Cross-Reference Analysis
Cross-Reference Analysis — 2 Peter (Full Book) for Romanian Translation
Purpose and Method
This document maps every Old Testament quotation and allusion, every New Testament parallel, all messianic references, and all typological patterns in 2 Peter 1–3, and cross-checks them against the Romans Language Package baseline (translation_memory.json, bible_term_registry.json, doctrine_risk_registry.json) to establish rendering-consistency rules for terms and quotations shared between the two curricula. Citations use normalizable English-book-name format (e.g., “Genesis 15:6”, “Romans 2:4”) for internal cross-referencing; §1 below fixes the Romanian Orthodox Synodal citation form each maps to, per the baseline’s citation convention (12_ai_translation_requirements.md, Cross-Reference Preservation Rules).

§2. Cross-Reference Matrix — Chapter 1
| Passage (2 Peter) | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1:1 | Deity of Christ | Iisus Hristos, Simon Petru | Romans 9:5 (“Hristos… Dumnezeu peste toate”); Titus 2:13 | Critical. The single-article construction “our God and Savior Jesus Christ” must be rendered so the identification of Iisus Hristos as “Dumnezeu” is unambiguous, exactly as the deity_of_christ doctrine already established for Romans 9:5. Any rendering that could be misread as two distinct referents (“God, and [our] Savior Jesus Christ”) undermines the doctrine. |
| 1:2 | Grace and peace multiplied | — | Romans 1:7 (“har și pace”); 1 Peter 1:2 | Low. Standard epistolary greeting; use baseline “har” and “pace” exactly. |
| 1:3–4 | Divine power; image and likeness; partaking of divine nature | Dumnezeu | Facerea 1:26–27 (man in God’s image/likeness); Ioan 1:12–13; Ioan 17:21–23; 1 Ioan 3:2 | Critical. See doctrine map (10_biblical_theme_map.md §7). Facerea 1:26–27 is the OT root of “partakers of the divine nature” — the imago Dei restored and consummated. Must not let the Orthodox theosis reading eclipse the epistle’s own ethical framing (escape from φθορά, pursuit of virtue). |
| 1:5–7 | Virtue chain | — | Romans 5:3–5 (suffering→endurance→character→hope); Galatians 5:22–23 (fruit of the Spirit); Iacov 1:2–4 (testing→perseverance→completeness) | High. Three NT virtue-chains exist in the canon (2 Peter 1, Romans 5, James 1); this curriculum should note the parallel structure without implying 2 Peter’s list is exhaustive or that virtues are self-generated apart from grace (cf. baseline’s grace/works caution). |
| 1:10 | Calling and election | — | Romans 8:28–30; Romans 9:11–12 | High — direct baseline reuse. “chemare” / “alegere” (klēsis/eklogē) are already fixed Romans terms (risk High, review: Human theologian). 2 Petru 1:10 must use the identical Romanian renderings. The verse’s pairing of divine election with human diligence (“σπουδάσατε,” “sârguiți-vă”) should be taught alongside Romans 9–11’s synergism caution, not against it. |
| 1:12–15 | Peter’s approaching death (“departure”) | Simon Petru, Iisus Hristos | Ioan 21:18–19 (Christ’s prediction of Peter’s death); Luca 9:31 (Christ’s own “exodus” foretold at the Transfiguration) | Medium. “ἔξοδος” (exodus/departure) deliberately echoes the same word used of Christ at the Transfiguration in Luke’s account — a literary link between Peter’s death and the very event Peter is about to recount (1:16–18). Preserve the shared vocabulary if the curriculum quotes Luke 9:31 alongside. |
| 1:16–18 | Transfiguration as eyewitness ground for the Parousia | Iisus Hristos, Dumnezeu Tatăl, Simon Petru, Iacov, Ioan (implied) | Matei 17:1–8; Marcu 9:2–8; Luca 9:28–36 (direct NT parallel accounts); Ieșirea 24:15–18 and Ieșirea 34:29–35 (Moses, the cloud, and radiant glory on the mountain — typological background); Psalmii 2:7 (“Fiul Meu ești Tu”); Isaia 42:1 (the Chosen One in whom God delights) | Critical. This is the core passage’s anchor event. The Transfiguration voice directly echoes Psalm 2:7 and Isaiah 42:1, both messianic texts; the mountain theophany pattern echoes Exodus 24/34. Render “Fiul Meu cel iubit” consistently with any Gospel harmony material the curriculum may cite (Matei 17:5 uses nearly identical wording). |
| 1:19 | The prophetic word confirmed; the morning star | — | Numerii 24:17 (“o stea răsare din Iacov” — messianic); Maleahi 4:2 (“soarele dreptății”); Apocalipsa 22:16 (“luceafărul cel de dimineață” — Christ’s self-designation); contrast Isaia 14:12 (the “day star, son of the dawn” applied to the king of Babylon, traditionally the source of “Lucifer” as a name for Satan) | Critical. φωσφόρος must be anchored positively to Christ via Revelation 22:16’s parallel image (which the Romanian Bible tradition already renders “luceafărul de dimineață”), and explicitly distinguished from (a) Isaia 14:12’s negative figure (source of the Romanian “Lucifer” = Satan) and (b) Eminescu’s poem “Luceafărul,” a culturally dominant, theologically unrelated reference point for Romanian readers. |
| 1:20–21 | Origin and interpretation of prophecy; inspiration of Scripture | proroci (prophets) | Romans 1:2 (“evanghelia… făgăduită mai înainte prin prorocii Săi, în Sfintele Scripturi”); 2 Timotei 3:16 (“toată Scriptura este insuflată de Dumnezeu”); 1 Petru 1:10–12 (prophets searched out what the Spirit indicated) | Critical. Romans 1:2 already establishes, within this same Language Package, that OT prophecy points forward to the gospel under divine initiative — 2 Peter 1:20–21 makes the mechanism of that initiative explicit (φέρω, “purtați”). The two passages should read as complementary within the curriculum, not introduce a new or conflicting doctrine of inspiration. |
§3. Cross-Reference Matrix — Chapter 2
| Passage (2 Peter) | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:1 | False prophets/teachers arising among God’s people | — | Deuteronomul 13:1–5 (test for false prophets); Matei 24:11 (false prophets in the last days); 1 Ioan 4:1 | High. “proroci mincinoși” / “învățători mincinoși” — establish clearly these arise from within the believing community, a recurring OT and NT pattern, not only external threats. |
| 2:1 | The Master who bought them | Iisus Hristos (δεσπότης) | Ieșirea 15:16 (the people God “purchased”); Deuteronomul 32:6; 1 Corinteni 6:20 (“cumpărați cu un preț”) | High. δεσπότης (“Stăpân”) + ἀγοράζω (“a răscumpăra”) together assert Christ’s ownership by redemption — a claim the false teachers deny by their conduct. Distinguish “Stăpân” from “Domnul” throughout (see §6 authority cluster). |
| 2:4 | Judgment of the sinning angels | angeli (fallen angels) | Facerea 6:1–4 (“fiii lui Dumnezeu”); Iuda 6; 1 Petru 3:19–20 (spirits in prison) | Medium-High. ταρταρόω is a hapax legomenon borrowing a Greek mythological term (Tartarus); render with a gloss so readers recognize this as a scriptural statement about the certainty of angelic judgment, not an endorsement of Greek cosmology. This verse is near-verbatim paralleled in Jude 6 (see §7). |
| 2:5 | The Flood as precedent judgment; Noah preserved | Noe (Noah) | Facerea 6:5–8:22; 1 Petru 3:20 (eight persons saved through water) | Low-Medium. “potop” is an established, unambiguous biblical term in Romanian. Note the direct 1 Peter 3:20 parallel — same author, same event, complementary but distinct application (there: baptismal typology; here: judgment precedent). |
| 2:6 | Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed as an example | — | Facerea 19:1–29; Iuda 7; Luca 17:28–29 (Christ’s own reference to Sodom) | Low-Medium. “Sodoma și Gomora” are established proper names requiring no adaptation. |
| 2:7–8 | Lot rescued as righteous amid corruption | Lot | Facerea 19:16, 19:29 (Lot’s rescue) | Medium. δίκαιος (“drept”) applied to Lot follows the same baseline rendering pattern as righteousness family; pastoral emphasis is God’s ability to distinguish and preserve the righteous even in a corrupt environment. |
| 2:9 | The Lord rescues the godly, keeps the unrighteous for punishment | — | Psalmii 34:17–19; Psalmii 37:39–40 | Medium. Pairs rescue (ῥύομαι) and punishment (κολάζω) as parallel certainties; consistent with the Day-of-the-Lord judgment doctrine developed fully in chapter 3. |
| 2:10–11 | Despising authority; angelic “glorious ones” | angeli, Mihail (implied) | Iuda 8–9 (Michael’s dispute with the devil over the body of Moses, itself echoing Zaharia 3:2) | Medium. δόξαι (“măriri / căpetenii slăvite”) is a distinct concrete-plural sense from the abstract “slavă” used elsewhere (1:3, 1:17, 3:18); a translator note preventing confusion is required. Near-verbatim parallel to Jude 8–9. |
| 2:12 | False teachers compared to irrational animals | — | Psalmii 49:12, 20 (“omul… se aseamănă cu dobitoacele care pier”); Iuda 10 | Low-Medium. “dobitoace fără judecată” is a vivid but standard biblical image; near-verbatim parallel to Jude 10. |
| 2:13–14 | Reveling, enticing the unstable | — | Iuda 12 | Medium. Parallel to Jude 12; retain the bluntness of the accusation. |
| 2:15–16 | Balaam’s greed and rebuke | Balaam | Numerii 22:1–35 (esp. 22:21–35, the donkey’s rebuke); Numerii 31:16 (Balaam’s counsel corrupted Israel); Iuda 11; Apocalipsa 2:14 (“învățătura lui Balaam”) | Low-Medium. A third OT judgment-paradigm figure (with Noah’s generation and Sodom); the donkey-rebuke detail should be retained for its vivid, memorable force. Direct parallel to Jude 11 and Revelation 2:14 — three NT texts referencing the same OT figure; render “Balaam” identically across all three if this curriculum’s material cites them together. |
| 2:17 | Waterless springs, storm-driven mists | — | Pildele lui Solomon 25:14 (clouds without rain); Iuda 12–13 | Low-Medium. Nature imagery for empty promises; near-verbatim parallel to Jude 12–13. |
| 2:18 | Enticement through fleshly desire | — | Iuda 16 | Medium. Parallel to Jude 16. |
| 2:19 | Promising freedom, themselves slaves of corruption | — | Ioan 8:34 (“cel ce păcătuiește este rob al păcatului”); Romans 6:16–20 (slaves of sin vs. slaves of righteousness); Galatians 5:1, 13 | High — direct Romans parallel. Romans 6:16–20 already establishes the “slave of sin / slave of righteousness” antithesis for this Language Package; 2 Petru 2:19’s “robi ai stricăciunii” should use the same “rob(i)” root the curriculum’s Romans material uses for slavery-to-sin language, so learners recognize the shared Pauline-Petrine image. |
| 2:20–21 | Apostasy after knowing the way of righteousness | — | Evrei 6:4–6; Evrei 10:26–29 (warnings against apostasy); Luca 11:24–26 (a worse subsequent state) | High. “cunoaștere deplină” (ἐπίγνωσις) lost is treated as a real, serious danger — teach alongside, not against, the Romans baseline’s assurance_of_salvation doctrine note on the Orthodox/Reformed tension over the security of salvation. |
| 2:22 | Proverbial images of relapse | — | Pildele lui Solomon 26:11 (“cum se întoarce câinele la vărsătura sa” — direct OT quotation); the “sow to the mire” half is an extra-biblical proverb, not a Scripture citation | Medium. Distinguish for teaching purposes: the dog proverb is a direct citation of Proverbe 26:11; the sow proverb is illustrative folk-proverb material Peter juxtaposes with it, not itself Scripture. |
§4. Cross-Reference Matrix — Chapter 3
| Passage (2 Peter) | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:1–2 | Remembrance of prophets and apostolic command | proroci sfinți, apostoli | Iuda 17 | Medium. Parallel to Jude 17; reinforces the inspiration_of_scripture doctrine bridging OT prophets and NT apostles. |
| 3:3–4 | Scoffers deny the Parousia | batjocoritori (scoffers) | Isaia 5:19; Ieremia 17:15; Maleahi 2:17; Psalmii 10:4, 11, 13; Amos 5:18 (skepticism toward “the day of the Lord”) | Critical. “Where is the promise of his coming?” directly targets παρουσία — the term fixed at 1:16 as “venire.” Must render identically here (3:4) and at 3:12, per the cross-curricular consistency rule already flagged in 08_core_glossary.md §10. The OT background shows scoffing at divine judgment/deliverance delay is a recurring biblical pattern, not a modern problem only. |
| 3:5 | Creation by the word of God, out of water | — | Facerea 1:6–9 (God’s word forms the heavens and separates the waters); Psalmii 33:6, 9; Psalmii 148:5 | Medium. Grounds God’s creative, word-based sovereignty as the premise for his judging sovereignty. |
| 3:6 | The world destroyed by the Flood | Noe | Facerea 7:11–24 | Low. Same Flood material as 2:5; render “potop” identically across chapters 2 and 3. |
| 3:7 | Present heavens and earth reserved for fire | — | Isaia 66:15–16; Sofonia 1:18; Maleahi 4:1; Deuteronomul 32:22 | High. The water-judgment/fire-judgment parallel (Flood, then final fire) is a deliberate typological escalation; see typology table §6. |
| 3:8 | A day as a thousand years | — | Psalmii 90:4 (“căci o mie de ani înaintea ochilor Tăi sunt ca ziua de ieri” — direct OT quotation) | High. Direct quotation; must not be flattened into a numerological or date-calculation formula — its function in context is to establish God’s transcendence over human time as the basis for divine patience (3:9), not to supply a prophetic timetable. |
| 3:9 | God’s patience aims at repentance, not slowness | — | Avacum 2:3 (“viziunea nu va întârzia”); Iezechiel 18:23, 33:11 (God takes no delight in the death of the wicked); Ieșirea 34:6 (slow to anger); Romans 2:4 (“bunătatea lui Dumnezeu te împinge la pocăință”) | Critical — direct Romans parallel. Romans 2:4 already treats divine “bunătate,” “îngăduință” (“ἀνοχή”), and “îndelungă-răbdare” (μακροθυμία) as together purposed toward repentance; 2 Petru 3:9 makes the same μακροθυμία the epistle’s central term (see baseline term makrothymia = “îndelungă-răbdare,” Critical). This Language Package should register “îndelungă-răbdare” as the single standard Romanian rendering for μακροθυμία wherever it recurs across both curricula. |
| 3:10 | The Day of the Lord comes like a thief | — | Matei 24:42–44; Luca 12:39–40; 1 Tesaloniceni 5:2–4 (near-verbatim NT parallel); Apocalipsa 3:3, 16:15 | Critical. “ziua Domnului… ca un fur” must match the thief-image already established across the Synoptic and Pauline tradition; if this curriculum cross-references 1 Tesaloniceni 5:2, the Romanian rendering of “fur/hoț” should be identical in both places. |
| 3:10–12 | Cosmic dissolution; elements melt with fire | — | Isaia 34:4 (heavens rolled up like a scroll); Isaia 51:6 (heavens vanish like smoke); Miheia 1:4 (mountains melt) | High. στοιχεῖα (“stihii”) risk: see §7 folk-religion caution. |
| 3:13 | New heavens and new earth; righteousness dwells | — | Isaia 65:17; Isaia 66:22 (direct OT source of the promise); Apocalipsa 21:1 (direct NT parallel — same promise, fulfilled); Isaia 32:1 (a king reigning in righteousness — messianic background) | Critical. Must align exactly with however this curriculum or a future Revelation-curriculum renders Apocalipsa 21:1’s “ceruri noi și un pământ nou,” since 2 Peter 3:13 and Revelation 21:1 describe the identical promised reality. |
| 3:14 | Spotless and blameless before God | — | Filipeni 2:15; Efeseni 5:27 | Medium. Ethical outworking of the certainty of judgment; consistent with the sanctification doctrine family already established in the Romans baseline. |
| 3:15 | The Lord’s patience is salvation, per Paul’s wisdom | Pavel (Paul) | Romans 2:4 (direct verbal/thematic parallel — divine patience oriented toward repentance/salvation) | Critical — direct cross-curricular link. This is 2 Peter explicitly invoking the same Pauline teaching already translated in the Romans curriculum. The rendering of “mântuire” here must be identical to the Romans baseline term (already the case: “mântuire,” Critical). |
| 3:16 | Paul’s letters classed among “the other Scriptures” | Pavel (Paul) | Directly includes the Epistle to the Romans itself, among “all his letters” | Critical — foundational cross-curricular link. 2 Peter 3:16 is Peter’s own canon-consciousness statement placing Paul’s letters — including Romani, the anchor text of this Language Package’s baseline — on the same authoritative footing as OT “Scriptură.” Render “celelalte Scripturi” so as not to subordinate Paul’s letters to a lesser category, and flag this verse for a teaching note explicitly connecting the two curricula. |
| 3:17–18 | Final exhortation: stability and growth in grace and knowledge | — | 2 Timotei 2:1 (be strong in grace); Coloseni 1:23 (continuing, stable in the faith); Efeseni 4:14–15 (no longer tossed by every wind of doctrine, but growing) | Medium. “har” (baseline reuse, exact) paired with “cunoaștere” as the letter’s closing summary of the whole epistle’s trajectory — from firm foundation (ch.1) through warning (ch.2) to hope-filled growth (ch.3). |
§5. Messianic References Summary
| Passage | Messianic content | OT root | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:1, 1:11, 2:20, 3:2, 3:18 | Repeated confession “our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” | — | Critical. Each occurrence is a compact creedal confession; render σωτήρ consistently as “Mântuitor” (baseline-consistent new term) at every instance. |
| 1:16–18 | Transfiguration voice: “This is my beloved Son” | Psalmii 2:7; Isaia 42:1 | Critical. Direct echo of two messianic OT texts; ties to baseline sonship_of_christ (Critical). |
| 1:19 | Morning star | Numerii 24:17 (“stea din Iacov”); Apocalipsa 22:16 | High. Positive fulfillment image; distinguish from Isaia 14:12/“Lucifer” and from Eminescu’s poem (see §2, 1:19 row). |
| 2:1 | The Master who bought them | Ieșirea 15:16; Deuteronomul 32:6 | High. Redemptive ownership language applied to Christ. |
| 3:13 | New earth in which righteousness dwells | Isaia 32:1; Isaia 65:17; Isaia 66:22 | Critical. Final, cosmic fulfillment of the messianic reign of righteousness. |
§6. Typological Patterns Summary
| Type (OT figure/event) | Antitype/pattern in 2 Peter | Passage | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Noah and the Flood (Facerea 6–8) | Historical precedent for certain, total judgment on the ungodly and rescue of the righteous | 2:5, 3:6 | Medium. Note the complementary but distinct emphasis versus 1 Petru 3:20’s baptismal typology of the same event — 2 Peter’s use is purely as a judgment/rescue precedent. |
| Sodom and Gomorrah / Lot (Facerea 19) | Precedent for total judgment on the wicked and preservation of the righteous amid surrounding corruption | 2:6–9 | Medium. Pastoral comfort: God distinguishes the righteous even within a corrupt environment. |
| Moses on the mountain, cloud and glory (Ieșirea 24, 34) | The Transfiguration’s mountain-theophany pattern | 1:16–18 | High. Establishes the eyewitness apostolic testimony as a genuine theophany in continuity with Sinai, not a private mystical experience. |
| The Flood (judgment by water) | The coming Day of the Lord (judgment by fire) | 3:5–7 | High. A deliberate escalating two-stage typological pattern (water, then fire) structuring the whole of chapter 3’s argument; preserve the parallel so Romanian readers see the intentional pairing. |
| Balaam (Numerii 22–24) | Type of the greed-driven false teacher/prophet-for-hire | 2:15–16 | Low-Medium. Reinforced by Iuda 11 and Apocalipsa 2:14 citing the same figure for the same purpose across three NT books. |
§7. Parallels to the Romans Curriculum and Rendering-Consistency Rules
The following term/passage pairs are shared, or thematically load-bearing, between the Romans baseline and 2 Peter. These require identical or doctrinally coordinated Romanian rendering.
| # | Rule |
|---|---|
| 1 | δικαιοσύνη (“dreptate”) — reused identically in 2 Petru 1:1, 2:5, 2:21, 3:13 exactly as fixed for Romans (Critical). No deviation permitted. |
| 2 | σωτηρία (“mântuire”) — reused identically in 2 Petru 3:15, directly quoting the same Pauline “patience unto salvation” logic as Romans 2:4. Must match the Romans baseline term exactly. |
| 3 | πίστις (“credință”) — reused identically in 2 Petru 1:1, 1:5. |
| 4 | κλῆσις καὶ ἐκλογή (“chemare” / “alegere”) — 2 Petru 1:10 must use the identical Romanian terms fixed for Romans 8:28–30 and 9:11–12, and should be taught with the same Orthodox-synergism caution already documented in the Romans doctrine registry’s effectual_calling and election entries. |
| 5 | μακροθυμία (“îndelungă-răbdare”) — new to this curriculum (2 Petru 3:9, 3:15) but directly parallel to Romans 2:4’s patience-toward-repentance logic. RECOMMENDATION: register μακροθυμία formally in a shared cross-curriculum term entry so that any future curriculum quoting Romans 2:4 alongside 2 Peter 3:9 uses “îndelungă-răbdare” consistently in both places. |
| 6 | δοῦλος τῆς φθορᾶς / δοῦλος τῆς ἁμαρτίας (“rob al stricăciunii” / “rob al păcatului”) — 2 Petru 2:19’s slavery-to-corruption image must use the same “rob(i)” root the Romans curriculum uses for Romans 6:16–20’s slavery-to-sin/righteousness antithesis, so learners recognize the shared Pauline-Petrine metaphor. |
| 7 | Ἰησοῦς Χριστός (Iisus Hristos), Θεός (Dumnezeu), Πνεῦμα Ἅγιον (Duhul Sfânt), κύριος (Domnul) — all reused exactly per baseline, Critical, no deviation. |
| 8 | Deity-of-Christ grammatical constructions — 2 Petru 1:1 (“Dumnezeului și Mântuitorului nostru Iisus Hristos”) and Romans 9:5 (“Hristos… Dumnezeu peste toate”) are structurally parallel single-referent constructions; both require identical Critical-tier, human-theologian-reviewed handling per the baseline’s deity_of_christ doctrine entry. |
| 9 | 2 Petru 3:16’s explicit reference to Paul’s letters (“celelalte Scripturi”) — since this phrase includes Romani, the anchor text of this whole Language Package, flag this verse for an explicit teaching note bridging the two curricula: the very letter the learner studied under the Romans curriculum is here being named as Scripture by Peter. |
| 10 | 2 Peter 2 / Jude near-total literary overlap (2:4/Jude 6; 2:10–11/Jude 8–9; 2:12/Jude 10; 2:13–18/Jude 12–16) — Jude is not yet part of this pipeline, but any future Jude Language Package for Romanian MUST reuse the 2 Peter chapter 2 renderings established here (ταρταρόω, δόξαι, ἄλογα ζῷα, Βαλαάμ, πηγαὶ ἄνυδροι, etc.) for the overlapping verses, to preserve cross-book consistency for readers who will encounter both letters. |
| 11 | Ζιua Domnului / Parousia consistency — παρουσία (“venire”) at 1:16, 3:4, 3:12 and the “thief” image at 3:10 (paralleling Matei 24:42–44, 1 Tesaloniceni 5:2–4) must use identical Romanian vocabulary at every occurrence within 2 Peter and should anticipate identical vocabulary if this Language Package is later extended to 1 Thessalonians or Matthew. |
Summary Note on Full-Book Coverage
Every chapter of 2 Peter (1, 2, 3) has been cross-referenced for OT quotations and allusions, NT parallels, messianic content, and typology. Chapter 1 anchors the letter’s eyewitness and prophetic-word argument (Transfiguration, Psalm 2/Isaiah 42, Numbers 24). Chapter 2 is densely paralleled with Jude and grounded in three OT judgment paradigms (the angels, the Flood, Sodom, Balaam). Chapter 3 anchors the letter’s eschatology in Genesis 1, Psalm 90, Isaiah 34/51/65–66, and the Synoptic/Pauline “thief” tradition, and explicitly names Paul’s letters — including Romans — as Scripture. No chapter or major cross-reference category has been silently omitted.
