Messiah
Мессия is transliterated and used alongside Христос (Christ, itself originally a title meaning ‘Anointed One’ but functioning as a proper name in everyday Russian). In Romans 1:3 and 9:5, note for readers that Христос is not merely Jesus’ surname but carries this messianic-fulfillment meaning, since ordinary usage has worn that meaning smooth.
