Romans 10

• Doctrine

  Evangelism

  CRITICAL: Open evangelism and conversion from Islam carry extreme, sometimes lethal, risk in large parts of Somalia, particularly areas under armed extremist control; this is among the most physically dangerous doctrines in this entire pipeline to handle carelessly.

  ROM.10.14-15

• Doctrine

  Faith

  Personal trust in Christ specifically, not assent to the pillars of Islamic iimaan in the abstract.

  ROM.10.9-10, ROM.10.17

• Glossary Term

  Faith

  Iimaan is shared with Islamic vocabulary (the pillars of belief).

  ROM.10.9-10, ROM.10.17

• Doctrine

  Fulfillment of Prophecy

  Linear historical fulfillment culminating in Christ contrasts with a pattern of successive, largely self-contained prophets each restating the same core message; Romans' cumulative, converging OT argument needs explicit unpacking.

  ROM.10.11

• Glossary Term

  Gentiles

  Quruumaha ('the nations,' i.e.

  ROM.10.12

• Doctrine

  Gospel

  Must be distinguished from Injiilka treated purely as a disputed, allegedly corrupted book.

  ROM.10.15-16

• Glossary Term

  Gospel

  Injiilka is the established Somali term, shared with the Qur'anic name for the revelation given to Ciise, which Islamic doctrine treats as historically altered (tahriif).

  ROM.10.15-16

• Glossary Term

  Intercession

  Prayer on behalf of others, or Christ's/the Spirit's mediating work.

  ROM.10.1

• Glossary Term

  Israel

  Proper name; established Somali Bible form.

  ROM.10.12

• Glossary Term

  Jesus

  CRITICAL: Ciise is the shared Somali/Qur'anic name for Jesus and alone signals only the Qur'anic prophet-Jesus to most readers.

  ROM.10.9, ROM.10.12

• Glossary Term

  Justification

  A forensic declaration ('having been proven/declared righteous'), not merely forgiveness.

  ROM.10.1, ROM.10.10

• Glossary Term

  Law

  HIGH: Somali lacks a clean separate word the way some languages distinguish civil/secular law from Islamic law; sharci is used for both.

  ROM.10.11

• Glossary Term

  Lord

  Established Somali Bible term.

  ROM.10.9, ROM.10.12

• Doctrine

  Lordship of Christ

  CRITICAL: Romans 10:9 — Ciise waa Rabbiga is the salvation confession and must be rendered without qualification.

  ROM.10.9, ROM.10.12

• Doctrine

  Prayer and Intercession

  Sufi-influenced Somali Islam practices shafeeco (intercession sought through a sheekh or wali, often at a grave during siyaaro), while a vocal Salafi-influenced current within contemporary Somali Islam rejects the same practice as shirk.

  ROM.10.1

• Glossary Term

  Prophecy

  God-inspired declaration pointing to Christ.

  ROM.10.11

• Glossary Term

  Righteousness

  CRITICAL: Never present as equivalent to camal wanaagsan (good deeds), the works-ledger category central to Islamic judgment theology.

  ROM.10.1, ROM.10.10

• Doctrine

  Salvation

  CRITICAL: Salvation received now through Christ's finished work, not an outcome deferred to Allah's undisclosed judgment.

  ROM.10.1, ROM.10.10

• Glossary Term

  Salvation

  CRITICAL: Badbaado ('rescue/deliverance') is the established term for deliverance through Christ's death and resurrection, received now.

  ROM.10.1, ROM.10.10

• Doctrine

  Unity of Jews and Gentiles

  Elevated above Medium in this Language Package because clan (qabiil) division, not ethnicity in the abstract, is the primary social fault line Somali readers will map this doctrine onto; a soft or vague rendering risks being heard as an abstract theological point rather than the direct challenge to clan hierarchy Paul intends.

  ROM.10.12

• Doctrine

  Universal Scope of the Gospel

  No ethnic, clan, or national barrier to the gospel.

  ROM.10.12-13
