatives: manifestação (isolada, sem qualificação)
Original: ἐπιφάνεια
Category: Eschatology

2 Timothy 1:10, 4:1, 4:8. Prefer ‘aparecimento’ over ‘manifestação’ to avoid overlap with Kardecist/Candomblé-Umbanda vocabulary for spirit or orixá manifestation through a medium; pair with ‘de Cristo’ and note of singular bodily return.

Doctrine: The Charge to Preach the Word
Rejected alternatives: falar sobre (generic public speaking)
Original: κήρυξον (κηρύσσω)

Rejected alternatives: mensagem genérica ou canalizada
Original: τὸν λόγον

Myths

Approved rendering: mitos / fábulas
