Passage
Romans 9
-
Glossary Term
Abba
Aramaic term of intimacy preserved as 'Abba!
ROM.9.4
-
Glossary Term
Adoption
The classic theological term (used in the 1917 Bible translation) for huiothesia; bare modern 'adoption' now defaults to the legal-procedural process, risking loss of the full-son-status resonance.
ROM.9.4
-
Doctrine
Adoption into God's Family
Full son-status with complete inheritance rights; the classic 'barnaskap' term preserves this better than modern bare 'adoption'.
ROM.9.4
-
Glossary Term
Called
Context-sensitive: in 1:1 = called to apostleship; in 1:7 = called to be saints; in 8:28-30 = effectual calling to salvation.
ROM.9.11-12
-
Glossary Term
Calling
'Kallelse' is the ordinary, very much alive Swedish word for career/life calling, a common positive self-actualization concept in modern Swedish culture ('hitta sin kallelse'), risking a humanistic reading over God's sovereign initiative.
ROM.9.11-12
-
Glossary Term
Covenant
Relational covenant bond, established biblical Swedish usage.
ROM.9.5
-
Glossary Term
David
Standard proper name form across all Swedish traditions.
ROM.9.5
-
Doctrine
Davidic Covenant
Requires OT background explanation; 'av Davids säd' is archaic and should be rendered 'ättling till David'.
ROM.9.5
-
Doctrine
Deity of Christ
CRITICAL: co-equal divine nature must not be softened into a merely divinely inspired human figure.
ROM.9.5
-
Doctrine
Divine Calling
'Kallelse' is a lively, positive secular self-actualization concept in modern Swedish, risking a humanistic reading over God's sovereign initiative.
ROM.9.11-12
-
Doctrine
Effectual Calling
Swedish Lutheran tradition tends toward a pastoral, comfort-oriented emphasis on election rather than the fully systematized double-predestination decree found in Dutch Reformed tradition; care needed not to over- or under-systematize for this curriculum's audience.
ROM.9.11-12
-
Glossary Term
Election
Swedish Lutheran tradition, unlike Dutch/German Reformed tradition, tends toward a more pastoral, comfort-oriented emphasis on election rather than a fully systematized double-predestination decree.
ROM.9.11-12
-
Glossary Term
Father
'Fader' is the elevated liturgical register (Fader vår, the Lord's Prayer) preserved in Bible translation, distinct from ordinary modern 'pappa'.
ROM.9.4
-
Glossary Term
Glory
God's radiant presence and honor.
ROM.9.5
-
Glossary Term
God
HIGH RISK: Sweden is frequently cited as one of the most secular societies on earth by international surveys, despite most Swedes historically remaining nominal Svenska kyrkan members by default; 'Gud' is often encountered as cultural-heritage vocabulary (Christmas, weddings, funerals) rather than a live personal claim for a large share of readers.
ROM.9.5
-
Glossary Term
Messiah
The Anointed One fulfilling OT promise.
ROM.9.5
-
Doctrine
Messianic Promise
The specific Jewish OT concept fulfilled exclusively in Jesus must not be flattened into a generic moral teacher, a real drift risk given widespread biblical illiteracy.
ROM.9.5
-
Glossary Term
Seed Of David
The 1917 translation's literal 'av Davids säd' is now archaic; modern 'säd' primarily denotes grain/crop or clinical seed.
