Cross-Reference Analysis
Cross-Reference and Theme Analysis: 2 Timothy — English → Romanian
Purpose and Method
This document catalogs every Old Testament quotation and allusion, every New Testament parallel (with special attention to Romans, the sibling curriculum already localized into Romanian in this pipeline), every messianic reference, and every typological pattern in 2 Timothy, chapter by chapter, front to back. No chapter is silently omitted: chapters with sparse cross-reference material (e.g., the personal greetings of 4:9–21) are explicitly marked “reviewed” with a note explaining the low yield.
Citations are given in normalizable English form (“Genesis 15:6,” “Romans 1:3-4”) for internal Phase 1 analysis, consistent with the working convention of 07_semantic_analysis.md. Section 9 below provides the Romanian Bible-citation mapping required before any of these references appear in Phase 2 output, per the baseline’s citation convention (Romani 3:23, not Romans 3:23).
Where a cross-reference touches a term already governed by the baseline translation_memory.json or the 2 Timothy-specific glossary (08_core_glossary.md), this document does not re-argue the term’s risk tier — it cites the existing entry and focuses on the rendering-consistency implication of the cross-reference.
Section 1 — Chapter 1 Cross-Reference Matrix
| Passage (2 Timothy) | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1:1-2 | Apostleship / Grace | Paul, Timothy | Parallels Romans 1:1 (apostolic salutation formula); Titus 1:1; Ephesians 1:1 | Medium. Reuse “har” (Critical), “pace” (Medium) exactly per Romans TM; new term “milă” (mercy) — see 08_core_glossary. |
| 1:3 | Faithful heritage / Thanksgiving | Paul | Parallels Romans 1:8-9 (thanksgiving opening); echoes Acts 22:3, 23:1 (Paul’s clear conscience from ancestral faith) | Low. Standard “mulțumire,” “cuget curat.” |
| 1:5 | Faithful Transmission of the Gospel | Timothy, Eunice, Lois | Echoes Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (generational transmission of the Shema); Proverbs 22:6; Psalm 78:5-7 | Medium. Positive resonance with Orthodox family-catechesis tradition; no collision, but frame as personal trust transmitted, not inherited cultural identity (cf. baseline “faith” caution). |
| 1:6 | The Charge to Preach the Word / ministry gift | Paul, Timothy | Typological parallel: Numbers 27:18-23 and Deuteronomy 34:9 (Moses laying hands on Joshua); also Acts 6:6, Acts 13:3 | Critical. Holy Orders (Taina Hirotoniei) collision already flagged in 08_core_glossary; the Moses–Joshua typology strengthens the resonance and must be taught as illustrative continuity, not proof of a specific institutional succession mechanism. |
| 1:7 | Perseverance under Suffering | — | Parallels Romans 8:15 (“not a spirit of slavery to fear”); echoes Isaiah 41:10 | Medium. |
| 1:8 | Perseverance under Suffering / Charge to Preach | Paul | Direct parallel: Romans 1:16 (“I am not ashamed of the gospel”) | Critical — cross-curriculum consistency required. See Rendering-Consistency Rule 2 (Section 8). |
| 1:9 | Effectual Calling / Grace / Assurance of Reward | — | Parallels Romans 9:11 (election “not because of works”); Ephesians 1:4; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5 | Critical. Same election/synergism tension flagged for baseline “alegere” and “chemare”; see Rendering-Consistency Rule 7. |
| 1:10 | Assurance of Reward / gospel content | Christ (Savior) | Echoes Isaiah 25:8 (“he will swallow up death”); Hosea 13:14; parallels 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 | Critical. ἐπιφάνεια (incarnation sense) and ἀφθαρσία both flagged Critical/High in 08_core_glossary. |
| 1:11-12 | Charge to Preach / Assurance | Paul | Parallels Romans 1:16 (shame language, again); Philippians 1:6; 2 Peter 1:10 | High. κήρυξ family term. |
| 1:13-14 | Guarding Sound Doctrine | Paul, Timothy, Holy Spirit | Parallels 1 Timothy 6:20; Jude 3 (“the faith once for all delivered to the saints”) | Critical. παραθήκη — see 08_core_glossary and Rendering-Consistency Rule 9 for the “deposit”/“faith once delivered” family. |
| 1:15-18 | Apostasy contrast / Christian Fellowship | Phygelus, Hermogenes, Onesiphorus | No direct OT quotation; thematic echo of abandonment (Job 19:14) contrasted with loyal friendship (Proverbs 17:17); parallels Romans 16’s household references | Low-Medium. Reviewed — minor historical/personal references. “Milă” (mercy) recurs at 1:16, reinforcing the “Doamne, miluiește” resonance noted in 08_core_glossary. |
Section 2 — Chapter 2 Cross-Reference Matrix
| Passage (2 Timothy) | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:1-2 | Faithful Transmission of the Gospel | Paul, Timothy, “faithful men” | Typology: Moses → Joshua (Deuteronomy 31:7-8; Numbers 27); Elijah → Elisha (2 Kings 2:9-14, mantle transmission) | Critical. παραθήκη/παράθου — see 08_core_glossary; typology strengthens (without proof-texting) the resonance with apostolic succession the curriculum must not overclaim. |
| 2:3-6 | Perseverance under Suffering / Assurance of Reward | — | Parallels 1 Corinthians 9:7, 24-27; Philippians 3:14; Deuteronomy 20:6 (farmer/vineyard exemption imagery); Ephesians 6:10-17 | Medium-High. στέφανος first occurrence — see full treatment at 4:8 below. |
| 2:8 | Faithful Transmission / Messianic Promise | Jesus Christ, David | Direct parallel: Romans 1:3-4 (identical creedal formula — Davidic descent + resurrection); OT background 2 Samuel 7:12-16; Psalm 89:3-4; Isaiah 11:1; Jeremiah 23:5-6 | CRITICAL — cross-curriculum consistency mandatory. See Rendering-Consistency Rule 1. |
| 2:9 | Charge to Preach / Perseverance | Paul | Parallels Acts 28:31; Philippians 1:12-14; echoes Jeremiah 20:9 (“fire shut up in my bones”) | Medium-High. See λόγος-family note in 08_core_glossary (message vs. Logos-title). |
| 2:10 | Effectual Calling | ”the elect” | Parallels Romans 8:33 (“God’s elect”); Romans 9-11 election language; Matthew 24:22 | Critical. Extends baseline “alegere” caution; see Rendering-Consistency Rule 7. |
| 2:11-13 | Perseverance under Suffering / Assurance of Reward | — | Parallels Romans 6:8 (died with Christ, will live with him); Matthew 10:33/Luke 12:9 (deny before men); Deuteronomy 7:9, 1 Corinthians 1:9 (God’s faithfulness); Numbers 23:19 (God does not lie) | High. Must preserve assurance without either false security or works-merit framing. |
| 2:15 | Guarding Sound Doctrine | Paul, Timothy | Parallels Ezra 7:10; Nehemiah 8:8 (careful public teaching of the Law); Ezekiel 3:17 (watchman commission) | High. ὀρθοτομέω — see 08_core_glossary. |
| 2:17-18 | Apostasy and False Teachers in the Last Days | Hymenaeus, Philetus | Parallels 1 Timothy 1:20 (same Hymenaeus); 1 Corinthians 15:12 (denial of resurrection); contrasts directly with Romans 6:4-5, 8:11 | Critical. ἀνάστασις misuse — mandatory theologian review per 08_core_glossary escalation flags. |
| 2:19 | Guarding Sound Doctrine / Assurance | — | Direct OT quotation: Numbers 16:5 (LXX) — “the Lord knows those who are his”; allusion to Numbers 16:26 / Isaiah 26:13 (“depart from iniquity”) | Medium. Must be rendered as a recognizable OT quotation, not paraphrased into generic language; align with the established Romanian OT rendering of Numbers 16:5 (Rendering-Consistency Rule 9). |
| 2:20-21 | Guarding Sound Doctrine / Sanctification | — | Direct parallel: Romans 9:21-23 (potter and clay, vessels of honor/dishonor, vessels of wrath/mercy); OT background Jeremiah 18:1-6; Isaiah 45:9 | Critical. See Rendering-Consistency Rule 3 — note the difference in emphasis (self-cleansing responsibility here vs. unilateral divine sovereignty in Romans 9) requires a translator note, not a different Romanian term. |
| 2:22-24 | Guarding Sound Doctrine | — | Parallels Romans 12:18; Micah 6:8; general wisdom-literature virtue catalogs (Proverbs) | Low-Medium. Reused TM terms (dreptate, credință, pace). |
| 2:25-26 | Apostasy and False Teachers | — | Parallels Acts 11:18 (“God granted repentance”); 2 Peter 3:9; 1 Timothy 3:7 (snare of the devil) | High. μετάνοια collision — see 08_core_glossary. |
Section 3 — Chapter 3 Cross-Reference Matrix (3:1-13; core passage 3:14ff. carried into Section 4)
| Passage (2 Timothy) | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |

Cross-curriculum rendering consistency needed for overlapping vice terms — see Rendering-Consistency Rule 8. |
| 3:5 | Apostasy and False Teachers | — | Echoes Isaiah 29:13 (“honor me with lips, hearts far away”); Ezekiel 33:31; quoted by Jesus in Matthew 15:8-9 | High. εὐσέβεια/μόρφωσις collision — see 08_core_glossary. |
| 3:6-7 | Apostasy and False Teachers | — | Parallels Titus 1:11; Proverbs 7 (seduction imagery); 1 Timothy 5:13 | Medium. |
| 3:8 | Apostasy and False Teachers | Jannes, Jambres, Moses | Typological/extra-biblical connection: Exodus 7:11,22; 8:7,18-19; 9:11 (Pharaoh’s unnamed magicians); the names derive from later Jewish tradition (Targum Pseudo-Jonathan, rabbinic sources) | Medium. Requires an explanatory teaching note on the extra-biblical naming tradition; standard transliteration, low lexical risk but Medium teaching-clarity need. |
| 3:9 | Apostasy and False Teachers | Jannes, Jambres | Echoes the outcome of Exodus 8-9 (Pharaoh’s magicians ultimately exposed/failed) | Low. |
| 3:10-11 | Perseverance under Suffering | Paul, Timothy | Parallels 2 Corinthians 11:23-27 (Paul’s suffering catalog); Psalm 34:19 (“the Lord delivers him out of them all”) | Medium. |

Section 4 — Core Passage (3:14–4:5) and Remainder of Chapter 4 Cross-Reference Matrix
| Passage (2 Timothy) | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3:14-15 | Inspiration and Sufficiency of Scripture / Faithful Transmission | Timothy | Echoes Psalm 119:9-11, 105; Deuteronomy 6:6-7; 2 Chronicles 34:3 (Josiah’s early devotion to the Law) | Critical. See θεόπνευστος/γραφή family, 08_core_glossary. |
| 3:16 | Inspiration and Sufficiency of Scripture | — | Parallels 2 Peter 1:20-21 (prophecy not by human will); Psalm 19:7-9 (the law of the Lord is perfect); Nehemiah 8:8 | Critical. |
| 3:17 | Inspiration/Sufficiency of Scripture; ministry equipping | ”the man of God” | Echoes the OT epithet used of Moses (Deuteronomy 33:1), Elijah (1 Kings 17:18; 2 Kings 1:9), David (Nehemiah 12:24) | High. ἄρτιος — see 08_core_glossary; avoid “desăvârșit.” |
| 4:1 | The Charge to Preach the Word | Christ (Judge) | Direct parallel: Romans 14:9-10 (Christ as universal judge, “we will all stand before the judgment seat”); also Acts 10:42; 1 Peter 4:5; Matthew 25:31-46; Ecclesiastes 12:14; Psalm 96:13 | Critical. See Rendering-Consistency Rule 4 (creedal-liturgical asset). |
| 4:2 | The Charge to Preach the Word | — | Parallels Jeremiah 1:17 (“arise and speak”); Ezekiel 3:17-19 (watchman); the commissioning pattern of Jonah; Isaiah 58:1 | Critical. κηρύσσω family — see 08_core_glossary. |
| 4:3-4 | Apostasy and False Teachers in the Last Days | — | Parallels Isaiah 30:9-11 (“speak to us smooth things”); Jeremiah 6:14; 1 Kings 22:8-13 (Micaiah vs. the false prophets); Titus 1:14 (“Jewish myths”) | High. |
| 4:5 | The Charge to Preach the Word / Perseverance | — | Parallels Acts 21:8 (Philip “the evangelist”); Ephesians 4:11 | High-Medium. εὐαγγελιστής, διακονία — see 08_core_glossary. |
| 4:6 | Perseverance under Suffering / Assurance of Reward | Paul | Direct parallel: Philippians 2:17 (identical libation image, in Paul’s own earlier words); OT background Numbers 15:5; 28:7 (drink-offering regulations) | High. σπένδομαι — see 08_core_glossary. |
| 4:7 | Assurance of Reward | Paul | Parallels 1 Corinthians 9:24-27; Hebrews 12:1-2; Acts 20:24; Philippians 3:12-14 | Medium-High. |
| 4:8 | Assurance of Reward | Christ (righteous Judge) | Parallels 1 Corinthians 9:25; James 1:12; 1 Peter 5:4; Revelation 2:10; Revelation 3:11; echoes Isaiah 62:3 (“crown of beauty”) | Critical. στέφανος τῆς δικαιοσύνης — see 08_core_glossary; see Rendering-Consistency Rule 3 note on grace vs. merit. |
| 4:9-13 | Apostasy contrast / faithful companionship | Demas, Crescens, Titus, Luke, Mark, Tychicus, Carpus | Demas’s love of “this present age” directly contrasts with 4:8’s “loved his appearing”; parallels 1 John 2:15-17 (“do not love the world”); Mark’s restoration parallels Acts 15:37-39 and Colossians 4:10 | Medium. Strong pastoral illustration; reviewed. |
| 4:14-15 | Assurance of Reward (negative counterpart) / Apostasy | Alexander the coppersmith | Direct OT allusion/quotation: Psalm 62:12 (LXX 61:13) and Proverbs 24:12 (“the Lord will repay him according to his deeds”); also 2 Samuel 3:39; direct parallel: Romans 2:6 (“God will render to each according to his deeds”) | High. Must be taught within, not against, the grace framework — see Rendering-Consistency Rule 6. |
| 4:16-17 | Perseverance under Suffering / Assurance | Paul | Direct OT allusion: Psalm 22:21 (“save me from the lion’s mouth”); typological parallel Daniel 6:22 (Daniel delivered from the lions); parallels 2 Corinthians 1:8-10 | Medium-High. |
| 4:17b | The Charge to Preach the Word / Mission | — | Direct parallel: Romans 15:19-20 (Paul’s mission fulfilling the gospel among the nations); Acts 9:15; Isaiah 49:6 | Medium. |

| 4:22 | Grace / benediction | — | Parallels Galatians 6:18; Philippians 4:23 — standard Pauline benediction formula | Low. Reused “har” exactly. |
Section 5 — Messianic References Summary
| Reference | Messianic Content | OT Root | Translation Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Timothy 1:10 | Christ’s first appearing as Savior, abolishing death | Isaiah 25:8; Hosea 13:14 | ἐπιφάνεια (incarnation sense) — see 08_core_glossary. |
| 2 Timothy 2:8 | Davidic descent and resurrection, “as preached in my gospel” | 2 Samuel 7:12-16; Psalm 89:3-4; Isaiah 11:1; Jeremiah 23:5-6 | Must match Romans 1:3-4 rendering exactly — Rule 1. |
| 2 Timothy 4:1 | Christ as coming Judge and King, his “appearing and his kingdom” | Daniel 7:13-14 (Son of Man’s dominion); Psalm 96:13 | ἐπιφάνεια (eschatological sense) — Critical, mandatory theologian review. |
| 2 Timothy 4:8 | Christ as righteous Judge who rewards “all who have loved his appearing” | Isaiah 62:3; Malachi 4:2 (“sun of righteousness”) | στέφανος τῆς δικαιοσύνης — see 08_core_glossary. |
Together these four references trace the single messianic arc the book assumes throughout: the promised Davidic King (2:8) has already appeared once to save (1:10) and will appear again to judge and reward (4:1, 4:8). Translators must keep this arc visible across the book rather than treating each occurrence of ἐπιφάνεια in isolation.
Section 6 — Typological Parallels Summary
| Type (OT) | Antitype/Fulfillment (2 Timothy) | Significance | Translation Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moses commissioning Joshua by laying on of hands (Numbers 27:18-23; Deuteronomy 34:9) | Paul commissioning Timothy by laying on of hands (2 Timothy 1:6); the wider “entrust to faithful men” chain (2:2) | Faithful Transmission of the Gospel modeled as a personal, generational handing-on of a task and an enablement, not merely information | Reinforces (without settling) the Holy Orders resonance already flagged Critical for 1:6. |
| Elijah’s mantle passed to Elisha (2 Kings 2:9-14) | The “faithful men” of 2:2 who will “teach others also” | A double-transmission model (spirit/enablement + content) for Guarding Sound Doctrine | Medium; supporting illustration only, not a direct lexical match. |
| Pharaoh’s magicians opposing Moses (Exodus 7-9, later named Jannes and Jambres) | False teachers opposing the truth “as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses” (3:8) | Establishes a fixed pattern: opposition to God’s true messenger always eventually fails and is exposed | Medium; requires explanatory note on extra-biblical naming. |
| The potter and the clay (Jeremiah 18:1-6; Isaiah 45:9) | Vessels of honor and dishonor (2 Timothy 2:20-21; cf. Romans 9:21-23) | Divine sovereignty and human responsibility held together; 2 Timothy’s application (self-cleansing) supplies the responsibility side that balances Romans 9’s sovereignty emphasis | Critical — see Rendering-Consistency Rule 3. |
| OT drink/libation offerings (Numbers 15:5; 28:7) | Paul’s life “poured out as a libation” (2 Timothy 4:6) | Frames Paul’s approaching martyrdom as a willing, worshipful sacrificial act | High; see σπένδομαι entry, 08_core_glossary. |
| The righteous sufferer rescued from the lion’s mouth (Psalm 22:21) and Daniel in the lions’ den (Daniel 6) | “The Lord… rescued me from the lion’s mouth” (2 Timothy 4:17) | Paul’s deliverance during trial is set within a recognized biblical pattern of God vindicating his faithful servants under mortal threat | Medium-High. |
Section 7 — Parallels to Romans (Cross-Curriculum Table)
Because Romans is the sibling curriculum already fully localized into Romanian in this pipeline, every direct parallel below carries a mandatory rendering-match obligation, not merely a thematic note.
| Romans Passage | 2 Timothy Passage | Shared Content | Existing Romans TM Term(s) | Consistency Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Romans 1:3-4 | 2 Timothy 2:8 | Davidic descent + resurrection creedal formula | sămânța lui David, înviere | Rule 1 |
| Romans 1:16 | 2 Timothy 1:8, 1:12 | ”Not ashamed of the gospel” | evanghelie | Rule 2 |
| Romans 1:29-31 | 2 Timothy 3:2-5 | Vice-list genre | (no TM entry — new shared vocabulary) | Rule 8 |
| Romans 6:8 | 2 Timothy 2:11 | Died with Christ, will live with him | (conceptual — no single TM term) | — |
| Romans 8:15 | 2 Timothy 1:7 | Not a spirit of fear/slavery | Duhul Sfânt (contextual) | — |
| Romans 8:33 | 2 Timothy 2:10 | ”God’s elect” | alegere | Rule 7 |
| Romans 9:11 | 2 Timothy 1:9 | Called/chosen “not by works” | chemare, alegere, har | Rule 7 |
| Romans 9:21-23 | 2 Timothy 2:20-21 | Potter/vessels of honor and dishonor | (new: “vas”) | Rule 3 |
| Romans 2:6 | 2 Timothy 4:14 | God repays/renders according to deeds | (conceptual) | Rule 6 |
| Romans 11:36 | 2 Timothy 4:18 | Closing doxology, “to whom be glory forever” | slavă | Rule 5 |
| Romans 14:9-10 | 2 Timothy 4:1 | Christ judges the living and the dead | (creedal phrase, no TM entry needed — direct creedal reuse) | Rule 4 |
| Romans 15:19-20 | 2 Timothy 4:17b | Gospel fully proclaimed to the Gentiles | neamuri, misiune | — |
| Romans 16 | 2 Timothy 4:19-21 | Extended personal greetings; shared names (Priscilla/Aquila, Erastus) | (proper names) | Rule 10 |
Section 8 — Rendering-Consistency Rules for Shared Quotations
- Romans 1:3-4 / 2 Timothy 2:8 — Render “sămânța lui David” and “înviere” identically in both curricula per baseline TM; any additional descriptive verbs in the surrounding clause must match register and word order as closely as Romanian syntax allows.
- Romans 1:16 / 2 Timothy 1:8, 1:12 — Use the same verb root (“a se rușina de [Evanghelie/mărturia Domnului]”) across both curricula so learners moving between Romans and 2 Timothy studies recognize the recurring theme.
- Romans 9:21-23 / 2 Timothy 2:20-21 — Use identical “vas” vocabulary (“vas de cinste” / “vas de necinste”) in both curricula. Add a translator note in the 2 Timothy material clarifying the differing rhetorical emphasis: Romans 9 stresses the potter’s unilateral sovereignty; 2 Timothy 2:21 stresses the vessel’s own responsibility (“if anyone cleanses himself”). Do not resolve this tension by altering the term; resolve it by teaching note.
- Romans 14:9-10 / 2 Timothy 4:1 — Both must use the creedal phrase “să judece viii și morții,” matching the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed as recited in the Divine Liturgy, per the asset already identified in
07_semantic_analysis.md. - Romans 11:36 / 2 Timothy 4:18 — Both closing doxologies must render “a Lui fie slava” (or equivalent fixed doxological syntax) using the baseline “slavă” term, preserving the same doxological cadence across curricula.
- Romans 2:6 / 2 Timothy 4:14 — Both must use a matching verb for “repay/render according to deeds” (e.g., “a răsplăti/a răspunde fiecăruia după faptele sale”), and both require a translator note affirming this operates within, not against, the grace framework established by the baseline’s grace-merit distinction rule (cf. Romans 4:4-5, 11:5-6).
- Romans 8:33, 9:11 / 2 Timothy 1:9, 2:10 — Election vocabulary (“alegere,” “cei aleși,” “chemare”) must render identically across both curricula, preserving the same synergism/monergism-neutral posture the baseline establishes for “election.”
- Romans 1:29-31 / 2 Timothy 3:2-5 — Wherever the identical Greek lemma occurs in both vice lists (e.g., ὑπερήφανοι/“proud,” ἀλαζόνες/“boastful,” ἀσπονδοι-family/“unforgiving”), use the identical Romanian equivalent in both curricula to preserve intertextual recognizability. Where 08_core_glossary has not yet fixed a term for a 2 Timothy-only vice word, select a rendering compatible with any existing Romans rendering of the same root.
- OT direct quotations (Numbers 16:5 in 2 Timothy 2:19; Psalm 62:12/Proverbs 24:12 in 2 Timothy 4:14; the Psalm 22:21 echo in 2 Timothy 4:17) — Where the Romanian Orthodox Synodal Bible or the Cornilescu translation already has an established rendering of the OT source text, align the New Testament quotation’s Romanian wording with that established OT phrasing, so the quotation remains recognizable to a reader who knows the OT text.
- Proper names shared with Romans 16 (Priscilla/Aquila, Erastus) — Use identical Romanian name forms in 2 Timothy 4:19-21 as already fixed for the Romans curriculum.
Section 9 — Citation Normalization Reference Table
This table extends the baseline’s book-name mapping (12_ai_translation_requirements.md, Cross-Reference Preservation Rules) with every OT/NT book cited in this document, using the Romanian Orthodox Synodal convention as primary (per baseline standard) and flagging genuine naming-system splits.
| English Book Name | Romanian (Orthodox Synodal, primary) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Genesis | Facerea | Per baseline |
| Exodus | Ieșirea | |
| Numbers | Numerii | |
| Deuteronomy | Deuteronomul | |
| 2 Samuel | 2 Regi | Naming-system split, flagged. Orthodox Synodal numbering (Septuagint-based) calls 1–2 Samuel “1 Regi” / “2 Regi” and 1–2 Kings “3 Regi” / “4 Regi.” The Cornilescu/Evangelical tradition instead uses “1–2 Samuel” and “1–2 Împărați,” matching Protestant/Masoretic-based numbering. Any citation to the Davidic covenant text (2 Samuel 7:12-16) must specify which numbering system is in use, parallel to the baseline’s Iisus/Isus split. |
| 2 Chronicles | 2 Paralipomena | Naming-system split, flagged, parallel to the above: Cornilescu tradition uses “2 Cronici.” |
| Nehemiah | Neemia | |
| Job | Iov | |
| Psalms | Psalmii | Per baseline |
| Proverbs | Pildele lui Solomon | |
| Ecclesiastes | Eclesiastul | |
| Isaiah | Isaia | Per baseline |
| Jeremiah | Ieremia | |
| Ezekiel | Iezechiel | |
| Daniel | Daniel | |
| Hosea | Osea | |

| Malachi | Maleahi | |
| Matthew | Matei | |
| Mark | Marcu | |

| John | Ioan | |
| Acts | Faptele Apostolilor | |
| Romans | Romani | Per baseline |
| 1 Corinthians | 1 Corinteni | |
| Galatians | Galateni | |
| Ephesians | Efeseni | |
| Philippians | Filipeni | |
| Colossians | Coloseni | |
| 2 Thessalonians | 2 Tesaloniceni | |
| 1 Timothy | 1 Timotei | |
| 2 Timothy | 2 Timotei | Curriculum book |
| Titus | Tit | |
| Hebrews | Evrei | |
| James | Iacov | |
| 1 Peter | 1 Petru | |
| 2 Peter | 2 Petru | |
| 1 John | 1 Ioan | |
| Jude | Iuda | |
| Revelation | Apocalipsa |
Rule: All citations produced for Phase 2 output must use the primary Romanian Synodal form above with Arabic verse numerals (matching the baseline’s YouVersion-compatible convention), e.g., “2 Timotei 2:8,” “Numerii 16:5.” Where a citation touches a Samuel/Kings or Chronicles reference and the target material is explicitly Evangelical/Cornilescu-facing, note the alternate numbering in a translator note, exactly as the baseline handles Iisus/Isus.
Coverage Confirmation
All four chapters of 2 Timothy have been reviewed for OT quotation, OT/NT allusion, messianic reference, and typology: Chapter 1 (Section 1), Chapter 2 (Section 2), Chapter 3 (Section 3), and Chapter 4 including the core passage (Section 4). No verses were silently omitted; sections with minimal cross-reference content (1:15-18; 4:9-13, 19-21) are explicitly marked “reviewed” above with the reasoning for their low yield.
This document feeds 10_biblical_theme_map.md and must be consulted alongside 08_core_glossary.md whenever a Phase 2 segment contains a cross-referenced passage, particularly any passage shared with the Romans curriculum (Section 7).
