Romans 14

• Glossary Term

  Jesus

  Standard, well-established Shona Bible transliteration.

  ROM.14.9

• Glossary Term

  Kingdom Of God

  God's sovereign reign; distinguish from a territorial or ethnic kingdom (Zimbabwe's own history of chiefdoms and kingship gives 'umambo' strong political connotations that need reframing).

  ROM.14.17

• Glossary Term

  Lord

  Must convey exclusive, supreme lordship.

  ROM.14.9

• Doctrine

  Lordship of Jesus Christ

  Christ's lordship (Ishe) must be taught as exceeding and relativizing any human chieftaincy claim, since Ishe is also a traditional title of respect for a chief.

  ROM.14.9

• Glossary Term

  Messiah

  The Anointed One promised in the Old Testament, fulfilled exclusively in Jesus; 'Kristu' (Christ) is used interchangeably in Shona Bibles but 'Mesiasi' preserves the Jewish messianic expectation background.

  ROM.14.9

• Doctrine

  The Kingdom of God

  God's sovereign reign, not a territorial or ethnic kingdom; Zimbabwe's own history of chiefdoms gives this term strong political connotations needing reframing.

  ROM.14.17
