Passage

Romans 14

• Glossary Term

  Exhort

  Context-sensitive: use विनयः/प्रार्थना (entreaty) for beseeching; उत्तेजनम् (encouragement/stirring up) for building up.

  ROM.14.19

• Glossary Term

  Jesus

  Follows the Serampore Sanskrit New Testament (1808) precedent, the earliest sustained Christian Sanskrit Bible translation tradition.

  ROM.14.9

• Doctrine

  Kingdom Mission

  God's reign advancing through the gospel, not a political kingdom or a cosmic yuga-cycle restoration of dharma.

  ROM.14.17

• Glossary Term

  Kingdom Of God

  God's sovereign reign; a straightforward genitive-noun construction with no major rival technical sense to displace.

  ROM.14.17

• Glossary Term

  Lord

  प्रभुः ('master, one with power/authority') is preferred as the default title precisely because ईश्वरः carries a specific philosophical liability: in Advaita Vedānta, Īśvara is Brahman as viewed through māyā -- a real but only provisionally real (vyāvahārika) qualified (saguṇa) manifestation, ultimately superseded by the attributeless (nirguṇa) Brahman beyond even Īśvara.

  ROM.14.9

• Doctrine

  Lordship of Christ

  CRITICAL: Romans 10:9 -- 'Jesus is Lord' is the salvation confession.

  ROM.14.9

• Doctrine

  Mutual Edification

  Building one another up in faith; no significant doctrinal risk.

  ROM.14.19

• Doctrine

  Thanksgiving

  Standard term.

  ROM.14.6

  Thanksgiving

  Standard term; कृतज्ञता ('gratitude') is an acceptable descriptive synonym.
