Salvation

CRITICAL: wokovu is the correct and only viable Union Version term. Risk is not a wrong native word but a wrong theological framework: Islamic soteriology has no atonement or substitutionary framework, understanding entry to paradise as Allah’s mercy weighed against a person’s deeds; readers with Islamic background or exposure may default to a merit-weighing model unless Romans’ basis for salvation in Christ’s finished work (10:9-10) is stated explicitly. peponi (paradise) must never stand in for wokovu itself, as it names a destination, not the saving act.
