Romans 7

• Glossary Term

  Holy

  святой is the only viable term and is deeply established, but it carries strong Orthodox associations with canonized saints (святые) and holy objects/icons/relics (святыни).

  ROM.7.12

• Glossary Term

  Holy Spirit

  Святой Дух is the settled Trinitarian term shared with Orthodoxy; unlike Hindi, there is no rival pantheistic 'universal spirit' concept to guard against by default, but дух alone (without Святой) must never stand in for the Holy Spirit, since дух alone is used broadly for 'spirit/mood/ghost' in secular Russian (as in 'дух времени', zeitgeist).

• Doctrine

  Sanctification

  CRITICAL: Russian Orthodox theology closely links sanctification to обожение (theosis/deification) mediated through sacramental participation (Eucharist, chrismation), rather than primarily the Spirit's ongoing moral transformation of the believer described in Romans 6-8.

  Sanctification

  CRITICAL: освящение is correct, but Russian Orthodox theology closely links sanctification to обожение (theosis/deification) achieved through sacramental participation (Eucharist, chrismation) rather than primarily the Spirit's ongoing moral transformation of the believer described in Romans 6-8.
