Passage

Romans 13

• Glossary Term

  Justification

  Compound phrase required for the forensic, declared-righteous sense; never abbreviate to ਮਾਫ਼ੀ (forgiveness) alone, which loses the legal-declaration dimension.

  ROM.13.11

• Glossary Term

  Righteousness

  CRITICAL: NEVER use ਧਰਮ.

  ROM.13.11

• Doctrine

  Salvation

  CRITICAL AND DISTINCT FROM OTHER LANGUAGES IN THIS PIPELINE: the established Punjabi Bible tradition already uses ਮੁਕਤੀ, the same word Sikh theology uses for liberation from the transmigration cycle and merger with Waheguru.

  ROM.13.11

• Glossary Term

  Salvation

  CRITICAL AND DISTINCT FROM OTHER LANGUAGES: unlike Hindi, where मुक्ति is rejected outright, the established Punjabi Bible translation tradition itself already uses ਮੁਕਤੀ for salvation, and generations of Punjabi Christians know this word from hymns and preaching.
