Passage

Romans 13

• Glossary Term

  Justification

  CRITICAL: formally remains Svenska kyrkan's (Church of Sweden) confessional Lutheran doctrine, but widespread secularization and folk-church ('folkkyrka') culture mean most nominal members have little catechetical grounding in what this term actually means.

  ROM.13.11

• Glossary Term

  Righteousness

  CRITICAL: shared Lutheran Reformation-era doctrinal core; a right standing given and credited through faith, not human moral virtue ('dygd').

  ROM.13.11

• Doctrine

  Salvation

  HIGH RISK, distinctly Swedish: 'frälsning' is strongly associated with the Salvation Army brand and older revivalist preaching style, risking a dated or institutional reading rather than a live personal category.

  ROM.13.11

• Glossary Term

  Salvation

  HIGH RISK, distinctly Swedish: 'frälsning' is strongly and almost exclusively associated in contemporary secular usage with the Frälsningsarmén (Salvation Army) as a charity brand, and with older revivalist ('väckelserörelse') preaching style, risking a dated/institutional reading rather than a live personal category for secular or lightly-churched readers.
