Cross-Reference and Theme Analysis
1 Corinthians 1–16 | English → Russian Language Package Extension
Core passage: 1 Corinthians 15:1–11
Scope: Full book, chapter 1 through chapter 16. Every explicit OT quotation and every clearly identifiable OT allusion is catalogued below, chapter by chapter, together with messianic references, typological patterns, and parallels to the Romans curriculum already translated under the baseline Language Package.
Citation format in this document: Full book names, normalizable form (e.g. “Genesis 15:6”, “Isaiah 28:16”, “1 Corinthians 15:3–4”). This is distinct from the Russian-facing Synodal citation convention (Быт., Ис., 1 Кор.) fixed in 12_ai_translation_requirements.md, which remains the standard for reader-facing output.
Baseline dependency: Where a quotation, confession, or typological term also occurs in the Romans curriculum, the existing baseline Russian rendering is authoritative and controls; this document’s “Translation Sensitivity” column notes every such overlap explicitly under Section D.
Section A — Chapter-by-Chapter Cross-Reference Matrix
Chapter 1 — Factionalism, the Cross, Divine Wisdom and Foolishness
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|
| 1 Corinthians 1:19 | God nullifies human wisdom | (none named) | Quotes Isaiah 29:14 (“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise”) | мудрость word family; see baseline sophia/Sophiology Critical-risk note (analysis 07/08) — must use мудрость, never Премудрость, in this quotation’s surrounding exposition. |
| 1 Corinthians 1:24, 30 | Christ as God’s wisdom and righteousness | Christ | Echoes Isaiah 11:2; Proverbs 8:22–31 (Wisdom personified) — allusion only, not direct quotation | Same Sophiology caution applies with heightened force: Proverbs 8’s personified Wisdom is a favorite Sophiological proof-text in Russian religious philosophy (Solovyov, Bulgakov); expository text must not identify Christ-as-wisdom here with the hypostatic “Sophia” tradition. |
| 1 Corinthians 1:26–29 | God’s paradoxical choice of the lowly | (Corinthian congregation) | Echoes 1 Samuel 16:7 (God does not choose as man chooses) and Judges/Gideon-type “weak instrument” pattern; also parallels Romans 4:17 (God who calls into existence) | Uses избрал — see baseline election, High risk; keep distinguished from судьба/рок per baseline forbidden-substitution rule. |
| 1 Corinthians 1:31 | Boasting only in the Lord | (none named) | Quotes Jeremiah 9:24 (“Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord”) — also quoted in 2 Corinthians 10:17 | Direct thematic and near-verbal parallel to Romans 3:27 (“boasting is excluded”) and Romans 2:17,23; see Section D rendering-consistency rule on the хвалиться word family. |
Chapter 2 — The Spirit-Revealed Wisdom of the Cross
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|
| 1 Corinthians 2:9 | Hidden things God has prepared for those who love him | (none named) | A composite allusion, not an exact LXX quotation, drawing on Isaiah 64:4 and Isaiah 65:17 | Should be introduced with “как написано” (as it is written) per Synodal convention even though it is a loose composite; do not present as if it were a single verbatim OT verse. |
| 1 Corinthians 2:16 | Believers possess “the mind of Christ” | Christ | Quotes Isaiah 40:13 (“who has known the mind of the Lord”) | CRITICAL OVERLAP with Romans 11:34, which quotes the identical verse. Must use the identical Synodal Russian wording in both curricula: “Кто познал ум Господень, или кто был советником Ему?” See Section D, Rule 1. |
Chapter 3 — Carnality, the Church as Field and Temple
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|
| 1 Corinthians 3:16–17 | The church as God’s temple | (Corinthian congregation) | Allusion to the Solomonic Temple narrative (1 Kings 6–8) and to the indwelling Shekinah-glory tradition (Exodus 40:34–35) | храм Божий — High risk; see analysis 07/08. Do not let the OT temple-building background reinforce a purely architectural reading; the point of continuity is God’s indwelling presence, now in the gathered people, not the building. |
| 1 Corinthians 3:19 | Worldly wisdom is folly to God | (none named) | Quotes Job 5:13 (“He catches the wise in their own craftiness”) | мудрость мира сего — same Sophiology caution as ch.1. |
| 1 Corinthians 3:20 | The Lord knows the futility of human reasoning | (none named) | Quotes Psalm 94:11 (“The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile”) | Low risk; standard Synodal phrasing. |
Chapter 4 — Apostolic Stewardship
Reviewed — no direct OT quotation. 4:9’s “spectacle to the world” (θέατρον) draws on Greco-Roman triumphal-procession imagery, not an OT allusion. 4:15’s father/child language for spiritual paternity has a loose echo of covenant-fatherhood language (e.g. Deuteronomy 32:6) but no citable quotation. No new cross-reference risk beyond the already-catalogued οἰκονόμος/steward and κρίνω/judgment terms (see analysis 07).
Chapter 5 — Church Discipline; Christ Our Passover
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|
| 1 Corinthians 5:7 | ”Christ our Passover has been sacrificed” | Christ, (implicit) Moses/Israel | Direct typological fulfillment of the Passover lamb, Exodus 12:1–13, 21–27 | Messianic/typological — High. Christ as the true Passover Lamb parallels John 1:29 and the Last Supper’s Passover setting (chs. 11); Russian readers already possess strong Paschal (Пасха) cultural resonance, but this must be anchored to the sacrificial-substitute sense of the original Passover lamb (blood applied, judgment averted), not only the resurrection-festival sense Пасха now culturally carries in Russia. Render “Пасха наша, Христос” per Synodal 5:7 phrasing; gloss the Exodus background explicitly. |
| 1 Corinthians 5:8 | Unleavened bread of sincerity and truth | (Israel, implicit) | Continues Exodus 12/13 unleavened-bread typology | квасное/бесквасный — Low risk per analysis 07; needs brief agrarian/Passover-ritual gloss for readers without continuous OT narrative exposure. |
| 1 Corinthians 5:13 | ”Purge the evil person from among you” | (none named) | Quotes Deuteronomy 17:7 (also echoed in Deuteronomy 19:19; 22:21,24; 24:7 — the recurring “purge from Israel” formula) | Connects to baseline caution on “предать сатане” (analysis 07/08): this is corrective congregational discipline continuing an OT covenant-community pattern, not an ad hoc curse. |
Chapter 6 — Lawsuits; the Body as Temple; Marriage Union Cited
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|
| 1 Corinthians 6:2–3 | Saints will judge the world/angels | (none named) | Echoes Daniel 7:22 (judgment given to the saints) | судить мир — Medium; eschatological role, not present ecclesiastical authority overreach; keep future-tense force clear. |
| 1 Corinthians 6:16 | ”The two shall become one flesh” | Adam, Eve (implicit) | Quotes Genesis 2:24 verbatim (also quoted by Jesus in Matthew 19:5/Mark 10:8 and by Paul in Ephesians 5:31) | одна плоть — Medium. Marriage-union creation-order text; must be applied by Paul here to the negative case (union with a prostitute) — expository text must make clear the citation illustrates the seriousness/reality of sexual union generally, not marriage specifically, in this verse’s argument. |
| 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 | The believer’s body as temple; bought with a price | (none named) | Extends the Exodus 40 indwelling-presence motif (see 3:16–17) to the individual body; “bought with a price” echoes redemption-price/ransom language (Exodus 13:13; Leviticus 25:47–55, kinsman-redeemer) | тело — храм Святого Духа; куплены дорогою ценою — High/Medium; see analysis 07/08. Same храм-as-building caution as ch.3, intensified. |
Chapter 7 — Marriage and Singleness
Reviewed. No direct OT quotation. The chapter’s marriage instructions presuppose but do not cite Genesis 1:27–28 and Genesis 2:18–24 (creation-order marriage institution, already engaged directly in ch.6 and ch.11). 7:19’s “keeping the commandments of God” alludes generally to the Decalogue/Torah without a specific citation. No new cross-reference risk beyond the already-catalogued παρθένος/virginity and κλῆσις/calling terms (analysis 07/08).
Chapter 8 — Idol Meat, Conscience, the Shema Echoed
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|
| 1 Corinthians 8:4–6 | ”There is no God but one… one Lord, Jesus Christ” | Christ | Direct theological echo of the Shema, Deuteronomy 6:4 (“The LORD is one”) | High. Paul deliberately reworks Israel’s foundational monotheistic confession to include Christ within the identity of the “one Lord” — a direct, load-bearing statement of the deity of Christ (parallels Romans’ deity_of_christ doctrine, Romans 9:5). Render “один Бог… один Господь” preserving the Shema’s numerical emphasis; do not let это read as merely rejecting polytheism in general without the specific echo of Israel’s confession. |
Chapter 9 — Apostolic Rights; the Muzzled Ox
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|
| 1 Corinthians 9:9 | ”You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain” | Moses (Law-giver, implicit) | Quotes Deuteronomy 25:4 verbatim (also quoted in 1 Timothy 5:18 to justify paying elders) | не заграждай рта волу — Medium. Paul’s argument moves explicitly from the literal agrarian command to a typological/analogical principle (workers deserve support); expository text must state this hermeneutical move explicitly rather than let readers think Paul is making an animal-welfare point. |
| 1 Corinthians 9:13 | Temple ministers live from temple service | Levites/priests (implicit) | Alludes to Numbers 18:8–32 and Deuteronomy 18:1–8 (Levitical portion from offerings) | Low; supporting background allusion, no direct quotation. |
Chapter 10 — Israel’s Wilderness Warning; the Lord’s Table
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|
| 1 Corinthians 10:1–4 | The wilderness generation “baptized” into Moses; the Rock was Christ | Moses, Israel, Christ | Direct typological reading of Exodus 13:21–22; 14:21–29 (cloud and sea) and Exodus 17:6 / Numbers 20:7–11 (water from the rock) | Messianic/typological — High. “The Rock was Christ” (10:4) is a retrospective Christophany claim — Christ was actively present with and sustaining Israel in the wilderness. Requires explicit OT narrative background per the baseline’s noted literacy gap; risk of readers missing the claim’s force (Christ’s pre-incarnate activity) if the Exodus background is not supplied. Render “Камень же был Христос” per Synodal. |
| 1 Corinthians 10:6,11 | Israel’s history as a τύπος (pattern/warning) for the church | Israel (corporate) | Explicit typological hermeneutic statement, governing the whole unit | τύπος → пример/образ; see analysis 07. Framing term for all of 10:1–11; state the typological principle explicitly (these things happened as an example, for our instruction) so readers do not read the following allusions as mere illustration rather than authoritative warning. |
| 1 Corinthians 10:7 | Idolatrous revelry | Israel at Sinai | Quotes/alludes to Exodus 32:6 (golden calf: “the people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play”) | идолослужение — Medium; connects to baseline’s язычники caution. |
| 1 Corinthians 10:8 | Sexual immorality and judgment | Israel at Shittim | Alludes to Numbers 25:1–9 (Baal of Peor; 24,000 in some textual traditions vs. Paul’s 23,000 — a known text-critical note, not a translation risk per se, but worth a footnote if raised) | блуд — Medium; see analysis 07. |
| 1 Corinthians 10:9 | Testing Christ | Israel in the wilderness | Alludes to Numbers 21:5–6 (fiery serpents) and/or Psalm 78:18; textual variant “Christ”/“the Lord” | искушать — Medium; theologically significant textual variant (Χριστόν vs. Κύριον) identifies the “Lord” tested in Numbers with Christ himself — reinforces the 10:4 Christophany claim; note for theologian review. |
| 1 Corinthians 10:10 | Grumbling and the Destroyer | Israel; “the Destroyer” | Alludes to Numbers 14:2,36 (grumbling) and Numbers 16:41–49 (plague after Korah’s rebellion) | Low-Medium; standard narrative allusion. |
| 1 Corinthians 10:20–21 | Sacrifices to demons; table of the Lord vs. table of demons | (none named) | Quotes/echoes Deuteronomy 32:17 (“They sacrificed to demons, not God”) | трапеза Господня / трапеза бесовская — High; see analysis 07/08 — бес risk of folk-superstitious register, prefer демон in expository text. |
| 1 Corinthians 10:26 | ”The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it” | (none named) | Quotes Psalm 24:1 verbatim | Low; standard, grounds Christian liberty regarding food in God’s ownership of creation, not ritual purity concerns. |
Chapter 11 — Head Coverings; the Lord’s Supper Instituted
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|
| 1 Corinthians 11:7–9 | Man as the image and glory of God; woman made for man | Adam, Eve | Alludes to Genesis 1:27 (image of God) and Genesis 2:18–23 (woman’s creation from and for man) | глава, слава — High; see analysis 07/08. Creation-order argument; must be handled with the same gender-authority care noted for κεφαλή. |
| 1 Corinthians 11:23–25 | Institution of the Lord’s Supper; “new covenant in my blood” | Christ | Direct dominical tradition (parallels Matthew 26:26–28; Mark 14:22–24; Luke 22:19–20) and echoes Exodus 24:8 (covenant blood at Sinai) and Jeremiah 31:31 (new covenant promise) | Critical. See analysis 07/08’s κυριακὸν δεῖπνον/σῶμα καὶ αἷμα Critical entries; the “new covenant” (καινή διαθήκη) phrase directly reuses baseline’s завет (Medium risk, Romans) but now in its single most theologically loaded NT occurrence. Render “новый завет” consistent with baseline завет rendering; flag for human theologian review per baseline routing. |
| 1 Corinthians 11:25 | New covenant | Jeremiah (prophetic background) | Direct fulfillment-echo of Jeremiah 31:31–34 | завет — see baseline covenant entry (Medium, Romans); this occurrence intensifies the risk tier to High given its direct link to the Critical-tier Lord’s Supper discussion. |
Chapter 12 — Spiritual Gifts and the Body of Christ
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|
| 1 Corinthians 12:3 | ”Jesus is Lord” as the Spirit-given confession | Christ | No OT quotation; direct NT parallel to Romans 10:9 | Critical overlap. See Section D, Rule 2 — must render identically to Romans 10:9: “Иисус есть Господь.” Flag for mandatory human theologian review per baseline escalation rule (“Romans 10:9–10… must be verbatim consistent”), extended here to 1 Corinthians 12:3. |
| 1 Corinthians 12:12–27 | The body and its many members | (Corinthian congregation) | Direct thematic and structural parallel to Romans 12:4–5 | See Section D, Rule 7 — тело/член rendering must match Romans exactly; note член’s institutional-register risk applies identically in both curricula. |
Chapter 13 — Love as the Greater Way
Reviewed. No direct OT quotation. 13:4–7’s description of love echoes the ethical content (though not the wording) of Leviticus 19:18 (“love your neighbor as yourself”), which Paul quotes directly in Romans 13:9–10 and Galatians 5:14. See Section D, Rule 10, for the cross-curriculum love-as-law’s-fulfillment parallel.
Chapter 14 — Tongues, Prophecy, Order in Worship
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|
| 1 Corinthians 14:21 | Tongues as a sign of judgment on unbelief | (Israel, implicit) | Quotes Isaiah 28:11–12 (“By people of strange tongues… I will speak to this people”) | иные языки — Medium; see analysis 07. This is the passage’s only direct OT quotation and is exegetically important: tongues here function as a judgment sign to unbelieving Israel, not primarily as a private devotional gift — expository text should state this OT background explicitly to avoid a purely modern-charismatic-practice reading disconnected from Paul’s actual argument. |
| 1 Corinthians 14:34 | ”As the Law also says” | (Moses/Torah, implicit — disputed referent) | Disputed allusion, possibly Genesis 3:16; no scholarly consensus on the specific text intended | Medium-High; exegetically and textually disputed verse (some manuscripts place 14:34–35 after v.40); flag for human theologian review given both the textual-critical question and the passage’s gender-order sensitivity (parallel to 11:3–16). |
Chapter 15 — The Resurrection of Christ and Believers
| Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|
| 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 | ”According to the Scriptures” — Christ’s death and resurrection as prophetic fulfillment | Christ | Broad fulfillment-formula, most plausibly evoking Isaiah 53:5–12 (the Suffering Servant), Psalm 16:10 (quoted directly in Acts 2:27,31 and Acts 13:35), and Hosea 6:2 (“on the third day”) | Messianic — Critical. This is the passage’s central messianic-fulfillment claim; see analysis 07’s core-passage treatment. Must not be read as generic “religious literature” fulfillment per baseline’s fulfillment_of_prophecy doctrine note; expository text should name at least Isaiah 53 explicitly given many readers’ limited continuous OT exposure. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:21–22 | ”As in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive” | Adam, Christ | Direct typological exposition of Genesis 3:1–19 (the Fall) | Typological — Critical overlap with Romans 5:12–21. See Section D, Rule 3 — Adam/Christ terminology must match the Romans rendering exactly (Адам, последний Адам, один человек). |
| 1 Corinthians 15:25 | ”Until he has put all his enemies under his feet” | Christ | Quotes/echoes Psalm 110:1, a key messianic psalm also echoed in Romans 8:34 (“at the right hand of God”) and directly quoted in Matthew 22:44; Acts 2:34–35; Hebrews 1:13 | Messianic — High. Psalm 110 is one of the most christologically load-bearing OT texts across the whole NT; ensure “положит все враги под ноги Его” matches standard Synodal messianic-psalm phrasing register. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:27 | ”He has put all things under his feet” | Christ | Quotes Psalm 8:6 verbatim (also quoted in Hebrews 2:6–8 and echoed in Ephesians 1:22) | Messianic — Medium; reinforces universal cosmic lordship of Christ, not merely resurrection-power. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:32 | ”Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die” | (none named) | Quotes Isaiah 22:13 (also cf. Ecclesiastes 8:15 for the sentiment, though not a direct quotation) | Low; cited by Paul as the logical conclusion if there is no resurrection — a rhetorical foil, not an endorsed position; expository text should keep this clearly framed as the position Paul is refuting. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:45 | ”The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam | Adam, Christ | Quotes Genesis 2:7 directly for the first clause, then applies typological contrast for “the last Adam” | Typological — Critical overlap with Romans 5:14 (Adam as “a type of the one who was to come”). See Section D, Rule 3. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:54 | ”Death is swallowed up in victory” | (none named) | Quotes Isaiah 25:8 | Low-Medium; eschatological triumph declaration, positive resonance with Paschal victory-over-death Russian liturgical language (“Смертию смерть поправ”) — this Orthodox Paschal troparion phrase can be drawn on explicitly as a supporting cultural asset. |
| 1 Corinthians 15:55 | ”O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” | (none named) | Quotes Hosea 13:14 | Low-Medium; same Paschal-victory resonance as 15:54; the two OT quotations are combined by Paul into a single triumphant declaration and should be rendered as a unified rhetorical climax. |
Chapter 16 — Collection, Closing Instructions, Benediction
Reviewed. No direct OT quotation. 16:22’s ἀνάθεμα and Aramaic μαρὰν ἀθά are treated fully in analysis 07/08 (High and Low risk respectively) as closing epistolary formulas, not OT citations. No new cross-reference risk in this chapter.
Section B — Messianic References Summary
| Reference | Messianic Claim | OT Root | Russian Rendering Note |
|---|
| 1 Corinthians 1:24,30 | Christ as God’s wisdom and righteousness | Proverbs 8:22–31 (echo only) | мудрость — never Премудрость (Sophiology caution) |
| 1 Corinthians 5:7 | Christ as the true Passover Lamb | Exodus 12 | Пасха наша, Христос — anchor to substitutionary sacrifice, not only festival |
| 1 Corinthians 8:6 | Christ included within the “one Lord” of the Shema | Deuteronomy 6:4 | один Господь — deity-of-Christ affirmation |
| 1 Corinthians 10:4 | Christ as the Rock present with Israel in the wilderness | Exodus 17:6 | Камень… Христос — pre-incarnate Christophany |
| 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 | Christ’s death and resurrection as Scripture-fulfillment | Isaiah 53; Psalm 16:10; Hosea 6:2 | по Писанию — name Isaiah 53 explicitly in teaching text |
| 1 Corinthians 15:25,27 | Christ’s universal, cosmic reign | Psalm 110:1; Psalm 8:6 | Same messianic-psalm register as Romans 8:34’s echo of Psalm 110 |
Section C — Typological Patterns Summary
| Type (OT) | Antitype (NT/1 Corinthians) | Passages | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|
| Adam, the first man | Christ, the last Adam | 1 Corinthians 15:21–22,45–49; parallel Romans 5:12–21 | See Section D, Rule 3 — terminology must match across both curricula exactly |
| The Passover lamb | Christ crucified | 1 Corinthians 5:7 | Substitutionary sacrifice sense must be retained, not only festival/calendar sense |
| The Exodus generation (cloud, sea, manna, rock) | The church’s own baptism and Lord’s Supper | 1 Corinthians 10:1–4,6,11 | Requires explicit OT narrative background per baseline’s noted literacy gap |
| The Rock struck at Meribah | Christ, spiritually present and struck for his people | 1 Corinthians 10:4 | Retrospective Christophany claim, distinct from a merely symbolic reading |
| The Solomonic Temple / Sinai indwelling glory | The church corporately, and the believer individually, as God’s temple | 1 Corinthians 3:16–17; 6:19 | храм — must be explicitly reframed away from architecture, both occurrences |
| The Sinai covenant sealed with blood | The new covenant sealed in Christ’s blood | 1 Corinthians 11:25; cf. Exodus 24:8; Jeremiah 31:31 | завет — baseline term, intensified risk in this occurrence |
Section D — Rendering-Consistency Rules for Shared Quotations and Terms (Romans ↔ 1 Corinthians)
The following rules are mandatory for Phase 2 translation. Where the same OT quotation, NT confession, or theological term-family occurs in both the Romans baseline and 1 Corinthians, the Russian rendering must be identical across both curricula. Any deviation must be flagged for human theologian review.
- Isaiah 40:13 — quoted in both Romans 11:34 and 1 Corinthians 2:16. Use the identical Synodal wording in both curricula: “Кто познал ум Господень, или кто был советником Ему?” Do not allow 1 Corinthians 2:16’s continuation (“но мы имеем ум Христов”) to alter the quotation’s own wording.
- “Jesus is Lord” confession — Romans 10:9 and 1 Corinthians 12:3. Render identically and without qualification: “Иисус есть Господь.” This extends the baseline’s existing mandatory-consistency rule for Romans 10:9–10 to cover 1 Corinthians 12:3 as the same confession restated. Both occurrences require human theologian review per the baseline escalation rules.
- Adam / last Adam typology — Romans 5:12–21 and 1 Corinthians 15:21–22,45–49. Use Адам (Adam), последний Адам (the last Adam), один человек (one man) consistently across both curricula; do not introduce synonyms (e.g. праотец for Adam) in either document.
- “As it is written” citation formula (καθὼς γέγραπται) — recurs throughout Romans and in 1 Corinthians 1:19,31; 2:9; 3:19. Render consistently as “как написано” in both curricula.
- Boasting-exclusion theme — Romans 3:27; 1 Corinthians 1:29,31. Keep the хвалиться (to boast) word family consistent in both curricula’s exposition of this shared theme; do not substitute гордиться (to be proud) for хвалиться, since Paul’s argument in both letters turns on the specific verb “to boast.”
- Grace-and-labor tension — Romans 11:5–6 and 1 Corinthians 15:10. Both passages hold unmerited grace and real human effort together in a single argument; use identical благодать rendering (Critical, per baseline) and apply the same “state it, don’t silently resolve it” framing rule established in
12_ai_translation_requirements.md to both occurrences.
- Body / members metaphor — Romans 12:4–5 and 1 Corinthians 12:12–27. Use тело (body) and член (member/part) consistently in both curricula; apply the same institutional-register caution (член’s echo of “член партии”) in both.
- Spiritual gifts terminology — Romans 12:6–8 and 1 Corinthians 12:8–10,28; 14:1–40. Use духовные дары (baseline term) consistently; note that 1 Corinthians’ list is materially broader (tongues, healings, miracles) and carries additional post-Soviet folk-occult risk (see analysis 07/08) not present at the same intensity in Romans — apply the stricter 1 Corinthians-specific caution wherever both lists are cross-referenced together in teaching text.
- Weaker-brother / conscience terminology — Romans 14 and 1 Corinthians 8, 10. Use the same слабый (в вере) / немощный vocabulary for “weaker brother” across both curricula, so that cross-references between the two letters’ parallel liberty-in-food arguments read as one coherent teaching, not two unrelated discussions.
- Love as the fulfillment of the Law — Romans 13:8–10 (which directly quotes Leviticus 19:18) and 1 Corinthians 13 (which does not quote it but expounds the same content). When teaching text cross-references the two passages, use любовь consistently and note explicitly that 1 Corinthians 13 is Paul’s fullest positive description of the very love Romans 13:9–10 names as the Law’s fulfillment.
- Covenant terminology — Romans (завет, throughout, Medium risk) and 1 Corinthians 11:25 (новый завет, at the Critical-risk Lord’s Supper institution). Use завет consistently; flag the 1 Corinthians 11:25 occurrence at the higher risk tier appropriate to its Lord’s-Supper context, per analysis 07/08.
- Church/temple corporate-identity terminology — Romans’s
church_as_gods_people doctrine (High risk) and 1 Corinthians 3:16–17; 6:19; 12:27 (temple and body-of-Christ images). Use церковь and храм Божий/Тело Христово consistently with the disambiguation notes already established in analysis 07/08; do not let 1 Corinthians’ additional temple/body imagery contradict or duplicate Romans’ simpler церковь-only framing — present them as complementary metaphors for the same reality.
This document supplements and does not override translation_memory.json, bible_term_registry.json, 07_semantic_analysis.md, or 08_core_glossary.md. All new terms and rendering-consistency rules identified above must be reflected in the registries before Phase 2 segment translation of 1 Corinthians begins.
