Passage

Romans 5

• Doctrine

  Faith

  Personal trust in Christ specifically; not generalized devotional reverence (ਸ਼ਰਧਾ) or Sufi-idiom steadfastness (ਸਿਦਕ).

  ROM.5.1-2

• Glossary Term

  Faith

  The Punjabi Bible Society's standard rendering: personal trust in Christ.

  ROM.5.1-2

• Doctrine

  Grace

  Sikh ਕਿਰਪਾ/ਨਦਰ theology is genuinely gift-oriented, unlike Hindu karma-merit, but is received through the Guru's mediation and Naam-simran rather than through faith in Christ alone; every occurrence must keep the source of grace explicitly Christ-centered.

  ROM.5.2, ROM.5.15-17, ROM.5.20-21

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  Sikh theology already has a developed grace vocabulary (ਕਿਰਪਾ/ਨਦਰ, God's gracious glance) that is genuinely gift-like, unlike Hindu karma-merit accounting — but Sikh kirpa is received through the Guru's mediation and a life of Naam-simran (meditation on the divine Name), not through faith in Christ's atoning work alone.

  ROM.5.2, ROM.5.15-17, ROM.5.20-21

• Glossary Term

  Peace

  In Romans 5:1, relational peace with God through justification.

  ROM.5.1

  Peace with God

  Relational, covenantal peace secured through justification, not the meditative equipoise (ਸਹਿਜ) attained through Naam-simran.
