Core Glossary: Titus (English/Greek → Sanskrit)
TRI Phase 1, Step 8 — extends the Romans baseline translation_memory.json
Curriculum: Titus
Destination language: Sanskrit (Devanagari)
Status: All terms marked [BASELINE REUSE] are already fixed in the Romans translation_memory.json and bible_term_registry.json and MUST be used exactly as recorded there — no deviation. All terms marked [NEW] are proposed extensions for the Titus curriculum, to be added to translation memory as a new version increment before Phase 2 begins, subject to the same review routing conventions as the baseline doctrine_risk_registry.json (Critical/High → Human theologian; Medium → Sanskrit-philosophically-literate scholar; Low → automated).

2. New Terms Proposed for the Titus Curriculum
| # | English Term | Greek | Sanskrit | Transliteration | Risk | Doctrine Category | Alternatives Rejected | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | grace’s training / discipline | παιδεύουσα / παιδεία | अनुशासनम् | anuśāsanam | High | Grace That Trains for Godly Living | संयमः (Yoga Sūtra’s technical 8th limb apparatus), दीक्षा (formal guru-lineage ritual initiation) | Grace personified as teacher/discipliner of character. Must be taught every occurrence as following from salvation already given, the reverse order of dharmaśāstra’s duty-then-result model. See 07_semantic_analysis.md, Titus 2:12. |
| 2 | saving (adj., of grace) | σωτήριος | त्राणकरः | trāṇakaraḥ | Critical | Salvation | — | Adjective built directly on baseline त्राणम्; inherits all its Critical-tier forbidden-substitution rules (never मोक्ष/मुक्ति-root). |
| 3 | appearing / epiphany | ἐπιφάνεια / ἐπεφάνη | प्राकट्यम् | prākaṭyam | Critical | Incarnation / Second Coming | आविर्भावः, प्रादुर्भावः (both standing Purāṇic/Gītā vocabulary for a deity’s periodic manifestation, directly adjacent to Bhagavad Gītā 4.6–8’s avatāra language) | Brackets the whole core passage (2:11, 2:13, 3:4). Mandatory note at every occurrence: this names a unique, linear-historical appearing (past incarnation; future singular return), not a repeatable dharma-restoring descent with prior/future named instances. Directly extends the baseline’s “incarnation” Critical entry. |
| 4 | God/our great God and Savior (of Christ) | θεὸς καὶ σωτήρ | महान् सर्वेश्वरः त्राता च | mahān sarveśvaraḥ trātā ca | Critical | Deity of Christ | splitting into two referents (“the great God, and our Savior Jesus Christ”) | Titus 2:13’s Granville Sharp construction. Sanskrit must preserve one unbroken genitive chain naming Jesus Christ himself as “great God and Savior.” Mandatory Human theologian review at every occurrence per the Romans baseline’s escalation rules for Deity of Christ. |
| 5 | Savior (title) | σωτήρ | त्राता | trātā | Critical | Salvation / Deity of Christ | — | Agent noun sharing baseline त्राणम्’s √trā root; Titus’s dominant divine title for both Father (1:3, 2:10, 3:4) and Son (1:4, 2:13, 3:6). Cleanest available Critical-tier coinage: no new root introduced. |
| 6 | redeem / redemption | λυτρόω / λύτρον | उद्धरणम् / उद्धरति | uddharaṇam / uddharati | High | Atonement (flag per baseline escalation rule) | विमोचनम्/मोचयति (shares the √muc root with the forbidden मोक्षः), निस्तारणम् (bhakti-mārga “crossing the ocean of saṃsāra” imagery) | Titus 2:14. Deliberately avoids √muc entirely to prevent any morphological echo of मोक्ष. Note: rescue at a cost Christ himself paid, once, historically — not a repeated grace-cycle within an ongoing rebirth framework. |
| 7 | a people for God’s own possession | λαὸς περιούσιος | स्वकीया प्रजा | svakīyā prajā | Medium | Covenant / Election | — | Titus 2:14, OT covenant echo (Exod 19:5). Ties to baseline “election”/“covenant” entries. |
| 8 | good works / works | καλὰ/ἀγαθὰ ἔργα ; ἔργα (bare, negative sense) | सत्कर्माणि ; कर्माणि | satkarmāṇi ; karmāṇi | Critical | Sound Doctrine and Good Works / Salvation by Grace not Works | शुभानि कर्माणि (शुभ carries auspicious-omen/astrological connotation, already rejected for “gospel” in baseline for the same reason) | Titus’s master recurring term (1:16; 2:7, 2:14; 3:1, 3:8, 3:14). कर्मन् is unavoidably the base word of the karma-mīmāṃsā/karma-yoga apparatus (automatic karma-phala). Mandatory dual-register note at every occurrence: (a) negative use (3:5) excludes works as the ground of salvation; (b) positive uses name works as the necessary grace-produced fruit of salvation already given, not its automatic karmic cause. Single highest-priority term for Human theologian review in this glossary alongside regeneration. |
| 9 | washing | λουτρόν | स्नानम् | snānam | High | Regeneration by the Holy Spirit | — | Titus 3:5. स्नान is the standard term for ritual/literal bathing, central to Hindu daily purificatory practice (a self-performed, mechanically efficacious rite). Mandatory note: here it names God’s own cleansing act done to the believer, not a rite the believer performs to attain purity. |
| 10 | regeneration | παλιγγενεσία | नवसृष्टिः | navasṛṣṭiḥ | Critical | Regeneration by the Holy Spirit | नवजन्म / पुनर्जन्म / any पुनः+जन्म compound (etymologically and structurally identical to the baseline’s own forbidden term for reincarnation/transmigration, per Sāṃkhya-Yoga karmāśaya and Vedānta liṅga-śarīra doctrine) | Titus 3:5. The single highest-stakes NEW term in this glossary. Built on सृष्टि (“creation”) rather than जन्म (“birth”) to avoid recreating, in a new coinage, exactly the collision the baseline’s “resurrection” entry (पुनरुत्थानम्, never पुनर्जन्म) was designed to prevent. Mandatory note at its one occurrence: names a single, one-time spiritual re-creation, categorically different from repeated physical rebirths. |
| 11 | renewal | ἀνακαίνωσις | नवीकरणम् | navīkaraṇam | High | Regeneration by the Holy Spirit | — | Titus 3:5, paired with but distinct from παλιγγενεσία/नवसृष्टिः: an ongoing renewing work of the Spirit, not the one-time re-creation act. |
| 12 | mercy | ἔλεος | कृपा | kṛpā | Medium | Salvation by Grace not Works | — | Titus 3:5. कृपा was rejected as the rendering for χάρις/“grace” in the Romans baseline (too easily read as ordinary favor); it is appropriate here for the distinct concept of compassion-on-the-miserable (ἔλεος), provided कृपा (mercy) and अनुग्रहः (grace) remain visibly distinct terms in the same passage. |
| 13 | hope | ἐλπίς | प्रत्याशा | pratyāśā | Medium | Salvation by Grace not Works / Eschatology | आशा (overlaps with tṛṣṇā-adjacent “craving/desire,” the disposition classical Indian soteriology treats as the root of bondage) | Titus 1:2; 2:13; 3:7. Confident expectation grounded in a certain divine promise, not unfulfilled craving. |
| 14 | eternal life | ζωὴ αἰώνιος | नित्यं जीवनम् | nityaṃ jīvanam | Medium | Salvation by Grace not Works | सनातनं जीवनम् (सनातन is the proper self-designation of “Sanātana Dharma,” the traditional name of the Hindu religious system, and should be avoided generally for “eternal” in this curriculum) | Titus 1:2; 3:7. Must be taught as a granted inheritance through justification, not the ātman’s own intrinsic eternal nature (cf. Bhagavad Gītā 2.20). |
| 15 | submission (to authority, husbands, masters) | ὑποτάσσω (family) | अधीनताम् स्वीकुर्वन्तु / अधीनः | adhīnatām svīkurvantu / adhīnaḥ | High | Submission to Authority | caste-specific dharmaśāstra strī-dharma/dāsa-dharma vocabulary | Titus 2:5 (wives), 2:9 (slaves), 3:1 (civil rulers) — one Greek verb, three relationships. A single non-caste-specific phrase is used across all three to avoid silently absorbing the NT’s distinctive voluntary, Christ-modeled submission into the pre-existing varṇāśrama household hierarchy. Mandatory Human theologian review, with attention to the non-perpetual, historically situated character of the slave/master material. |
| 16 | rulers, authorities | ἀρχαί, ἐξουσίαι | राजानः अधिकारिणश्च | rājānaḥ adhikāriṇaśca | Medium | Submission to Authority | — | Titus 3:1. Plain civil-governance vocabulary. |
| 17 | knowledge of the truth | ἐπίγνωσις ἀληθείας | सत्यस्य परिज्ञानम् | satyasya parijñānam | High | Sound Doctrine and Good Works | ज्ञानम् alone (the central technical term of jñāna-mārga, Vedānta’s path of Self-realizing knowledge that ātman is Brahman, a complete self-attained soteriological path) | Titus 1:1. Must be taught as relational/doctrinal recognition of gospel truth received by revelation and faith, not self-attained metaphysical insight achieved through Vedāntic inquiry (vicāra). |
| 18 | godliness | εὐσέβεια | सर्वेश्वरनिष्ठा | sarveśvaraniṣṭhā | High | Grace That Trains for Godly Living | सर्वेश्वरभक्तिः (bhakti already flagged in the baseline as naming a full theorized soteriological path, bhakti-mārga) | Titus 1:1; 2:12. General reverent devotion/fidelity to God as a lived ethical quality, distinguished from the technical bhakti-mārga category. |
| 19 | self-control / sound-mindedness | σώφρων / σωφρόνως / σωφρονίζω | आत्मसंयमः / आत्मसंयमी | ātmasaṃyamaḥ / ātmasaṃyamī | High | Grace That Trains for Godly Living / Qualifications for Elders | जितेन्द्रियः (precise Bhagavad Gītā term for sense-conquest through self-effort, e.g. Gītā 2.61), संयमी used in the strict Patañjali Yoga Sūtra 3.4 technical sense (combined dhāraṇā-dhyāna-samādhi) | Occurs throughout Titus (1:8; 2:2, 2:4, 2:5, 2:6, 2:12). Must be taught as fruit of grace’s training (2:12, παιδεύουσα), not self-achieved yogic/ascetic mastery earning liberation. |
| 20 | overseer | ἐπίσκοπος | अध्यक्षः | adhyakṣaḥ | Medium | Qualifications for Elders | — | Titus 1:7. Plain administrative/supervisory term, avoiding guru-lineage and hierarchical-institutional loading. |
| 21 | elder | πρεσβύτερος | प्राचीनः | prācīnaḥ | Medium | Qualifications for Elders | गुरुः (baseline-adjacent rejection reasoning: guru-śiṣya-paramparā lineage authority) | Titus 1:5. |
| 22 | God’s steward | θεοῦ οἰκονόμος | सर्वेश्वरस्य गृहव्यवस्थापकः | sarveśvarasya gṛhavyavasthāpakaḥ | Medium | Qualifications for Elders | — | Titus 1:7. |
| 23 | myths / fables | μῦθοι | कल्पितकथाः | kalpitakathāḥ | High | Avoiding Divisive Controversies | पुराणकथाः, कोई भी पुराण-derived compound | Titus 1:14. NEVER render with पुराण-based vocabulary: Purāṇa names the Hindu scriptural corpus itself, and a pejorative “myth” rendering built on it would cause gratuitous, unrelated offense (the text’s actual target is Jewish legendary material, not Hindu scripture). |
| 24 | foolish controversies | μωραὶ ζητήσεις | मूढाः विवादाः | mūḍhāḥ vivādāḥ | Medium | Avoiding Divisive Controversies | — | Titus 3:9. |
| 25 | factious/divisive person | αἱρετικὸς ἄνθρωπος | भेदकारी जनः | bhedakārī janaḥ | Medium-High | Avoiding Divisive Controversies | सम्प्रदायभेदकः (सम्प्रदाय names a specific, often venerable, transmission-lineage tradition; using it pejoratively risks implying that founding/belonging to a distinct tradition is itself the fault) | Titus 3:10. Fault in view is persistent, unrepentant division-causing behavior after two admonitions, not doctrinal distinctiveness or communal identity as such. |
| 26 | slave/servant of God | δοῦλος θεοῦ | सर्वेश्वरस्य दासः | sarveśvarasya dāsaḥ | Low-Medium | Christian Identity | — | Titus 1:1. दास carries positive devotional-bhakti resonance (“-dāsa” is a common element in Vaiṣṇava devotional names), a helpful bridge term. Note the deliberate Pauline irony this shares a root with “slaves of desire” (δουλεύοντες ἐπιθυμίαις, 3:3) — both must use दासः consistently to preserve the wordplay. |
| 27 | conscience | συνείδησις | अन्तःसाक्षी | antaḥsākṣī | Medium | Sound Doctrine and Good Works | अन्तःकरणम् (Sāṃkhya/Vedānta’s technical fourfold “inner instrument”: manas, buddhi, ahaṃkāra, citta) | Titus 1:15. “Inner witness” sense preserved without importing that specific psychological apparatus. |
| 28 | inheritance / heirs | κληρονόμοι | उत्तराधिकारिणः | uttarādhikāriṇaḥ | Medium | Salvation by Grace not Works (ties to baseline Adoption entry) | — | Titus 3:7. Full heirship resulting from justification, consonant with the baseline’s “adoption” entry (complete inheritance rights, not दत्तकग्रहणम्’s partial dattaka-grahaṇa shares). |
| 29 | one-woman man (marital faithfulness) | μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἀνήρ | एकपत्नीव्रतः | ekapatnīvrataḥ | Low-Medium | Qualifications for Elders | — | Titus 1:6. A positive-resonance term (the classical epithet of Rāma in the Rāmāyaṇa); denotes simple marital faithfulness here, not a formal ritual vrata category. |
| 30 | love | ἀγάπη | प्रेम | prema | Medium-High | Grace That Trains for Godly Living | — | Titus 2:2 and passim. Carries resonance with Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava prema-bhakti (the culminating ecstatic devotional stage in Caitanya theology). Not as sharp a collision as bhakti/śraddhā for “faith,” but scholars should note the association; प्रीतिः (plain “affection”) is a less-theorized alternative worth weighing case by case. |
| 31 | faithful is the saying (formula) | πιστὸς ὁ λόγος | विश्वसनीयं वचनम् | viśvasanīyaṃ vacanam | Low | Sound Doctrine and Good Works | — | Titus 3:8; built on baseline विश्वासः root, marking 3:4-7 as a reliable doctrinal summary. |
| 32 | sound doctrine (health metaphor) | ὑγιαίνουσα διδασκαλία | स्वस्थं शिक्षणम् | svasthaṃ śikṣaṇam | Medium-High | Sound Doctrine and Good Works | धर्मशास्त्रम् (too closely tied to the fixed dharmaśāstra legal-ritual corpus) | Titus 2:1 and passim (also 1:9, 1:13, 2:8). शिक्षणम् (general “teaching”) chosen over शास्त्रम् to avoid implying a closed, competing canonical corpus. |
3. Terms Requiring Mandatory Human Theologian Review (Critical Tier)
Per the Romans baseline’s escalation rules, extended here for Titus:
- ἐπιφάνεια/ἐπεφάνη → प्राकट्यम् (2:11, 2:13, 3:4) — avatāra-adjacency risk
- θεὸς καὶ σωτήρ (Deity of Christ construction, 2:13)
- σωτήρ → त्राता (throughout)
- παλιγγενεσία → नवसृष्टिः (3:5) — highest-stakes new coinage in this glossary
- ἔσωσεν (verbal “saved,” 3:5) — inherits baseline त्राणम् restrictions
- δικαιωθέντες (3:7) — inherits baseline धर्मीति निर्णयः requirements
- καλὰ/ἀγαθὰ ἔργα (good works, all 6 occurrences) — dual-register grace/works distinction
- πνεῦμα ἅγιον (3:5) — inherits baseline पवित्र आत्मा personhood-note requirement
- ἔργα … ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ (works of righteousness, negative use, 3:5)
4. Terms Requiring Human Theologian Review (High Tier)
παιδεύουσα/ἀνυσασανम् (2:12); λυτρόω/उद्धरणम् (2:14); λουτρόν/स्नानम् (3:5); ἀνακαίνωσις/नवीकरणम् (3:5); ὑποτάσσω family/अधीनताम् स्वीकुर्वन्तु (2:5, 2:9, 3:1); ἐπίγνωσις ἀληθείας/सत्यस्य परिज्ञानम् (1:1); εὐσέβεια/सर्वेश्वरनिष्ठा (1:1, 2:12); σώφρων family/आत्मसंयमः (throughout); μῦθοι/कल्पितकथाः (1:14).
5. Terms Recommended for Sanskrit-Scholar (Medium Tier) Review
λαὸς περιούσιος (2:14); ἔλεος/कृपा (3:5); ἐλπίς/प्रत्याशा (1:2, 2:13, 3:7); ζωὴ αἰώνιος/नित्यं जीवनम् (1:2, 3:7); ἀρχαί ἐξουσίαι/राजानः अधिकारिणश्च (3:1); πρεσβύτερος/प्राचीनः (1:5); ἐπίσκοπος/अध्यक्षः (1:7); θεοῦ οἰκονόμος (1:7); μωραὶ ζητήσεις (3:9); αἱρετικὸς ἄνθρωπος/भेदकारी जनः (3:10); συνείδησις/अन्तःसाक्षी (1:15); κληρονόμοι/उत्तराधिकारिणः (3:7); ἀγάπη/प्रेम (2:2, passim); ὑγιαίνουσα διδασκαλία/स्वस्थं शिक्षणम् (throughout).
This glossary extends, and does not modify, the Romans baseline translation_memory.json. All Titus-specific new terms above are to be submitted as a version increment (translation_memory version N+1) before Phase 2 segment translation of Titus begins, per 12_ai_translation_requirements.md §“Translation Memory Load and Enforcement Instructions.”
Critical Risk Terms
Righteousness
Approved rendering: धार्मिकता
Transliteration: dhārmikatā
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: धर्मः, न्यायः, पुण्यम्
Original: δικαιοσύνη
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. In Titus 3:5 explicitly EXCLUDED as the ground of salvation (‘works done by us in righteousness’); in 2:12 named as the grace-produced manner of living. Never bare धर्मः; mandatory explicit redefinition at every occurrence per book.
Justification
Approved rendering: धर्मीति निर्णयः
Transliteration: dharmīti nirṇayaḥ
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: क्षमा, पुण्यार्जनम्
Original: δικαιόω (δικαιωθέντες)
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Occurs at Titus 3:7 (‘being justified by his grace’). Retains its Mīmāṃsā/Nyāya-derived forensic weight: a formally reasoned, declared conclusion, not a private feeling or self-argued merit.
Salvation
Approved rendering: त्राणम्
Transliteration: trāṇam
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: मोक्षः, मुक्तिः, निर्वाणम्
Original: σῴζω (ἔσωσεν) / σωτηρία
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Verbal use at Titus 3:5 (‘he saved us,’ त्राणं कृतवान् / अत्रायत). NEVER मोक्षः, मुक्तिः, or निर्वाणम् — rescue by a personal God, not Self-achieved liberation from saṃsāra.
Holy Spirit
Approved rendering: पवित्र आत्मा
Transliteration: pavitra ātmā
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: ब्रह्मन्, परमात्मा
Original: πνεῦμα ἅγιον
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package. Named as agent of regeneration and renewal at Titus 3:5. This risk is ESPECIALLY acute in Titus because it co-occurs at 3:5 with regeneration/new-creation language (नवसृष्टिः), maximizing the risk of an ātman-Brahman mahāvākya recall. Additional Titus-specific note required at 3:5: the Spirit renews the believer; the believer does not become, realize, or discover identity with the Spirit.
Father
Approved rendering: पिता
Transliteration: pitā
Doctrine: Adoption into God’s Family
Rejected alternatives: ब्रह्मा, प्रजापतिः
Original: πατήρ
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package. Invoked in the greeting of Titus 1:4. Never ब्रह्मा (Purāṇic trimūrti creator) or प्रजापतिः.
Jesus
Approved rendering: यीशुः
Transliteration: yīśuḥ
Doctrine: Christology
Original: Ἰησοῦς
Category: Christology
Inherited from Romans package. Follows the Serampore Sanskrit New Testament (1808) precedent; used throughout Titus.
God
Approved rendering: सर्वेश्वरः
Transliteration: sarveśvaraḥ
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: ईश्वरः, ब्रह्मन्, भगवान्, देवः
Original: θεός
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package. Named throughout Titus (1:1, 1:3-4, 2:10, 2:13, 3:4). Never bare ईश्वरः, ब्रह्मन्, भगवान्, or देवः. Most critically applied to Christ himself at Titus 2:13 (see ‘great_god_and_savior’ entry) — this is the sharpest test case in either curriculum of सर्वेश्वरः’s ability to foreclose a ‘one god among many’ reading.
Saving Grace
Approved rendering: त्राणकरः
Transliteration: trāṇakaraḥ
Doctrine: Salvation
Original: σωτήριος
Category: Salvation
NEW. Titus 2:11 (σωτήριος, adjective describing grace itself as saving agent, agreeing with masculine अनुग्रहः). Built transparently on baseline त्राणम् + करः (‘-making’); inherits all Critical-tier forbidden-substitution rules — never a मोक्ष/मुक्ति-root adjective.
Appearing Epiphany
Approved rendering: प्राकट्यम्
Transliteration: prākaṭyam
Doctrine: Incarnation / Second Coming
Rejected alternatives: आविर्भावः, प्रादुर्भावः
Original: ἐπιφάνεια / ἐπεφάνη
Category: Christology
NEW. Brackets the whole core passage (Titus 2:11, 2:13, 3:4: grace ‘appeared,’ kindness ‘appeared,’ Christ’s future glorious ‘appearing’). आविर्भावः and प्रादुर्भावः are REJECTED because both are standing Purāṇic/Gītā vocabulary for a deity’s periodic manifestation-in-the-world, directly parallel to Bhagavad Gītā 4.6-8’s avatāra language (‘yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati… tadātmānaṃ sṛjāmyaham’). प्राकट्यम् (from prakaṭa, ‘evident, plain, manifest’) is the least philosophically encumbered option but MUST carry a mandatory note at every occurrence: this names a unique, twice-total, linear-historical appearing (past incarnation, future singular return), never a repeatable dharma-restoring descent with named prior/future instances.
Great God And Savior
Approved rendering: महान् सर्वेश्वरः त्राता च
Transliteration: mahān sarveśvaraḥ trātā ca
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: splitting into two referents (“the great God, and our Savior Jesus Christ”)
Original: τοῦ μεγάλου θεοῦ καὶ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
Category: Christology
NEW. Titus 2:13’s Granville Sharp construction: a single Greek article governs both nouns, naming Jesus Christ himself both ‘the great God’ and ‘our Savior’ — ONE referent. Must be rendered as a single unbroken genitive/appositive chain, never split into Father-and-Son referents — a lapse especially tempting in Sanskrit given the strong instinct to reserve सर्वेश्वरः for the Father alone. Mandatory Human theologian review at every occurrence; the single highest-priority segment in the Titus package alongside Titus 3:5.
Savior
Approved rendering: त्राता
Transliteration: trātā
Doctrine: Salvation / Deity of Christ
Original: σωτήρ
Category: Christology
NEW. Titus’s dominant divine title, applied to both the Father (1:3, 2:10, 3:4) and the Son (1:4, 2:13, 3:6). Agent noun sharing baseline त्राणम्’s √trā root, giving a clean noun/agent-noun pair (त्राणम्/त्राता) exactly parallel to σωτηρία/σωτήρ, without introducing a new root or any मोक्ष-family liability.
Self Giving Atonement
Approved rendering: आत्मानम् अस्मदर्थं ददौ
Transliteration: ātmānam asmadarthaṃ dadau
Doctrine: Atonement
NEW. Titus 2:14a (ἔδωκεν ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, ‘who gave himself for us’). Christ’s voluntary substitutionary self-offering, the ground of the redemption (उद्धरणम्) that follows in the same verse. Must be flagged per the baseline’s escalation rule for atonement/propitiation language (cf. Romans 3:25); mandatory Human theologian review at every occurrence.
Good Works
Approved rendering: सत्कर्माणि
Transliteration: satkarmāṇi
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works / Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: शुभानि कर्माणि
Original: καλὰ/ἀγαθὰ ἔργα (bare ἔργα in the negative sense of 3:5)
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Titus’s most structurally important recurring phrase (1:16; 2:7, 2:14; 3:1, 3:8, 3:14), and, in bare negative form, excluded at 3:5. कर्मन् is unavoidably the base word of the karma-mīmāṃsā/karma-yoga apparatus (meritorious action mechanically produces karma-phala). शुभानि कर्माणि rejected (शुभ carries the same astrological/auspicious-omen connotation already rejected for ‘gospel’ in the baseline). MANDATORY dual-register note at EVERY occurrence, not only first use: (a) at 3:5, works are excluded as the GROUND of salvation; (b) elsewhere, works are the NECESSARY, grace-produced FRUIT of salvation already given, never its cause or the automatic outworking of karma-phala.
Regeneration
Approved rendering: नवसृष्टिः
Transliteration: navasṛṣṭiḥ
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Rejected alternatives: नवजन्म, पुनर्जन्म, any पुनः+जन्म compound
Original: παλιγγενεσία
Category: Salvation
NEW — the single highest-stakes new coinage in this Language Package extension. Titus 3:5 (παλιγγενεσία, ‘again-becoming’). Etymologically identical in shape to पुनर्जन्म, the Romans baseline’s own FORBIDDEN term for transmigration via karmāśaya (latent karmic residue) and liṅga-śarīra (the migrating subtle body). A literal morpheme-for-morpheme rendering (पुनः+जन्म) would recreate, in a brand-new coinage, exactly the collision the baseline’s resurrection entry was built to avoid — arguably worse, since ‘regeneration’ more naturally suggests rebirth than ‘resurrection’ does. नवसृष्टिः is built on सृष्टि (‘creation,’ cosmogonic, no cyclical-embodiment baggage) rather than जन्म (‘birth’). NEVER पुनर्जन्म or any पुनः+जन्म compound. Mandatory note at its one occurrence: a single, one-time spiritual re-creation, categorically different from repeated physical rebirths.
High Risk Terms
Gospel
Approved rendering: सुसमाचारः
Transliteration: susamācāraḥ
Doctrine: Gospel
Rejected alternatives: शुभवार्ता
Original: εὐαγγέλιον / κήρυγμα
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. In Titus the concept surfaces through the entrusted κήρυγμα of 1:3 (सुसमाचारप्रचारः, ‘mission’ entry) rather than the bare noun; still the unique historical proclamation, not one more śāstra among the darśanas.
Grace
Approved rendering: अनुग्रहः
Transliteration: anugrahaḥ
Doctrine: Grace
Rejected alternatives: कृपा, प्रसादः, पुण्यम्
Original: χάρις
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Governing theme of Titus 2:11 and 3:7. Must remain visibly distinct from कृपा (mercy, ἔλεος, 3:5, see ‘mercy’ entry below) so the two concepts are not collapsed into one undifferentiated term.
Faith
Approved rendering: विश्वासः
Transliteration: viśvāsaḥ
Doctrine: Faith
Rejected alternatives: श्रद्धा, भक्तिः
Original: πίστις
Category: Faith
Inherited from Romans package. Occurs throughout Titus (1:1, 1:4, 1:13; 2:2, 2:10; 3:8, 3:15). Never श्रद्धा (Gītā 17’s threefold guṇa-classified term) or भक्तिः (a full soteriological path).
Holy
Approved rendering: पवित्रम्
Transliteration: pavitram
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: शुद्धम्
Original: ἅγιος / ἱεροπρεπής
Category: Sanctification
Inherited from Romans package. Underlies ἱεροπρεπής (‘befitting sacred service’) at Titus 2:3. Moral/relational set-apartness, not the Vedic ritual-mechanical purity sense of pavitra’s root.
Law
Approved rendering: विधिः
Transliteration: vidhiḥ
Doctrine: Covenant
Rejected alternatives: धर्मः, धर्मशास्त्रम्
Original: νόμος (νομικός, νομικαί)
Category: Covenant
Inherited from Romans package. Referenced at Titus 3:9 (‘quarrels about the law’) and 3:13 (Zenas ‘the lawyer,’ विधिवेत्ता). Retains Pūrva Mīmāṃsā’s technical precision as a binding scriptural injunction.
Sin
Approved rendering: पापम्
Transliteration: pāpam
Doctrine: Universal Human Accountability
Rejected alternatives: अधर्मः
Original: ἁμαρτάνω / ἁμαρτία
Category: Sin
Inherited from Romans package. In view at Titus 3:11 (the self-condemned divisive person) and underlying the whole 3:3-5 contrast. Must not be read as resolved through dharmaśāstra ritual penance (prāyaścitta) rather than Christ’s atoning self-gift (2:14).
Glory
Approved rendering: महिमा
Transliteration: mahimā
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: तेजस्
Original: δόξα
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package. Titus 2:13, describing Christ’s future glorious appearing. Never तेजस् (the Devī Māhātmyam’s radiant-substance metaphysics).
Election
Approved rendering: परमेश्वरस्य वरणम्
Transliteration: parameśvarasya varaṇam
Doctrine: Effectual Calling
Rejected alternatives: भाग्यम्, दैवम्
Original: ἐκλογή (κατὰ πίστιν ἐκλεκτῶν θεοῦ)
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Invoked at Titus 1:1 (‘the faith of God’s elect’). Never भाग्यम् or दैवम् (impersonal fate/fortune).
Grace Training
Approved rendering: अनुशासनम्
Transliteration: anuśāsanam
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: संयमः, दीक्षा
Original: παιδεύουσα / παιδεία
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Titus 2:12 (παιδεύουσα, ‘training us’). संयमः rejected as Patañjali’s technical eighth-limb term (Yoga Sūtra 3.4); दीक्षा rejected as formal guru-lineage ritual initiation. Must always be grammatically construed with अनुग्रहः as subject/agent (e.g. ‘अनुग्रहः अस्मान् अनुशासति’) so grace’s active pedagogical agency, not the pupil’s own effort, is syntactically forced. Reverses dharmaśāstra’s duty-precedes-result sequence: here training FOLLOWS salvation already given.
Redemption
Approved rendering: उद्धरणम्
Transliteration: uddharaṇam
Doctrine: Atonement
Rejected alternatives: विमोचनम्/मोचयति, निस्तारणम्
Original: λυτρόω / λύτρον
Category: Salvation
NEW. Titus 2:14 (λυτρώσηται, ‘redeem’). विमोचनम्/मोचयति rejected because they share the √muc root with the forbidden मोक्षः. निस्तारणम् rejected as bhakti-mārga’s ‘crossing the ocean of saṃsāra’ imagery. उद्धरणम् names a historical, once-for-all rescue paid by another (Christ’s self-gift, 2:14a), not a repeated grace-cycle within an ongoing rebirth framework. Flag per baseline escalation rule for atonement language.
Washing Regeneration
Approved rendering: स्नानम्
Transliteration: snānam
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Original: λουτρόν
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Titus 3:5 (λουτρόν, ‘washing’). स्नान is the standard term for ritual/literal bathing, central to Hindu daily purificatory practice (self-performed, mechanically efficacious rite: pūjā ablution, sacred-river bathing). No better lexical alternative exists for the washing image itself, but a MANDATORY note is required at every occurrence: this names God’s own cleansing act done TO the believer, not a rite the believer performs to attain purity.
Renewal
Approved rendering: नवीकरणम्
Transliteration: navīkaraṇam
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Original: ἀνακαίνωσις
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Titus 3:5 (ἀνακαίνωσις), paired with but distinct from the once-for-all παλιγγενεσία/नवसृष्टिः: the Spirit’s ONGOING renewing work. Must be kept visibly distinct from नवसृष्टिः so readers do not collapse the once-for-all regenerative act into the Spirit’s continuing sanctifying work, or vice versa.
Submission To Authority
Approved rendering: अधीनताम् स्वीकुर्वन्तु
Transliteration: adhīnatām svīkurvantu
Doctrine: Submission to Authority
Rejected alternatives: caste-specific strī-dharma vocabulary, caste-specific dāsa-dharma vocabulary
Original: ὑποτάσσω (family)
Category: Church
NEW. One Greek verb (ὑποτάσσω) governs THREE distinct relationships in Titus: wives to husbands (2:5), slaves to masters (2:9), citizens to civil rulers (3:1). This single non-role-specific phrase MUST be used consistently across all three occurrences — never three independently chosen dharmaśāstra role-specific terms — so the NT’s distinctive voluntary, Christ-modeled submission is not silently absorbed into the pre-existing varṇāśrama household hierarchy. The slave/master occurrence (2:9) requires an explicit note that this is historically situated pastoral instruction, not a perpetual endorsement of servitude or caste hierarchy, given India’s own history of caste-linked servitude and untouchability.
Knowledge Of Truth
Approved rendering: सत्यस्य परिज्ञानम्
Transliteration: satyasya parijñānam
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Rejected alternatives: ज्ञानम् (bare)
Original: ἐπίγνωσις ἀληθείας
Category: Faith
NEW. Titus 1:1 (ἐπίγνωσις ἀληθείας). Bare ज्ञानम् rejected as the central technical term of jñāna-mārga (Vedānta’s path of Self-realizing knowledge that ātman is Brahman), a complete self-attained soteriological path. परिज्ञानम् plus the genitive सत्यस्य (‘of the truth,’ an external, given, propositional referent) fences against the unqualified self-attained-insight reading. Never permit bare ज्ञानम् to stand for this concept anywhere in Titus material.
Godliness
Approved rendering: सर्वेश्वरनिष्ठा
Transliteration: sarveśvaraniṣṭhā
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: सर्वेश्वरभक्तिः
Original: εὐσέβεια
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Titus 1:1, 2:12 (εὐσέβεια). सर्वेश्वरभक्तिः rejected because baseline भक्तिः already names a fully theorized soteriological path (bhakti-mārga). सर्वेश्वरनिष्ठा names general reverent fidelity/devotion to God as a lived ethical quality without invoking that technical category.
Self Control
Approved rendering: आत्मसंयमः
Transliteration: ātmasaṃyamaḥ
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living / Qualifications for Elders
Rejected alternatives: जितेन्द्रियः, संयमी (strict Yoga Sūtra 3.4 sense)
Original: σώφρων / σωφρόνως / σωφρονίζω
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Recurs throughout Titus (1:8; 2:2, 2:4, 2:5, 2:6, 2:12: σώφρων/σωφρόνως/σωφρονίζω). Never जितेन्द्रियः (Bhagavad Gītā 2.61’s technical self-effort sense-conquest term) or संयमी in Patañjali’s strict combined dhāraṇā-dhyāna-samādhi sense (Yoga Sūtra 3.4). MUST be taught, at EVERY occurrence (not only first use, given six separate occurrences across the letter), as grace’s own fruit (2:12’s παιδεύουσα), never self-achieved ascetic/yogic mastery earning liberation.
Myths
Approved rendering: कल्पितकथाः
Transliteration: kalpitakathāḥ
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Rejected alternatives: पुराणकथाः, any पुराण-derived compound
Original: μῦθοι
Category: Sound Doctrine
NEW. Titus 1:14 (μῦθοι), fabricated Jewish legendary material distracting from sound doctrine. NEVER render with पुराण-derived vocabulary: Purāṇa names the Hindu scriptural corpus itself, and a pejorative rendering built on it would cause gratuitous, unrelated offense (the text’s actual target is Jewish legendary material, not Hindu scripture).
Divisive Person
Approved rendering: भेदकारी जनः
Transliteration: bhedakārī janaḥ
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Rejected alternatives: सम्प्रदायभेदकः
Original: αἱρετικὸς ἄνθρωπος
Category: Church
NEW. Titus 3:10 (αἱρετικὸς ἄνθρωπος), to be admonished twice then avoided. सम्प्रदायभेदकः rejected because सम्प्रदाय names a specific, often venerable, transmission-lineage tradition; using it would risk implying that founding or belonging to a distinct tradition is itself the fault, when the fault named is persistent, unrepentant division-causing conduct after admonition. Never gloss with सम्प्रदाय-based language.
Love
Approved rendering: प्रेम
Transliteration: prema
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Original: ἀγάπη
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Titus 2:2 and throughout the virtue lists (ἀγάπη). Carries resonance with Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava prema-bhakti, the culminating ecstatic devotional stage in Caitanya theology. Retained as best available option but flagged High (not merely Medium) because this named theorized devotional category may color a Sanskrit-literate reader’s hearing; प्रीतिः (plain ‘affection’) remains a case-by-case alternative where the ecstatic-devotional overtone is unhelpful.
Medium Risk Terms
Apostle
Approved rendering: प्रेषितः
Transliteration: preṣitaḥ
Doctrine: Apostleship
Rejected alternatives: गुरुः, ऋषिः
Original: ἀπόστολος
Category: Church
Inherited from Romans package. Paul’s self-designation, Titus 1:1. Distinguished from गुरुः (guru-lineage teacher) and ऋषिः (Vedic seer of eternal, uncreated mantras).
Peace
Approved rendering: शान्तिः
Transliteration: śāntiḥ
Doctrine: Peace with God
Rejected alternatives: निर्वृत्तिः
Original: εἰρήνη
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Part of the ‘grace and peace’ greeting-pair at Titus 1:4.
Mission
Approved rendering: सुसमाचारप्रचारः
Transliteration: susamācāraprachāraḥ
Doctrine: Mission to the Nations
Original: κήρυγμα
Category: Church
Inherited from Romans package. Underlies the κήρυγμα (‘preaching’) entrusted to Paul at Titus 1:3. Descriptive, non-triumphalist tone appropriate to this Language Package’s scholarly/liturgical audience.
Peculiar People
Approved rendering: स्वकीया प्रजा
Transliteration: svakīyā prajā
Doctrine: Covenant / Election
Original: λαὸς περιούσιος
Category: Covenant
NEW. Titus 2:14 (λαὸς περιούσιος), echoing Exodus 19:5. Plain possessive-adjective + ‘people,’ deliberately avoiding any caste/lineage noun (jāti, gotra, varṇa) that would smuggle in a birth-based rather than covenant-based membership criterion. Ties to baseline election/covenant entries without suggesting ethnic-Israel replacement rhetoric.
Mercy
Approved rendering: कृपा
Transliteration: kṛpā
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Original: ἔλεος
Category: Salvation
NEW. Titus 3:5 (ἔλεος), God’s compassion on human wretchedness (cf. 3:3), the ground of salvation, distinct in nuance from χάρις. कृपा was REJECTED as the rendering for grace in the Romans baseline (too easily read as ordinary favor); it is appropriate HERE for the distinct concept of pity-on-the-miserable, PROVIDED कृपा and अनुग्रहः remain visibly distinct terms within the same passage (3:4-5) rather than being collapsed for stylistic elegance.
Hope
Approved rendering: प्रत्याशा
Transliteration: pratyāśā
Doctrine: Eschatology
Rejected alternatives: आशा
Original: ἐλπίς
Category: Eschatology
NEW. Titus 1:2, 2:13, 3:7. आशा rejected because it overlaps with tṛṣṇā-adjacent ‘craving/wanting,’ the disposition classical Indian soteriology treats as the root of bondage and suffering. प्रत्याशा (‘confident expectation’) better suits hope grounded in a certain divine promise. Flag for Phase 2 consistency-checking across its three separated chapter occurrences.
Eternal Life
Approved rendering: नित्यं जीवनम्
Transliteration: nityaṃ jīvanam
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: सनातनं जीवनम्
Original: ζωὴ αἰώνιος
Category: Eschatology
NEW. Titus 1:2, 3:7. सनातन rejected as the proper self-designation of ‘Sanātana Dharma,’ the traditional name of the Hindu religious system; avoid सनातन generally for ‘eternal’ in this curriculum, preferring नित्य/अनादि. Must be taught as a GRANTED inheritance through justification, not the ātman’s own intrinsic eternal nature (cf. Bhagavad Gītā 2.20, ‘na jāyate mriyate vā kadācit’).
Civil Authorities
Approved rendering: राजानः अधिकारिणश्च
Transliteration: rājānaḥ adhikāriṇaśca
Doctrine: Submission to Authority
Original: ἀρχαί, ἐξουσίαι
Category: Civil Authority
NEW. Titus 3:1 (ἀρχαί, ἐξουσίαι). Plain civil-governance vocabulary with no major competing technical sense.
Overseer
Approved rendering: अध्यक्षः
Transliteration: adhyakṣaḥ
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Original: ἐπίσκοπος
Category: Church
NEW. Titus 1:7 (ἐπίσκοπος), used interchangeably with πρεσβύτερος. A plain administrative/supervisory term, avoiding both guru-lineage and hierarchical-institutional connotations.
Elder
Approved rendering: प्राचीनः
Transliteration: prācīnaḥ
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Rejected alternatives: गुरुः
Original: πρεσβύτερος
Category: Church
NEW. Titus 1:5 (πρεσβύτερος). Never गुरुः, which would invoke the entire guru-śiṣya-paramparā lineage-transmission system rather than a plural, congregation-specific office.
Gods Steward
Approved rendering: सर्वेश्वरस्य गृहव्यवस्थापकः
Transliteration: sarveśvarasya gṛhavyavasthāpakaḥ
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Original: θεοῦ οἰκονόμος
Category: Church
NEW. Titus 1:7 (θεοῦ οἰκονόμος). Plain household-management vocabulary; no significant competing technical sense.
Foolish Controversies
Approved rendering: मूढाः विवादाः
Transliteration: mūḍhāḥ vivādāḥ
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Original: μωραὶ ζητήσεις
Category: Sound Doctrine
NEW. Titus 3:9 (μωραὶ ζητήσεις). Plain descriptive vocabulary for unprofitable speculation; no major competing technical sense.
Slave Of God
Approved rendering: सर्वेश्वरस्य दासः
Transliteration: sarveśvarasya dāsaḥ
Doctrine: Universal Human Sinfulness Prior to Grace / Christian Identity
Original: δοῦλος θεοῦ
Category: Church
NEW. Titus 1:1 (δοῦλος θεοῦ), Paul’s self-identification of total ownership by and submission to God. दास carries positive devotional-bhakti resonance (‘-dāsa’ is common in Vaiṣṇava devotional names), a helpful bridge term. MUST be used consistently with the same root at 3:3’s negative ‘slaves of desires’ (कामनानां दासाः) to preserve Paul’s deliberate irony: slavery to sin contrasted with slavery to God.
Conscience
Approved rendering: अन्तःसाक्षी
Transliteration: antaḥsākṣī
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Rejected alternatives: अन्तःकरणम्
Original: συνείδησις
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Titus 1:15 (συνείδησις), the defiled conscience of false teachers. अन्तःकरणम् rejected as the Sāṃkhya/Vedānta technical fourfold ‘inner instrument’ (manas, buddhi, ahaṃkāra, citta). अन्तःसाक्षी (‘inner witness’) keeps the sense without importing that specific psychological apparatus.
Heirs Inheritance
Approved rendering: उत्तराधिकारिणः
Transliteration: uttarādhikāriṇaḥ
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: दत्तकग्रहणम्-based partial-share terms
Original: κληρονόμοι
Category: Salvation
NEW. Titus 3:7 (κληρονόμοι). Consonant with the Romans baseline’s adoption entry (complete inheritance rights), deliberately not modeled on दत्तकग्रहणम्’s partial dattaka-grahaṇa inheritance-share rules.
Sound Doctrine
Approved rendering: स्वस्थं शिक्षणम्
Transliteration: svasthaṃ śikṣaṇam
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Rejected alternatives: धर्मशास्त्रम्, शास्त्रम्
Original: ὑγιαίνουσα διδασκαλία
Category: Sound Doctrine
NEW. Recurs throughout Titus (1:9, 1:13, 2:1, 2:8: ὑγιαίνουσα διδασκαλία, medical ‘health’ metaphor). शास्त्रम् rejected as too closely tied to a fixed, closed canonical-textual-corpus tied to a specific darśana or scriptural tradition, risking a ‘one school among the darśanas’ reading. शिक्षणम् (general ‘teaching’) preserves the health metaphor via स्वस्थ without that implication; should be anaphorically qualified in context (‘this sound teaching,’ referring back to the gospel already stated).
Ungodliness
Approved rendering: निरीश्वरभावः
Transliteration: nirīśvarabhāvaḥ
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: अश्रद्धा
Original: ἀσέβεια
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Titus 2:12 (ἀσέβεια), renounced through grace’s training. The direct negation of εὐσέβεια/सर्वेश्वरनिष्ठा; names godlessness of disposition without invoking a specific philosophical school.
Purify
Approved rendering: शोधयति
Transliteration: śodhayati
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Original: καθαρίζω (καθαρίσῃ)
Category: Sanctification
NEW. Titus 2:14 (καθαρίσῃ), Christ’s moral/spiritual purification of a people for himself. Must be distinguished from dharmaśāstra’s prescribed ritual purification procedures (śuddhi, prāyaścitta) for specific ritual-impurity events, per the baseline’s parallel caution under ‘sin.‘
Lawlessness
Approved rendering: विधिलङ्घनम्
Transliteration: vidhilaṅghanam
Doctrine: Sin
Rejected alternatives: अविधित्वम्
Original: ἀνομία
Category: Sin
NEW. Titus 2:14 (ἀνομία), from which Christ redeems believers. Ties to the baseline विधिः (‘law’) entry; names violation of a divinely authoritative injunction, not vague general wrongdoing.
Low Risk Terms
Exhort
Approved rendering: उत्तेजनम्
Transliteration: uttejanam
Doctrine: Mutual Edification
Original: παρακαλέω
Category: Faith
Inherited from Romans package. Titus 2:15. Context-sensitive between entreaty and encouragement.
One Woman Man
Approved rendering: एकपत्नीव्रतः
Transliteration: ekapatnīvrataḥ
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Original: μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἀνήρ
Category: Church
NEW. Titus 1:6 (μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἀνήρ). A positive-resonance term (the classical epithet of Rāma in the Rāmāyaṇa); denotes simple marital faithfulness here, not a formal ritual vrata category.
Faithful Saying
Approved rendering: विश्वसनीयं वचनम्
Transliteration: viśvasanīyaṃ vacanam
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Original: πιστὸς ὁ λόγος
Category: Faith
NEW. Titus 3:8 (πιστὸς ὁ λόγος), a fixed Pastoral Epistles formula marking 3:4-7 as a reliable doctrinal summary. Built on baseline विश्वासः root.
Worldly Passions
Approved rendering: ऐहिककामनाः
Transliteration: aihikakāmanāḥ
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
NEW. Titus 2:12 (κοσμικαὶ ἐπιθυμίαι), desires bound to ‘this present age,’ contrasted with the age to come. Plain compound, no significant technical collision.
Genealogies
Approved rendering: वंशावल्यः
Transliteration: vaṃśāvalyaḥ
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
NEW. Titus 3:9 (γενεαλογίαι), distracting speculative lineage disputes named alongside foolish controversies.
