Passage

  ROM.5.1-2

  Grace

  Unmerited favor received by faith alone.

  ROM.5.2, ROM.5.15-17, ROM.5.20-21

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  Gracia is standard across all Spanish Bible traditions, but Catholic catechesis historically frames grace as infused and increased through sacramental cooperation and merit, while Reina-Valera (Reformation-descended) usage stresses unmerited favor received by faith alone.

  ROM.5.2, ROM.5.15-17, ROM.5.20-21

• Doctrine

  Humanity of Christ

  Real physical human nature; low risk in Hispanic Christian culture, which does not carry a maya/illusion framework, but should still be taught explicitly alongside deity of Christ to avoid docetic drift.

  Peace

  In Romans 5:1, relational peace with God through justification, not merely inner calm or the absence of stress.

  ROM.5.1
