Core Glossary

Core Glossary — Matthew (English → Tamil)

This glossary catalogs every load-bearing theological term identified in 07_semantic_analysis.md, organized by doctrine cluster. Terms already established in the baseline Romans/Galatians/Ephesians/Philippians/Colossians translation_memory.json are marked [Reused exactly] and MUST NOT be re-derived or altered. Terms new to the Matthew curriculum are marked [NEW] and are proposed as translation memory additions pending theologian sign-off, per the risk tier shown.

Risk tier legend (per baseline doctrine_risk_registry.json conventions): Critical = human theologian review every occurrence; High = human theologian review; Medium = native speaker review; Low = automated review sufficient.

”It is written” formula	γέγραπται	gegraptai	எழுதியிருக்கிறது	Medium [NEW]	4	Pattern for authoritative scriptural appeal; Jesus submits to, rather than competes with, Scripture.

Cluster 5: Righteousness Exceeding the Pharisees

English Term	Greek / Origin	Transliteration	Tamil Rendering	Risk	Key Chapters	Notes
Righteousness	δικαιοσύνη	dikaiosynē	நீதி	Critical [Reused exactly]	3, 5, 6, 21	Baseline term. Matthew holds forensic-gift AND lived-ethical senses together; do not collapse to only one.
Righteousness exceeding the Pharisees	περισσεύῃ … πλεῖον	perisseuē … pleion	மேலான/மிகுதியான நீதி	Critical [NEW]	5	5:20, thesis verse. Heart-level transformation exceeding external compliance — NOT a higher quantity of the same rule-keeping.

Perfect	τέλειος	teleios	பூரணமாயிருங்கள்	High [Reused caution]	5	Baseline Philippians caution: never சித்தி (Siddhar attainment register). Standard = God’s own character.
Not one letter (jot/tittle)	ἰῶτα ἓν ἢ μία κεραία	iōta hen ē mia keraia	ஒரு எழுத்தாகிலும் ஒரு புள்ளியாகிலும்	Low [NEW]	5	Held in tension with 5:17’s fulfillment claim, not read as static legal conservatism.
Defile / make common	κοινόω	koinoō	தீட்டுப்படுத்துதல்	High [NEW]	15	Same live purity-code vocabulary flagged in baseline Colossians (one letter from தீண்டாமை, untouchability). Jesus RELOCATES defilement from external/ritual to internal/moral — a liberating, anti-purity-code teaching; must not be misread as reinforcing pollution-based social structures.

Cluster 6: The Church and Church Discipline

Church (founding declaration)	ἐκκλησία	ekklēsia	சபை	Critical [Reused, elevated risk in context]	16	Baseline Medium term elevated to Critical at 16:18 (founding declaration verse); Christ’s sovereign, indestructible building project.
Church (discipline procedure)	ἐκκλησία	ekklēsia	சபை	Critical [Reused]	18	18:15-20, the definitive NT church-discipline procedure text; redemptive intent must be preserved.

Treat as a Gentile and tax collector	ἔστω … ὥσπερ ὁ ἐθνικὸς καὶ ὁ τελώνης	estō … hōsper ho ethnikos kai ho telōnēs	புறஜாதியானையும் ஆயக்காரனையும் போலவே இருக்கக்கடவான்	High [Reused புறஜாதியார் root]	18	Final church-discipline sanction; describes covenantal outsider-status, not ethnic slur; must not read as endorsing caste-exclusion logic.
Where two or three gathered	οὗ γάρ εἰσιν δύο ἢ τρεῖς συνηγμένοι εἰς τὸ ἐμὸν ὄνομα	hou gar eisin dyo ē treis synēgmenoi	இரண்டு அல்லது மூன்று பேர் என் நாமத்தில் கூடியிருக்கிற இடம்	Medium [NEW]	18	Christ’s real presence grounding corporate discipline/prayer.
Unforgiving servant (70x7)	ἑβδομηκοντάκις ἑπτά	hebdomēkontakis hepta	எழுபது தரம் ஏழுதரம்	Medium [Reused மன்னிப்பு]	18	Forgiveness modeled on already-received, limitless divine forgiveness.

Make disciples	μαθητεύω	mathēteuō	சீஷராக்குதல்	High [NEW]	28 (cf. 13:52, 27:57)	Rare, distinctively Matthean verb; more than informing — forming committed, learning, obedient followers.
Disciple	μαθητής	mathētēs	சீஷன்	Low-Medium [NEW, established colloquial usage]	5, 10, 28, throughout	Foundational discipleship-vocabulary noun.
All nations (Commission scope)	πάντα τὰ ἔθνη	panta ta ethnē	எல்லா தேசங்களும்	High [NEW — deliberate departure from புறஜாதியார்]	28	At THIS verse the referent is universally inclusive (including Israel), not “Gentiles as distinct from Jews.” Recommend தேசங்கள் (countries/peoples) instead of ஜாதி-root vocabulary here specifically, to avoid caste-adjacency risk at the Gospel’s most universally-scoped verse.
Baptizing in the name of Father, Son, Holy Spirit	βαπτίζοντες εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ καὶ τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος	baptizontes eis to onoma…	பிதா குமாரன் பரிசுத்த ஆவியானவர் என்னும் நாமத்தில் ஞானஸ்நானங்கொடுத்து	CRITICAL [Compound, maximal weight]	28	Singular “name” (நாமம்) must not become plural; all three Persons must use exact baseline renderings.

Must not flatten to generic “human being”; must stay lexically resonant with, but distinct from, தேவனுடைய குமாரன்.
End of the age	συντέλεια τοῦ αἰῶνος	synteleia tou aiōnos	உலகத்தின் முடிவு	High [NEW]	13, 24, 28	NEVER யுகம். Linear terminus, not cyclical age-turn.
Judgment	κρίσις	krisis	நியாயத்தீர்ப்பு	High [NEW]	7, 12, 25	Final divine judgment, distinct from the “judge not” interpersonal caution (7:1).
Gehenna / hell	γέεννα	geenna	நரகம்	CRITICAL [NEW]	5, 10, 18, 23	Collision risk with South Asian naraka (temporary punishment within a rebirth cycle). Must pair with நித்திய (eternal) qualifiers to mark finality, never temporary purgation.
Eternal punishment / eternal fire	κόλασιν αἰώνιον / πῦρ αἰώνιον	kolasin aiōnion / pyr aiōnion	நித்திய ஆக்கினை / நித்திய அக்கினி	CRITICAL [NEW]	25	Parallel structure with “eternal life” (25:46) must be preserved — both equally “eternal,” never one temporary.
Eternal (adjective)	αἰώνιος	aiōnios	நித்திய	High [NEW, ties to baseline “eternal life” usage]	25, throughout	The doctrinal safeguard term against Gehenna/naraka collision.
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit	βλασφημία εἰς τὸ Πνεῦμα	blasphēmia eis to Pneuma	பரிசுத்த ஆவியானவருக்கு விரோதமான தூஷணம்	CRITICAL [NEW]	12	Unique unforgivable-sin category; requires the Spirit’s established personhood.

Woe pronouncement	οὐαὶ ὑμῖν	ouai hymin	உங்களுக்குக் கேடு	Medium [NEW]	23	Prophetic denunciation applied to present hypocrisy, not only future judgment.
Reward / wages	μισθός	misthos	பலன் (with mandatory doctrinal note)	High [NEW — genuine cross-book tension flagged]	5, 6, 10, 20	Established Tamil Bible rendering for μισθός; DISTINCT Greek lexeme from καρπός (fruit), for which பலன் remains forbidden per the Galatians package. Every occurrence requires a note: this “wage” is the Father’s gracious, relational bestowal, not a merit-triggered payout. Matthew 20’s vineyard parable is a positive teaching asset actively undermining merit-logic using wage-vocabulary.

Flag both occurrences for theologian review.
Confess / deny	ὁμολογέω / ἀρνέομαι	homologeō / arneomai	அறிக்கை செய்தல் / மறுதலித்தல்	High [Reused அறிக்கை செய்தல்]	10	Must render consistently with baseline Romans 10:9/Philippians 2:11 confession convention — same act viewed from positive/negative poles.

Yoke (positive, Christ’s)	ζυγός	zygos	நுகம்	Medium [Reused lexeme, INVERTED valence]	11	Same word as baseline’s negative “yoke of slavery” (Galatians); here positive — discipleship under Christ’s gentle authority. Flag the valence-inversion for cross-book consistency reviewers.

Worthy	ἄξιος	axios	தகுதியுள்ளவன்	Low-Medium [NEW]	8, 10	A disclaimer-of-worthiness paired with confident faith, not an achieved merit-precondition.
Talents / faithful stewardship	εὖ, δοῦλε ἀγαθὲ καὶ πιστέ	eu, doule agathe kai piste	நல்லவனும் உண்மையானவனுமான ஊழியக்காரனே	Medium-High [Reused விசுவாசம்-root]	25	Faithfulness with grace-given resources, not merit-competition; condemnation is for fear-driven inaction.

English Term	Greek / Origin	Transliteration	Tamil Rendering	Risk	Key Chapters	Notes
Son of God (Christ, singular)	υἱὸς θεοῦ	huios theou	தேவனுடைய குமாரன் (fixed baseline compound)	Critical [Reused exactly — SEE RESOLUTION NOTE]	3, 4, 14, 16, 17, 26, 27	Baseline retains தேவனுடைய in this specific fixed compound despite the general God-word (கடவுள்) rule. RESOLUTION REQUIRED: This package recommends retaining the baseline’s fixed தேவனுடைய குமாரன் form for consistency with prior curricula UNLESS Phase 2 theologian review elects to update it to கடவுளுடைய குமாரன் for internal package consistency; whichever is chosen must apply identically at every occurrence (3:17; 4:3, 6; 14:33; 16:16; 17:5; 26:63; 27:40, 43, 54).
Sons of God (believers, plural — adoption)	υἱοὶ θεοῦ	huioi theou	தேவனுடைய பிள்ளைகள்	Critical [NEW distinction]	5	Deliberately uses பிள்ளைகள் (children), NOT குமாரர் (sons), to preserve the lexical wall around Christ’s unique Sonship. Connects to baseline’s புத்திரசுவிகாரம் (adoption) doctrine.
Immanuel / God with us	Ἐμμανουήλ	Emmanouēl	இம்மானுவேல் (கடவுள் நம்முடன்)	Critical [NEW]	1	Gloss must use கடவுள். Forms inclusio with 28:20.
Virgin (virgin birth)	παρθένος	parthenos	கன்னிகை	Critical [NEW]	1	Must not assimilate to Greco-Roman/Puranic divine-human union narratives; God’s own direct creative act by the Spirit.
Transfigured	μετεμορφώθη	metemorphōthē	மறுரூபமானார்	High [Reused மறுரூப- root]	17	Revelatory unveiling of pre-existing glory, never shape-shifting/avatar transformation.
Worship (directed at Jesus)	προσκυνέω	proskyneō	ஆராதனை / பணிந்து வணங்குதல்	High [NEW]	2, 4, 14, 28	Direction determines legitimacy; distinct from வழிபாடு’s baseline use for condemned angel-worship (Colossians).

Forsaken cry (Psalm 22 quotation)	Θεέ μου, Θεέ μου	Thee mou, Thee mou	என் கடவுளே, என் கடவுளே	CRITICAL [God-word tension — RESOLUTION REQUIRED]	27	Established liturgical tradition uses தேவனே; this Language Package’s God-word rule requires கடவுளே in the translated Scripture text without exception.

Veil torn	τὸ καταπέτασμα ἐσχίσθη	to katapetasma eschisthē	திரைச்சீலை கிழிந்தது	High [Reused ஆலயம்]	27	Anticipates baseline’s temple doctrine (God’s dwelling now among/in his people).

Cluster 11: Repentance, Purity, and Sabbath (miscellaneous high-value terms)

English Term	Greek / Origin	Transliteration	Tamil Rendering	Risk	Key Chapters	Notes
Repentance	μετάνοια / μετανοέω	metanoia / metanoeō	மனந்திரும்புதல்	High [NEW]	3, 4	Relational turning toward the personal God, not a penitential technique discharging guilt (distinct from தவம்/பரிகாரம்).

தேவனுடைய குமாரன் vs. கடவுளுடைய குமாரன் for “Son of God” (Christ)	3:17; 4:3,6; 14:33; 16:16; 17:5; 26:63; 27:40,43,54	Retain baseline’s fixed தேவனுடைய குமாரன் compound for cross-curriculum consistency UNLESS theologian review elects a single, universally-applied replacement. Do not mix forms within this book.
தேவனே vs. கடவுளே in the Psalm 22 cry (27:46)	27:46	Use கடவுளே in the translated Scripture text per the non-negotiable God-word rule; note liturgical-tradition தேவனே only as a translator’s footnote, never in the text itself.
பலன் for μισθός (reward) vs. forbidden பலன் for καρπός (fruit)	5:12; 6:1-18; 10:41-42; 20:1-16 (μισθός) vs. Galatians 5:22-23 (καρπός, unaffected)	Confirm scope-limitation: பலன் remains permitted ONLY for μισθός/wages contexts, never for καρπός/fruit contexts; mandatory doctrinal note at every μισθός occurrence.
ஜாதி-root vocabulary in “all nations” (28:19) vs. “Gentiles” (புறஜாதியார்) elsewhere	28:19 vs. Romans/Galatians/Ephesians Gentile texts	Use தேசங்கள் (countries/peoples) at 28:19 specifically; reserve புறஜாதியார் for contexts where the Jew/Gentile distinction is the actual doctrinal point.
ஜீவன் vs. ஆத்துமா for ψυχή (“life/soul”)	10:39; 16:25-26	ஜீவன் for the “lose life to find it” paradox (10:39; 16:25); ஆத்துமா permissible at 16:26 where eternal soul-destiny is more clearly in view. Flag both for theologian review given ஆத்துமா’s Sanskrit ātman-adjacency.
நுகம் (yoke) valence inversion	Galatians 5:1 (negative) vs. Matthew 11:29-30 (positive)	Same lexeme, contextually opposite theological valence — confirm teaching material makes the inversion explicit for any reader encountering both curricula.

This glossary extends, and does not contradict, the baseline translation_memory.json, bible_term_registry.json, and doctrine_risk_registry.json. All baseline-established renderings are reused exactly as recorded. New terms proposed here are pending Phase 2 Step 17 theologian sign-off before formal addition to translation memory.

Critical Risk Terms

Righteousness

Approved rendering: நீதி
Transliteration: neethi
Doctrine: Righteousness Exceeding the Pharisees
Rejected alternatives: தர்மம், புண்ணியம்
Original: δικαιοσύνη
Category: Salvation

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Matthew uniquely holds BOTH the forensic-gift sense (3:15) and the lived-ethical, Kingdom-shaped-conduct sense (5:6,10,20; 6:1,33; 21:32) together; translators must never collapse the term into only one sense across the Gospel.

Justification

Approved rendering: நீதிமானாக்கப்படுதல்
Transliteration: neethimanaakkappaduthal
Doctrine: Righteousness Exceeding the Pharisees
Rejected alternatives: மன்னிப்பு பெறுதல்
Original: δικαιόω
Category: Salvation

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Relevant background for Matthew 12:37 (‘by your words you will be justified’); never abbreviate to மன்னிப்பு alone.

Salvation

Approved rendering: இரட்சிப்பு
Transliteration: iratchippu
Doctrine: Kingdom of Heaven
Rejected alternatives: மோட்சம், முக்தி
Original: σῴζω / σωτηρία
Category: Salvation

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Grounds Jesus’ naming at 1:21 (‘he will save his people from their sins’) and healing/faith accounts (9:22). NEVER மோட்சம்/முக்தி.

Resurrection

Approved rendering: உயிர்த்தெழுதல்
Transliteration: uyirthezhuthal
Doctrine: Judgment and the End of the Age
Rejected alternatives: மறுபிறவி

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Matthew 28:6 (‘he is risen’, அவர் உயிரோடெழுந்தார்) is the book’s climactic vindication text. NEVER மறுபிறவி.

Lord

Approved rendering: கர்த்தர்
Transliteration: karthar
Doctrine: Deity and Sonship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: எஜமான்
Original: κύριος
Category: Christology

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Matthew escalates this term’s context-risk at the Sabbath-lordship claim (12:8, ‘the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath’), the Psalm 110 debate (22:41-45, how_can_david_call_him_lord), and the confess/deny sayings (10:32-33).

Son Of God

Approved rendering: தேவனுடைய குமாரன்
Transliteration: Devanudaiya Kumaran
Doctrine: Deity and Sonship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: தெய்வப்புத்திரன்
Original: υἱὸς θεοῦ
Category: Christology

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly (fixed compound retaining தேவனுடைய despite the general கடவுள் God-word rule elsewhere, per baseline precedent). RESOLUTION REQUIRED for Matthew: this fixed phrase recurs at NINE distinct points (3:17; 4:3,6; 14:33; 16:16; 17:5; 26:63; 27:40,43,54) and must be applied identically at every one — mixed forms (தேவனுடைய குமாரன் vs கடவுளுடைய குமாரன்) are forbidden within this book.

Incarnation

Approved rendering: தேகதாரணம்
Transliteration: dehadharanam
Doctrine: Incarnation and the Virgin Birth
Rejected alternatives: அவதாரம்
Original: ὁ λόγος σὰρξ ἐγένετο (theological category; cf. Matthew 1:18-23)
Category: Christology

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Matthew 1:18-23 is the direct anchor text. NEVER அவதாரம் — the single strongest word-substitution temptation in the whole language given Tamil Vaishnavism’s dasavatara devotion.

Church

Approved rendering: சபை
Transliteration: sabai
Doctrine: The Church and Church Discipline
Rejected alternatives: கோவில்
Original: ἐκκλησία
Category: Church

Inherited from Romans package (baseline Medium tier), but ELEVATED to Critical in Matthew because the book’s only two occurrences (16:18 founding declaration; 18:15-17 discipline procedure) carry maximal doctrinal weight. Never கோவில்.

Messiah

Approved rendering: மேசியா
Transliteration: mesiya
Doctrine: Jesus as the Promised Messiah and Son of David
Original: Χριστός / מָשִׁיחַ
Category: Christology

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Used alongside கிறிஸ்து throughout (1:1,17; 2:4).

Jesus

Approved rendering: இயேசு
Transliteration: yesu
Doctrine: Deity and Sonship of Christ

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly.

God

Approved rendering: கடவுள்
Transliteration: kadavul
Doctrine: Deity and Sonship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: தேவன், பரமேஸ்வரன், பகவான்
Original: θεός
Category: God

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Matthew 27:46 creates the sharpest documented tension in this book: established liturgical tradition renders the Psalm 22 quotation என் தேவனே, but this Language Package’s non-negotiable rule requires என் கடவுளே in the translated Scripture text without exception (see forsaken_cry entry). Also governs the Immanuel gloss (1:23) and the centurion/disciples’ confessions (14:33; 27:54).

Holy Spirit

Approved rendering: பரிசுத்த ஆவியானவர்
Transliteration: Parisutha Aaviyanavar
Doctrine: Deity and Sonship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: பிரம்மம், பரமாத்மா
Original: Πνεῦμα Ἅγιον
Category: God

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Active at the virginal conception (1:18,20), the baptism (3:16), the blasphemy-against-the-Spirit warning (12:31-32), and the baptismal formula (28:19); every occurrence presupposes full, personal divine personhood.

Father

Approved rendering: பிதா
Transliteration: pitha
Doctrine: Sonship of Believers (Adoption)
Original: πατήρ
Category: God

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Establishes corporate, filial address in the Lord’s Prayer (6:9) and models genuine submission at Gethsemane (26:39,42, not_my_will).

Christ

Approved rendering: கிறிஸ்து
Transliteration: kiristhu
Doctrine: Jesus as the Promised Messiah and Son of David
Original: Χριστός
Category: Christology

Inherited from Galatians package, copied exactly. Used as Jesus’ title-name throughout Matthew (1:1,16-18; 11:2; 16:16,20; 22:42; 23:10; 24:5,23; 26:63,68; 27:17,22).

Heaven

Approved rendering: பரலோகம்
Transliteration: paralogam
Doctrine: The Kingdom of Heaven
Rejected alternatives: சொர்க்கம், வைகுண்டம், கைலாசம், மோட்சலோகம்

Inherited from Philippians package, copied exactly. The essential building block of the new கிங்டம்-of-Heaven compound (பரலோக ராஜ்யம்) and the Lord’s Prayer address (6:9). NEVER சொர்க்கம்/வைகுண்டம்/கைலாசம்/மோட்சலோகம்.

Covetousness Is Idolatry

Approved rendering: பொருளாசை என்னும் விக்கிரக ஆராதனை
Transliteration: porulaasai ennum vikkiraga aaraadhanai
Doctrine: Mammon and the Idolatry of Wealth
Rejected alternatives: பொருளாசை விக்கிரக ஆராதனை போன்றது

Inherited from Colossians package, copied exactly. Retained as a CONTRASTIVE cross-reference for the new mammon entry (Matthew 6:24) — wealth personified as a rival master is the same misdirected-worship category.

Kingdom Of Heaven

Approved rendering: பரலோக ராஜ்யம்
Transliteration: paralōka rājyam
Doctrine: The Kingdom of Heaven
Rejected alternatives: சொர்க்க ராஜ்யம்
Original: βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν
Category: Kingdom

NEW. Constructed from the baseline’s Critical பரலோகம் (heaven) plus ராஜ்யம் (reused from தேவனுடைய ராஜ்யம்). The load-bearing term of the entire Gospel (32 occurrences: 3:2; 4:17; 5:3,10; 6:10,33; 7:21; 8:11; 10:7; 11:11-12; 13:11,24-52; 16:19; 18:1-4,23; 19:12,14,23-24; 20:1; 22:2; 23:13; 25:1). Must resist both a Tamil dynastic-territorial reading (சோழர்/பாண்டியர் ராஜ்யம்) and a svarga-style destination-after-death reading; the already-inaugurated (12:28) and consummated (25:31-46) dimensions must both be taught.

Son Of Man

Approved rendering: மனுஷகுமாரன்
Transliteration: Maṉuṣakumāraṉ
Doctrine: Son of Man
Original: ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου
Category: Christology

NEW. Jesus’ own preferred self-designation (c. 30 occurrences: 8:20; 9:6; 11:19; 12:8; 16:27-28; 17:22-23; 20:18-19,28; 24:27,30,37,39,44; 25:31; 26:2,64). Danielic (Dan 7:13-14) title spanning earthly-authority, suffering-death-resurrection, and apocalyptic-glory clusters. Must not flatten to generic ‘human being’; must stay lexically resonant with, yet distinct from, தேவனுடைய குமாரன்.

How Can David Call Him Lord

Approved rendering: தாவீது எப்படி அவரைக் கர்த்தர் என்று சொல்லுகிறார்
Transliteration: thaaveethu eppadi avarai karthar endru solluhiraar
Doctrine: Deity and Sonship of Christ
Original: πῶς Δαυὶδ ἐν πνεύματι καλεῖ αὐτὸν Κύριον
Category: Christology

NEW. Matthew 22:41-45, quoting Psalm 110:1. Implicit deity-claim: the Messiah, whom David calls his own கர்த்தர், exceeds ordinary Davidic sonship. Reuse the Critical-tier கர்த்தர் at full strength in every clause of the argument.

All Authority Heaven Earth

Approved rendering: பரலோகத்திலும் பூமியிலும் சகல அதிகாரமும் எனக்குக் கொடுக்கப்பட்டிருக்கிறது
Transliteration: paralōkaththilum poomiyilum sagala athikaaramum enakku kodukkappattirukkiradhu
Doctrine: The Great Commission
Original: ἐδόθη μοι πᾶσα ἐξουσία ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς
Category: Christology

NEW. Matthew 28:18. Foundation of the entire Commission; must retain the same weight established at 7:29 and throughout the அதிகாரம் thread. No synonym substitution permitted.

I Am With You End Of Age

Approved rendering: இதோ, உலகத்தின் முடிவுபரியந்தம் சகல நாட்களிலும் நான் உங்களுடனேகூட இருக்கிறேன்
Transliteration: idho, ulagathin mudivupariyantham sagala naatkalilum naan ungaludanekooda irukkiren
Doctrine: The Great Commission
Rejected alternatives: யுகம்
Original: ἐγὼ μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν εἰμι πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἕως τῆς συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος
Category: Christology

NEW. Matthew 28:20. Forms an inclusio with Immanuel (1:23, ‘God with us’). Reuses end_of_the_age; NEVER யுகம். Teaching material should explicitly surface this inclusio.

Righteousness Exceeding Pharisees

Approved rendering: மேலான நீதி
Transliteration: melaana neethi
Doctrine: Righteousness Exceeding the Pharisees
Original: περισσεύῃ ἡ δικαιοσύνη ὑμῶν πλεῖον τῶν γραμματέων καὶ Φαρισαίων
Category: Salvation

NEW. Matthew 5:20, the Sermon’s ethical thesis. Must be taught as heart-level, kind-different transformation (5:21-30), NOT a higher quantity of external rule-keeping, which would re-import a more demanding புண்ணியம்-style merit-economy.

Ransom

Approved rendering: மீட்கும் கிரயம்
Transliteration: mīṭkum kirayam
Doctrine: Substitutionary Ransom and Atonement
Original: λύτρον ἀντὶ πολλῶν
Category: Salvation

NEW. Matthew 20:28 (λύτρον ἀντὶ πολλῶν). Built from established மீட்பு plus கிரயம் (price) to make the substitutionary ἀντί (‘instead of’) structure explicit — slave-manumission imagery; handle with pastoral care given Tamil debt-bondage history. Echoed exactly by 26:28’s covenant-blood language.

Blasphemy Against Holy Spirit

Approved rendering: பரிசுத்த ஆவியானவருக்கு விரோதமான தூஷணம்
Transliteration: Parisutha Aaviyanavarukku virodhamaana thooshanam
Doctrine: Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit
Original: βλασφημία εἰς τὸ Πνεῦμα
Category: Sin

NEW. Matthew 12:31-32. The unique, unforgivable-sin category, presupposing the Spirit’s full personhood. Must not be softened to ‘a great sin,’ and must not induce morbid anxiety over momentary doubt, which this text does not describe.

Trinitarian Baptismal Formula

Approved rendering: பிதா குமாரன் பரிசுத்த ஆவியானவர் என்னும் நாமத்தில் ஞானஸ்நானங்கொடுத்து
Transliteration: pitha kumaaran parisutha aaviyanavar ennum naamathil gnanasnanangoduthu
Doctrine: The Trinitarian Baptismal Formula
Original: εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ καὶ τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος
Category: God

NEW. Matthew 28:19. The single highest-stakes verse in the Gospel for Trinitarian precision. Every Person must use its exact baseline rendering with zero substitution; the singular நாமம் (‘name’) must NEVER become plural, which would fracture the implied unity of the Godhead.

Forsaken Cry

Approved rendering: என் கடவுளே, என் கடவுளே
Transliteration: en kadavule, en kadavule
Doctrine: Deity and Sonship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: என் தேவனே, என் தேவனே (liturgical tradition only, footnote permitted)
Original: Θεέ μου, Θεέ μου, ἱνατί με ἐγκατέλιπες
Category: Christology

NEW. Matthew 27:46, quoting Psalm 22:1. The single most direct collision point with the God-word rule in the whole book. Established liturgical/hymnodic tradition renders this என் தேவனே; the translated Scripture text MUST use என் கடவுளே without exception per this Language Package’s non-negotiable rule. Mandatory theologian resolution and consistent application, cross-referenced with 14:33 and 27:54.

Gehenna

Approved rendering: நரகம்
Transliteration: naragam
Doctrine: Eternal Judgment and Hell
Original: γέεννα
Category: Eschatology

NEW. Matthew 5:22,29-30; 10:28; 18:9; 23:15,33. No viable alternative to this contaminated native term exists (South Asian naraka frames hell as temporary, rebirth-cycle punishment) — retained but MUST always pair with நித்திய (eternal) qualifiers to mark finality; never allowed to stand unqualified.

Eternal Punishment

Approved rendering: நித்திய ஆக்கினை / நித்திய அக்கினி
Transliteration: nithiya aakkinai / nithiya akkini
Doctrine: Eternal Judgment and Hell
Original: κόλασιν αἰώνιον / πῦρ αἰώνιον
Category: Eschatology

NEW. Matthew 25:41,46. நித்திய must be preserved without exception in BOTH halves of the deliberate grammatical parallel with eternal life — softening either half would fundamentally alter the doctrine toward a temporary-purification (naraka-parallel) reading.

Law And Prophets Fulfilled

Approved rendering: நியாயப்பிரமாணத்தையும் தீர்க்கதரிசனங்களையும் நிறைவேற்றுதல்
Transliteration: niyayapramanathaiyum theerkkadharisanangalaiyum niraiverruthal
Doctrine: Fulfillment of the Law
Original: πληρῶσαι τὸν νόμον ἢ τοὺς προφήτας
Category: Covenant

NEW. Matthew 5:17. The hinge verse for the Sermon’s relationship to Torah; must avoid both an antinomian misreading (Law abolished) and a mere-restatement misreading (missing the heart-level escalation of 5:21-48).

Authority To Forgive Sins

Approved rendering: பாவங்களை மன்னிக்கும் அதிகாரம்
Transliteration: paavangalai mannikkum athikaaram
Doctrine: Deity and Sonship of Christ
Original: ἐξουσίαν … ἀφιέναι ἁμαρτίας
Category: Christology

NEW. Matthew 9:2-6. Combines established மன்னிப்பு and அதிகாரம். An implicit divine-prerogative claim (only God forgives sins, per the scribes’ own objection); must never drift toward பரிகாரம் (ritual sin-remedy) vocabulary.

Sons Of God Believers

Approved rendering: தேவனுடைய பிள்ளைகள் என்று அழைக்கப்படுவார்கள்
Transliteration: Devanudaiya pillaigal endru azhaikkappaduvaargal
Doctrine: Sonship of Believers (Adoption)
Rejected alternatives: குமாரர் (sons, for believers)
Original: υἱοὶ θεοῦ κληθήσονται
Category: Salvation

NEW. Matthew 5:9. Deliberately uses பிள்ளைகள் (children), NOT குமாரர்/குமாரன் (sons), to preserve the lexical wall around Christ’s unique, eternal Sonship (தேவனுடைய குமாரன்). Connects to the baseline’s புத்திரசுவிகாரம் doctrine.

Immanuel

Approved rendering: இம்மானுவேல் (கடவுள் நம்முடன்)
Transliteration: Emmanouēl (kadavul nammudan)
Doctrine: Incarnation and the Virgin Birth
Original: Ἐμμανουήλ
Category: Christology

NEW. Matthew 1:23. Name retained by transliteration per established Bible convention; the gloss (‘God with us’) MUST use கடவுள், never தேவன் — a mistranslated gloss would directly violate the God-word rule at the very verse naming God’s presence with humanity. Forms an inclusio with 28:20.

Virgin

Approved rendering: கன்னிகை
Transliteration: kanṉikai
Doctrine: Incarnation and the Virgin Birth
Original: παρθένος
Category: Christology

NEW. Matthew 1:23, quoting Isaiah 7:14. Must be kept doctrinally airtight against any reading that assimilates the virgin conception to Greco-Roman or Puranic divine-human union narratives producing heroic offspring; this is God’s own direct creative act by the Spirit.

See God

Approved rendering: காண்பார்கள்
Transliteration: kaanpaargal
Doctrine: Seeing God through Purity of Heart
Rejected alternatives: தரிசனம், தரிசன்-root compounds

NEW, and this curriculum’s highest-priority forbidden-substitution addition. Matthew 5:8 (‘they shall see God’). MANDATORY: plain verb காண்பார்கள் only — NEVER தரிசனம் (dharshanam) or any தரிசன்-root compound, which would re-frame the beatific vision as Hindu temple/guru darshan, a cultic viewing experience, rather than the relational, purity-of-heart-contingent, eschatological beholding Matthew intends.

Many Called Few Chosen

Approved rendering: அழைக்கப்பட்டவர் அநேகர், தெரிந்துகொள்ளப்பட்டவரோ சிலரே
Transliteration: azhaikkappattavar anekar, therinthukollappattavaro silare
Doctrine: Judgment and the End of the Age

NEW compound of two already-Critical baseline terms. Matthew 22:14. Distinguishes a broad, universal invitation from a narrower, sovereignly-determined chosenness; requires the same careful handling as the baseline’s Election and Predestination doctrine — always personal, loving divine agency, never fatalism vocabulary.

High Risk Terms

Gospel

Approved rendering: சுவிசேஷம்
Transliteration: suvisesham
Doctrine: Gospel
Rejected alternatives: நல்ல செய்தி

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Matthew’s own phrase ‘the gospel of the kingdom’ (சுவிசேஷம் + பரலோக ராஜ்யம், 4:23; 9:35; 24:14; 26:13) binds this term to the new Kingdom-of-Heaven compound; both must be reused exactly.

Grace

Approved rendering: கிருபை
Transliteration: kirupai
Doctrine: Grace
Rejected alternatives: புண்ணியம், ஊழ்வினை பலன்
Original: χάρις (theological category underlying Matthew’s parables of unearned favor)
Category: Salvation

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Matthew 20:1-16 (the vineyard laborers) is a positive teaching asset: Jesus himself uses wage-vocabulary (see reward_misthos) to dismantle merit-logic and illustrate கிருபை against a புண்ணியம்-accumulation reading.

Faith

Approved rendering: விசுவாசம்
Transliteration: vishvasam
Doctrine: Faith
Rejected alternatives: பக்தி
Original: πίστις
Category: Faith

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Exemplified in Matthew by the centurion (8:10), the hemorrhaging woman (9:22), and the Canaanite woman (15:28) — personal trust in Jesus specifically, never generalized பக்தி.

Called

Approved rendering: அழைக்கப்பட்ட
Transliteration: azhaikkappatta
Doctrine: Judgment and the End of the Age
Rejected alternatives: அழைப்பு பெற்ற

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Matthew 22:14 (‘many are called, but few are chosen’) compounds this term with election at Critical strength.

Calling

Approved rendering: அழைப்பு
Transliteration: azhaippu
Doctrine: Judgment and the End of the Age

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly.

Holy

Approved rendering: பரிசுத்தம்
Transliteration: parisutham
Doctrine: Righteousness Exceeding the Pharisees
Rejected alternatives: சுத்தம்

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. NOTE the live tension at Matthew 5:8: established Tamil Bible tradition renders ‘pure in heart’ with சுத்தம் (see pure_in_heart entry below), which the baseline elsewhere rejects for ‘holy’ precisely because of ritual-cleanliness connotations — resolved at 5:8 only because the qualifier ‘in heart’ makes the ritual reading impossible in context.

Saints

Approved rendering: பரிசுத்தவான்கள்
Transliteration: parisuthavankal
Doctrine: Righteousness Exceeding the Pharisees
Rejected alternatives: சாமியார், சித்தர்

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. No dedicated Matthew occurrence but retained for cross-curriculum consistency and the perfect_teleios/சித்தி caution below.

Adoption

Approved rendering: புத்திரசுவிகாரம்
Transliteration: puthira-suvikaram
Doctrine: Sonship of Believers (Adoption)
Rejected alternatives: தத்தெடுப்பு

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Directly underlies the Matthew 5:9 sons_of_god_believers doctrine (peacemakers called God’s children) — full son-status with inheritance rights, distinct from Christ’s unique Sonship.

Law

Approved rendering: நியாயப்பிரமாணம்
Transliteration: niyayapramanam
Doctrine: Fulfillment of the Law
Rejected alternatives: தர்மம்
Original: νόμος
Category: Covenant

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Matthew 5:17-18 (‘not one letter… until all is accomplished’) is the hinge verse requiring particular care against both antinomian and static-restatement misreadings.

Sin

Approved rendering: பாவம்
Transliteration: paavam
Doctrine: Deity and Sonship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: தீவினை
Original: ἁμαρτία
Category: Sin

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Grounds Jesus’ naming (1:21) and the authority-to-forgive-sins pericope (9:2-6).

Gentiles

Approved rendering: புறஜாதியார்
Transliteration: purajathiyar
Doctrine: The Great Commission
Original: ἔθνη
Category: Church

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Used where the Jew/Gentile distinction IS the doctrinal point (e.g. 8:5-13; 15:22-28). DELIBERATELY NOT used at 28:19 — see all_nations entry below for the book-specific exception.

Glory

Approved rendering: மகிமை
Transliteration: magimai
Doctrine: Deity and Sonship of Christ

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Underlies the Transfiguration (17:2, δόξα) as the revealed, pre-existing divine glory made visible — see transfigured entry.

Power Of God

Approved rendering: தேவனுடைய வல்லமை
Transliteration: Devanudaiya Vallamai
Doctrine: The Authority of Jesus’ Teaching
Rejected alternatives: சக்தி
Original: δύναμις θεοῦ
Category: God

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Matthew 22:29 (‘the power of God’) underlies the resurrection-and-marriage debate. NEVER சக்தி.

Covenant

Approved rendering: உடன்படிக்கை
Transliteration: udanpadikkai
Doctrine: Substitutionary Ransom and Atonement
Rejected alternatives: ஒப்பந்தம்
Original: διαθήκη
Category: Covenant

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Climactically invoked at 26:28 (‘my blood of the covenant’) — must retain the relational-covenant sense, not merely a legal contract.

Election

Approved rendering: தெரிந்துகொள்ளுதல்
Transliteration: therinthu-kolluthal
Doctrine: Judgment and the End of the Age
Rejected alternatives: தலைவிதி, ஊழ்வினை

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Matthew 22:14 and 24:31 (gathering the elect) compound this with ‘called’ at Critical strength; never fatalism vocabulary.

Cross

Approved rendering: சிலுவை
Transliteration: siluvai
Doctrine: Discipleship and the Cost of Following Jesus
Original: σταυρός
Category: Salvation

Inherited from Galatians package, copied exactly. Its shamefulness in an honor-shame culture must not be aestheticized away at 10:38; 16:24; 27:32-40.

Mystery

Approved rendering: இரகசியம்
Transliteration: irakasiyam
Doctrine: Hidden Wisdom and Sovereign Revelation
Rejected alternatives: மறைஞானம், மறைபொருள்

Inherited from Ephesians/Colossians package, copied exactly. Base root for the new mysteries_of_the_kingdom compound (13:11); parables ultimately aim at proclamation, never permanent concealment.

Temple

Approved rendering: ஆலயம்
Transliteration: aalayam
Doctrine: The Church and Church Discipline
Rejected alternatives: கோவில்
Original: ναός / ἱερόν
Category: Church

Inherited from Ephesians package, copied exactly. Governs the temple-cleansing critique (21:12-13) and the torn veil (27:51, veil_torn). NEVER கோவில்.

Blood Of Christ

Approved rendering: கிறிஸ்துவின் இரத்தம்
Transliteration: Kiristhuvin iratham
Doctrine: Substitutionary Ransom and Atonement
Original: τὸ αἷμά μου τῆς διαθήκης
Category: Salvation

Inherited from Ephesians package, copied exactly. Matthew 26:28’s ‘blood of the covenant’ echoes 20:28’s ransom saying (ransom entry) exactly; must never read as recurring village-shrine appeasement.

Good Works

Approved rendering: நற்கிரியைகள்
Transliteration: narkiriyaikal
Doctrine: Righteousness Exceeding the Pharisees
Rejected alternatives: புண்ணியம், புண்ணிய காரியங்கள்

Inherited from Ephesians package, copied exactly. Matthew 5:16 (‘let them see your good works and glorify your Father’) must keep works as visible fruit that gives God glory, not self-glorifying performance (contrast 6:1-18’s hypocrite warning).

Redemption

Approved rendering: மீட்பு
Transliteration: meetpu
Doctrine: Substitutionary Ransom and Atonement
Original: λύτρωσις (theological category; cf. λύτρον, Matthew 20:28)
Category: Salvation

Inherited from Galatians package, copied exactly. Kept distinct from the new, more specific ransom (மீட்கும் கிரயம்) entry, which makes the price-payment and substitution explicit.

Devil

Approved rendering: பிசாசு
Transliteration: pisaasu
Doctrine: The Authority of Jesus’ Teaching
Rejected alternatives: பேய்

Inherited from Ephesians package, copied exactly. Governs the temptation narrative (4:1-11, where Jesus refuses the devil’s demand for worship, directly grounding worship_of_jesus’s exclusivity) and 16:23 (Satan, சாத்தான், used interchangeably).

Principalities And Powers

Approved rendering: துரைத்தனங்களும் அதிகாரங்களும்
Transliteration: thuraithanangalum athikaarangalum
Doctrine: The Authority of Jesus’ Teaching

Inherited from Ephesians/Colossians package, copied exactly. Retained as a CONTRASTIVE cross-reference: the plural, cosmic-powers sense of அதிகாரங்கள் must be kept grammatically distinct from Jesus’ own singular, personal authority (see authority_exousia).

Fruit Of The Spirit

Approved rendering: ஆவியின் கனி
Transliteration: aaviyin kani
Doctrine: Righteousness Exceeding the Pharisees
Rejected alternatives: பலன், ஆவியின் பலன்கள்

Inherited from Galatians package, copied exactly. Matthew 7:15-20’s fruit test (‘by their fruits you will know them’) reuses the established கனி-family vocabulary; NEVER பலன் for this word (contrast reward_misthos below, where பலன் IS permitted for a different Greek lexeme).

Inheritance

Approved rendering: சுதந்தரம்
Transliteration: suthantharam
Doctrine: Blessedness and the Kingdom’s Reversal of Values
Rejected alternatives: சுதந்திரம்

Inherited from Galatians package, copied exactly. Matthew 5:5 (‘the meek shall inherit the earth’, சுதந்தரித்துக்கொள்வார்கள்) reuses this root. HOMOGRAPH TRAP reinforced: never confuse with சுதந்திரம் (freedom/independence).

Revelation

Approved rendering: வெளிப்படுத்துதல்
Transliteration: veliyppaduthuthal
Doctrine: Hidden Wisdom and Sovereign Revelation

Inherited from Galatians package, copied exactly. Matthew 11:25-27 (‘hidden from the wise… revealed to babes’) is sovereign gift, never achieved through human wisdom or ascetic attainment — never a generic vision/dream register.

Mature Perfect

Approved rendering: முதிர்ச்சியடைந்தோர்
Transliteration: muthirchiadainthor
Doctrine: Righteousness Exceeding the Pharisees

Inherited from Philippians package, copied exactly. Retained as the cross-reference source for the NEW Matthew-specific rendering at 5:48 (see perfect_teleios) — both share the same caution against சித்தி/attainment-register vocabulary.

Do Not Be Anxious

Approved rendering: ஒன்றுக்குங் கவலைப்படாதிருங்கள்
Transliteration: ondrukkung kavalaippadaathirungal
Doctrine: Prayer, Trust, and Freedom from Anxiety

Inherited from Philippians package, copied exactly. Matthew 6:25-34 is the likely source-echo for this baseline term; never taught as fatalistic resignation — the alternative is trust in a providential பிதா (6:26-30).

Confess

Approved rendering: அறிக்கை செய்தல்
Transliteration: arikkai seythal
Doctrine: Discipleship and the Cost of Following Jesus

Inherited from Philippians package, copied exactly. Matthew 10:32-33 pairs this with the NEW paired-opposite மறுதலித்தல் (deny) — see confess_and_deny. Must render consistently with the Romans 10:9/Philippians 2:11 confession convention.

Suffering

Approved rendering: பாடுகள்
Transliteration: paadugal
Doctrine: Blessedness and the Kingdom’s Reversal of Values
Rejected alternatives: வினைப்பயன், தலையெழுத்து

Inherited from Philippians package, copied exactly. Matthew 5:10-12’s persecution beatitudes must not be flattened into generic misfortune or read through a karmic-consequence lens; suffering FOR righteousness is a mark of Kingdom belonging.

Wisdom

Approved rendering: ஞானம்
Transliteration: gnanam
Doctrine: Hidden Wisdom and Sovereign Revelation
Rejected alternatives: மெய்ஞ்ஞானம்

Inherited from Colossians package, copied exactly. Matthew 11:25-27’s hidden-wisdom saying parallels the baseline’s caution against ஞானம்-as-attainment-path; God’s self-disclosure is sovereign gift, not achieved through ascetic or philosophical attainment.

Worship Of Angels

Approved rendering: தேவதூதர்களை வழிபடுதல்
Transliteration: devathoothargalai vazhipaduthal
Doctrine: Worship Rightly Directed to Christ
Rejected alternatives: தேவதூதர்களை மரியாதை செய்தல்

Inherited from Colossians package, copied exactly. Retained as a CONTRASTIVE cross-reference for the doctrine of worship_of_jesus below: வழிபாடு (condemned, misdirected worship of intermediaries) must stay lexically separate from ஆராதனை (legitimate worship of Jesus).

Asceticism

Approved rendering: சரீர ஒடுக்கம்
Transliteration: sareera odukkam
Doctrine: Repentance
Rejected alternatives: தவம், துறவு, விரதம்

Inherited from Colossians package, copied exactly. Retained as a CONTRASTIVE cross-reference for the repentance doctrine: biblical மனந்திரும்புதல் (relational turning to God) must be distinguished from தவம்/பாவப்பரிகாரம் (merit-generating austerity or ritual sin-remedy).

Human Regulations

Approved rendering: மனுஷ கட்டளைகள்
Transliteration: manusha kattalaigal
Doctrine: Purity and Defilement (Internal vs. External)

Inherited from Colossians package, copied exactly. Retained as a CONTRASTIVE cross-reference for Matthew 15:1-9 (tradition_of_men) and 15:11-20 (defile_koinoo) — the same anti-purity-code liberating force applies.

Mysteries Of The Kingdom

Approved rendering: பரலோக ராஜ்யத்தின் இரகசியங்கள்
Transliteration: paralōka rājyathin irakasiyangal
Doctrine: The Kingdom of Heaven
Rejected alternatives: மறைஞானம்
Original: τὰ μυστήρια τῆς βασιλείας
Category: Kingdom

NEW. Matthew 13:11. Combines the new Kingdom compound with the baseline’s established இரகசியம். Never permanently sealed esoteric knowledge (மறைஞானம் forbidden); the parables ultimately aim at proclamation (13:9).

Keys Of The Kingdom

Approved rendering: பரலோக ராஜ்யத்தின் திறவுகோல்கள்
Transliteration: paralōka rājyathin thiravukolgal
Doctrine: The Church and Church Discipline
Original: τὰς κλεῖς τῆς βασιλείας τῶν οὐρανῶν
Category: Kingdom

NEW. Matthew 16:19. Delegated, declarative apostolic-ministry authority — never a magical or hierarchical-priestly power over salvation’s mechanics, a live risk given Tamil folk-Catholic ritual-gatekeeping patterns.

End Of The Age

Approved rendering: உலகத்தின் முடிவு
Transliteration: ulagathin mudivu
Doctrine: Judgment and the End of the Age
Rejected alternatives: யுகம்
Original: συντέλεια τοῦ αἰῶνος
Category: Eschatology

NEW. Matthew 13:39-40,49; 24:3; 28:20. NEVER யுகம் (yuga cyclical-age cosmology). Linear, one-time terminus followed by judgment and the age to come.

Son Of David

Approved rendering: தாவீதின் குமாரன்
Transliteration: Thaaveethin Kumaran
Doctrine: Jesus as the Promised Messiah and Son of David
Original: υἱὸς Δαυίδ
Category: Christology

NEW. Royal-messianic acclamation title (9:27; 12:23; 15:22; 20:30-31; 21:9,15; 22:42), DISTINCT from seed_of_david (genealogical fact, 1:1-17). Must not be collapsed into the lineage term.

The Coming One

Approved rendering: வருகிறவர்
Transliteration: varugiravar
Doctrine: Jesus as the Promised Messiah and Son of David
Original: ὁ ἐρχόμενος
Category: Christology

NEW. Matthew 11:3, John the Baptist’s messianic-expectation shorthand title. Must not soften into a generic ‘future visitor’ sense.

King Of The Jews

Approved rendering: யூதருடைய ராஜா
Transliteration: yootharudaiya raajaa
Doctrine: Jesus as the Promised Messiah and Son of David
Original: Βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων
Category: Christology

NEW. Matthew 27:37 (cf. 2:2). The mocking inscription, intended as irony, is in fact a true royal-messianic title; must not be flattened to a purely political label.

Worship Of Jesus

Approved rendering: ஆராதனை / பணிந்து வணங்குதல்
Transliteration: aaraadhanai / paninthu vanangudhal
Doctrine: Worship Rightly Directed to Christ
Original: προσκυνέω
Category: Christology

NEW. Matthew 2:2,8,11; 14:33; 28:9,17. The DIRECTION of the act, not the bare word, carries the doctrine — legitimate worship of Jesus, distinct from the baseline’s negative வழிபாடு (condemned angel-worship, Colossians 2:18). 4:9-10 establishes worship’s exclusivity before Jesus himself receives it.

Repentance

Approved rendering: மனந்திரும்புதல்
Transliteration: manam-thirumbuthal
Doctrine: Repentance
Original: μετάνοια / μετανοέω
Category: Salvation

NEW. Matthew 3:2,8; 4:17; 11:20-21; 12:41. Relational turning toward the personal கடவுள் in response to the Kingdom’s nearness — never a penitential technique discharging guilt through தவம் or பாவப்பரிகாரம் (see asceticism cross-reference).

Veil Torn

Approved rendering: ஆலயத்தின் திரைச்சீலை இரண்டாகக் கிழிந்தது
Transliteration: aalayathin thiraiseelai irandaaga kizhinthathu
Doctrine: Substitutionary Ransom and Atonement
Original: τὸ καταπέτασμα ἐσχίσθη
Category: Salvation

NEW. Matthew 27:51. Reuses established ஆலயம். Symbolizes direct, unmediated access to God’s presence, anticipating the baseline’s temple doctrine.

Defile Koinoo

Approved rendering: தீட்டுப்படுத்துதல்
Transliteration: theettuppaduthal
Doctrine: Purity and Defilement (Internal vs. External)
Original: κοινόω
Category: Sin

NEW. Matthew 15:11,18-20. The same live தீட்டு (ritual pollution) vocabulary flagged in the baseline Colossians package as ‘one letter from தீண்டாமை (untouchability).’ Jesus RELOCATES defilement from external/ritual to internal/moral categories — a genuinely liberating teaching that must never be misread as reinforcing purity-based exclusion. Mandatory theologian and native-speaker review.

Binding And Loosing

Approved rendering: கட்டுதல் / விடுதல்
Transliteration: kattuthal / viduthal
Doctrine: The Church and Church Discipline
Original: δέω / λύω
Category: Church

NEW. Matthew 16:19; 18:18. Declarative, Spirit-guided authority ratifying heaven’s prior verdict, never independent human power over salvation’s mechanics, and never a folk-magic ritual-binding register (பில்லி சூனியம்).

Make Disciples

Approved rendering: சீஷராக்குதல்
Transliteration: sīsharākkuthal
Doctrine: The Great Commission
Original: μαθητεύω
Category: Church

NEW. Matthew 28:19 (cf. 13:52; 27:57). A rare, distinctively Matthean verb built from established சீஷன். Must convey forming committed, learning, obedient disciples — exceeds mere information-transfer or nominal conversion.

All Nations

Approved rendering: எல்லா தேசங்களும்
Transliteration: ellaa thesangalum
Doctrine: The Great Commission
Rejected alternatives: புறஜாதியார் (specifically at this verse)
Original: πάντα τὰ ἔθνη
Category: Church

NEW. Matthew 28:19. Deliberate, book-specific departure from the baseline’s established புறஜாதியார் (Gentiles): here ALL peoples, including Israel, are in view — using ஜாதி-root vocabulary would trigger caste-adjacency risk and wrongly imply a continuing Jew/Gentile distinction at the Gospel’s most universally-scoped verse. Mandatory theologian review to confirm consistent application of this exception.

Eternal Aionios

Approved rendering: நித்திய
Transliteration: nithiya
Doctrine: Eternal Judgment and Hell
Original: αἰώνιος
Category: Eschatology

NEW. Matthew 18:8; 19:16,29; 25:41,46. The doctrinal safeguard term against Gehenna/naraka collision throughout the eschatology cluster; applied consistently to both positive (eternal life) and negative (eternal punishment) referents.

Judgment Krisis

Approved rendering: நியாயத்தீர்ப்பு
Transliteration: niyaayathirppu
Doctrine: Judgment and the End of the Age
Original: κρίσις
Category: Eschatology

NEW. Matthew 12:36,41-42; 25:31-46. Reserved for the eschatological, final-verdict sense; must be clearly distinguished from the interpersonal ‘judge not’ caution (7:1, a related but contextually different force of the same root).

Sheep And Goats

Approved rendering: இந்தச் சிறியரில் ஒருவனுக்கு நீங்கள் செய்ததெல்லாம் எனக்கே செய்தீர்கள்
Transliteration: inthach chiriyaril oruvanukku neengal seythathellaam enakke seythirgal
Doctrine: Judgment and the End of the Age
Original: ἐφ᾽ ὅσον ἐποιήσατε ἑνὶ τούτων τῶν ἀδελφῶν μου τῶν ἐλαχίστων
Category: Eschatology

NEW. Matthew 25:31-46. Must not be flattened into either a generic works-righteousness criterion detached from relationship to Christ, or an unlinked humanitarian-ethics maxim; ‘these my brothers’ most plausibly refers to Christ’s disciples/messengers (cf. 10:40-42).

Reward Misthos

Approved rendering: பலன்
Transliteration: palan
Doctrine: Reward and Grace (the Wages/Merit Tension)
Original: μισθός
Category: Eschatology

NEW. Matthew 5:12,46; 6:1-6,16-18; 10:41-42; 16:27; 20:1-16. A DISTINCT Greek lexeme (μισθός) from καρπός (fruit), for which பலன் remains forbidden per the baseline Galatians package (karma-phala collision) — scope-limited permission granted here. Every occurrence requires a doctrinal note: this ‘wage’ is the Father’s gracious, relational bestowal (6:4,6,18), never a merit-triggered payout. Matthew 20’s vineyard parable is a positive teaching asset dismantling merit-logic with wage-vocabulary.

No One Knows Day Hour

Approved rendering: அந்த நாளையும் நாழிகையையும் ஒருவரும் அறியார்
Transliteration: antha naalaiyum naazhigaiyaiyum oruvarum ariyaar
Doctrine: Judgment and the End of the Age
Original: περὶ δὲ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ὥρας οὐδεὶς οἶδεν
Category: Eschatology

NEW. Matthew 24:36,42-44. A valuable positive contrast to Tamil astrological/almanac time-reckoning (பஞ்சாங்கம், ராகு காலம், நல்ல நேரம்), which claims exactly the calculable knowledge this verse denies exists.

Take Up Cross

Approved rendering: சிலுவையை எடுத்துக்கொண்டு
Transliteration: siluvaiyai eduthukondu
Doctrine: Discipleship and the Cost of Following Jesus
Original: ἄρας τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ
Category: Discipleship

NEW. Matthew 10:38; 16:24. Must be taught as literal, costly, potentially fatal allegiance, never a metaphor for minor inconvenience, per the baseline’s Galatians caution against aestheticizing the cross.

Psyche Life Soul

Approved rendering: ஜீவன் / ஆத்துமா (context-sensitive)
Transliteration: jeevan / aathumaa
Doctrine: Discipleship and the Cost of Following Jesus
Original: ψυχή
Category: Discipleship

NEW. Matthew 10:39; 16:25-26. ஆத்துமா is etymologically adjacent to Sanskrit ātman (eternal transmigrating self) — a genuine collision risk. Context-fence: ஜீவன் for the losing/finding paradox (10:39; 16:25), ஆத்துமா permitted only at 16:26’s explicit eternal-destiny question. Flag both for theologian review.

Not My Will

Approved rendering: என் சித்தத்தின்படி அல்ல, உம்முடைய சித்தத்தின்படியே
Transliteration: en sithathinpadi alla, ummudaiya sithathinpadiye
Doctrine: Discipleship and the Cost of Following Jesus
Original: οὐ θέλω ἐγὼ ἀλλὰ σύ
Category: Discipleship

NEW. Matthew 26:39,42. Christological model for self-denial; the genuine reality of Christ’s struggle must be preserved, never docetic theatrical display.

Confess And Deny

Approved rendering: அறிக்கை செய்தல் / மறுதலித்தல்
Transliteration: arikkai seythal / marudhalithal
Doctrine: Discipleship and the Cost of Following Jesus
Original: ὁμολογέω / ἀρνέομαι
Category: Discipleship

NEW paired term. Matthew 10:32-33. அறிக்கை செய்தல் reused exactly from baseline confess; மறுதலித்தல் is the newly engineered paired opposite. Same theological act viewed from its positive and negative poles.

Talents Stewardship

Approved rendering: நல்லவனும் உண்மையானவனுமான ஊழியக்காரனே, நன்றாய்ச் செய்தாய்
Transliteration: nallavanum unmaiyaanavanumaana oozhiyakkaarane, nandraaych seythaay
Doctrine: Discipleship and the Cost of Following Jesus
Original: εὖ, δοῦλε ἀγαθὲ καὶ πιστέ
Category: Discipleship

NEW. Matthew 25:14-30. Must be taught as faithful stewardship of grace-given resources, not merit-accumulation; the condemned servant is condemned for fear-driven inaction, not insufficient output relative to others.

Tradition Of Men

Approved rendering: மனுஷ பாரம்பரியம்
Transliteration: manusha paaramparyam
Doctrine: The Authority of Jesus’ Teaching
Original: ἡ παράδοσις ὑμῶν
Category: Covenant

NEW. Matthew 15:1-9. Human religious custom critiqued for nullifying God’s actual command. Teaching material must confine this critique to a specific first-century legal-interpretive practice, not Tamil cultural tradition or family custom broadly; its ‘commandment of God’ counterpart must use established கடவுள்.

Fulfillment Formula

Approved rendering: நிறைவேறுதல்
Transliteration: niraiverudhal
Doctrine: Fulfillment of Old Testament Prophecy
Original: ἵνα πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθέν
Category: Covenant

NEW. Matthew 1:22-23; 2:15,17,23; 4:14; 8:17; 12:17; 13:35; 21:4; 26:56; 27:9. Must communicate LINEAR, HISTORICAL, one-time fulfillment — never a cyclical-recurrence frame and never mere coincidental pattern-matching.

Greatest Commandment

Approved rendering: உன் கடவுளாகிய கர்த்தரிடத்தில் அன்புகூருவாயாக… உன்பிறனிடத்தில் அன்புகூருவதுபோலவே
Transliteration: un kadavulaagiya kartharidathil anbukoorvaayaaka… unpiranidathil anbukoorvathupolave
Doctrine: The Authority of Jesus’ Teaching
Original: ἀγαπήσεις Κύριον τὸν θεόν σου … τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν
Category: Covenant

NEW. Matthew 22:37-40, quoting Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18. Reuses established அன்பு and கடவுள்/கர்த்தர்; both love-commands must be preserved together, not isolated.

Authority Exousia

Approved rendering: அதிகாரம்
Transliteration: athikaaram
Doctrine: The Authority of Jesus’ Teaching
Original: ἐξουσία
Category: Christology

NEW. Matthew 7:29; 8:9; 9:6,8; 10:1; 21:23-27; 28:18. Personal, inherent authority — DISTINCT from the baseline’s plural, cosmic-powers sense (அதிகாரங்கள்). Must not be diluted to mere impressive rhetorical skill.

Antithesis Formula

Approved rendering: நீங்கள் கேட்டிருக்கிறீர்கள்… நானோ உங்களுக்குச் சொல்லுகிறேன்
Transliteration: neengal kettirukkireergal… naano ungalukku sollugiren
Doctrine: The Authority of Jesus’ Teaching
Original: Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη … ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν
Category: Covenant

NEW. Matthew 5:21-48 (sixfold). Must retain its startling, unprecedented authority-claim — a rabbi placing his own ‘I say’ above received tradition — and must not be assimilated to guru-lineage commentary-tradition (பாரம்பரியம்/சம்பிரதாயம்) vocabulary.

Perfect Teleios

Approved rendering: பூரணமாயிருங்கள்
Transliteration: pooranamaayirungal
Doctrine: Righteousness Exceeding the Pharisees
Rejected alternatives: சித்தி
Original: τέλειος
Category: Sanctification

NEW Matthew-specific rendering (cross-referenced with the baseline’s mature_perfect). Matthew 5:48. Never சித்தி (Siddhar-attainment register); the standard is God’s own character, approached through relational, ongoing obedience, not individually achieved mastery.

Transfigured

Approved rendering: மறுரூபமானார்
Transliteration: marurūpamānār
Doctrine: Deity and Sonship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: உருமாற்றம்
Original: μετεμορφώθη
Category: Christology

NEW. Matthew 17:2. Reuses the μορφή-family root from the baseline’s Philippians package. Must NOT be rendered with shape-shifting/deity-power-display vocabulary from Tamil folk narrative; a revelatory unveiling of pre-existing divine glory, not a magical transformation.

Pure In Heart

Approved rendering: இருதயத்தில் சுத்தமுள்ளவர்கள்
Transliteration: iruthayathil suthamullavargal
Doctrine: Purity and Defilement (Internal vs. External)

NEW. Matthew 5:8. Established Tamil Bible rendering using சுத்தம் (normally rejected for ‘holy’ due to ritual-cleanliness connotations); acceptable ONLY here because the qualifier ‘in heart’ makes the ritual reading impossible. Mandatory teaching note flagging this as moral/inward purity, explicitly not the ritual purity codes rejected in Matthew 15.

Blessed Makarios

Approved rendering: பாக்கியவான்கள்
Transliteration: pākkiyavāṉkaḷ
Doctrine: Blessedness and the Kingdom’s Reversal of Values

NEW. Matthew 5:3-11. Established Tamil rendering, but பாக்கியம் is a Sanskrit-derived word whose ordinary sense is ‘good fortune,’ popularly understood as karma-adjacent merit-fruit from a past life. Retained (cannot practically be replaced) but REQUIRES a mandatory teaching note at first occurrence: this is a sovereign, Kingdom-declared pronouncement by Jesus, not fortune earned by merit or favorable rebirth.

With God All Things Possible

Approved rendering: கடவுளுக்கோ எல்லாம் கூடும்
Transliteration: kadavulukko ellaam koodum
Doctrine: Righteousness Exceeding the Pharisees

NEW. Matthew 19:26. Uses established கடவுள். A grace-affirmation directly following the wealth/needle’s-eye warning (19:23-24) — grounds salvation’s impossibility by human effort or wealth in God’s sovereign, gracious capacity; must not be read as a general statement of omnipotence detached from its soteriological context.

Medium Risk Terms

Apostle

Approved rendering: அப்போஸ்தலன்
Transliteration: appostalan
Doctrine: The Great Commission
Rejected alternatives: குரு
Original: ἀπόστολος
Category: Church

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Applies to the Twelve named and commissioned in Matthew 10:1-4.

Peace

Approved rendering: சமாதானம்
Transliteration: samadhanam
Doctrine: Discipleship and the Cost of Following Jesus

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Matthew 10:34-36 (‘not peace but a sword’) deliberately contrasts vertical peace-with-God with the horizontal social cost of allegiance — not a doctrinal contradiction.

Kingdom Of God

Approved rendering: தேவனுடைய ராஜ்யம்
Transliteration: Devanudaiya Rajyam
Doctrine: The Kingdom of Heaven
Original: βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ
Category: Kingdom

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. Matthew uses this interchangeably with ‘kingdom of heaven’ (6:33; 12:28; 19:24; 21:31,43) — theologically identical; native-speaker review should confirm readers recognize the two phrases as one referent.

David

Approved rendering: தாவீது
Transliteration: thaaveethu
Doctrine: Jesus as the Promised Messiah and Son of David

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly.

Israel

Approved rendering: இஸ்ரவேல்
Transliteration: israel
Doctrine: The Great Commission

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly.

Seed Of David

Approved rendering: தாவீதின் வம்சம்
Transliteration: thaaveethin vamsam
Doctrine: Jesus as the Promised Messiah and Son of David
Original: σπέρμα Δαυίδ
Category: Covenant

Inherited from Romans package, copied exactly. MUST be kept lexically distinct from the new son_of_david acclamation title (தாவீதின் குமாரன்) — this term is the bare genealogical fact (Matthew 1:1-17), not a public royal-messianic acclamation.

Forgiveness

Approved rendering: மன்னிப்பு
Transliteration: mannippu
Doctrine: Forgiveness and Mercy among Believers
Original: ἄφεσις / ἀφίημι
Category: Salvation

Inherited from Ephesians package, copied exactly. The 18:21-35 unforgiving-servant order (forgive AS/BECAUSE first forgiven) must be preserved; per inherited rule, மன்னிப்பு alone never substitutes for justification or redemption vocabulary.

Baptism

Approved rendering: ஞானஸ்நானம்
Transliteration: gnanasnanam
Doctrine: The Trinitarian Baptismal Formula
Rejected alternatives: தீர்த்தம், புனித நீராடல்

Inherited from Ephesians package, copied exactly. John’s baptism of repentance (3:1-17) anticipates the Trinitarian baptismal formula (28:19).

Love

Approved rendering: அன்பு
Transliteration: anbu
Doctrine: The Authority of Jesus’ Teaching
Rejected alternatives: பக்தி, காதல்

Inherited from Galatians package, copied exactly. Anchors the greatest_commandment (22:37-40); never பக்தி (wrong direction) or காதல் (romantic).

Mercy

Approved rendering: இரக்கம்
Transliteration: irakkam
Doctrine: Blessedness and the Kingdom’s Reversal of Values

Inherited from Ephesians package, copied exactly. Grounds the beatitude ‘blessed are the merciful’ (5:7); family-resemblance principle (cf. 18:23-35), never a merit-transaction, and kept distinct from கிருபை (unmerited grace).

Cornerstone

Approved rendering: மூலைக்கல்
Transliteration: moolaikkal
Doctrine: Fulfillment of Old Testament Prophecy
Original: κεφαλὴν γωνίας
Category: Christology

Inherited from Ephesians package, copied exactly. Matthew 21:42 applies Psalm 118:22 to Christ within the parable of the wicked tenants; keep the citation link intact.

Joy

Approved rendering: சந்தோஷம்
Transliteration: santhosham
Doctrine: Blessedness and the Kingdom’s Reversal of Values

Inherited from Philippians package, copied exactly. Matthew 5:12’s command to rejoice under persecution must stay person-and-Kingdom-anchored, never detached equanimity.

Rejoice

Approved rendering: சந்தோஷப்படுதல்
Transliteration: santhoshappaduthal
Doctrine: Blessedness and the Kingdom’s Reversal of Values

Inherited from Philippians package, copied exactly. Matthew 5:12: சந்தோஷப்படுங்கள், களிகூருங்கள் — a double command of active, even ecstatic, joy.

The Lord Is Near

Approved rendering: கர்த்தர் சமீபமாயிருக்கிறார்
Transliteration: karthar sameepamaayirukkiraar
Doctrine: The Kingdom of Heaven

Inherited from Philippians package (same verb root). Matthew 3:2/4:17’s ‘the kingdom of heaven is at hand’ (சமீபமாயிருக்கிறது) reuses this nearness-verb to mark the Kingdom’s decisive, near-arrived inbreaking.

Sabbath

Approved rendering: ஓய்வுநாள்
Transliteration: oyvunaal
Doctrine: The Sabbath and the Lordship of Christ
Original: σάββατον
Category: Covenant

Inherited from Colossians package, copied exactly. ESCALATED to High in context at Matthew 12:1-14 given convergence with the Critical-tier கர்த்தர் in ‘the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath’ (12:8).

Pastor

Approved rendering: மேய்ப்பர்
Transliteration: meyppar
Doctrine: The Church and Church Discipline
Rejected alternatives: குரு

Inherited from Ephesians package, copied exactly. Relevant to Matthew 16/18 church-office teaching alongside the do_not_call_rabbi warning (23:8-10). Never குரு.

Teacher

Approved rendering: போதகர்
Transliteration: bothakar
Doctrine: The Church and Church Discipline
Rejected alternatives: குரு, ஆசான்

Inherited from Ephesians package, copied exactly. Never குரு.

Evangelist

Approved rendering: சுவிசேஷகர்
Transliteration: suviseshakar
Doctrine: The Great Commission
Rejected alternatives: குரு

Inherited from Ephesians package, copied exactly. Never குரு.

Hypocrite

Approved rendering: மாயக்காரன்
Transliteration: māyakkāraṉ
Doctrine: Righteousness Exceeding the Pharisees
Original: ὑποκριτής
Category: Sin

NEW. Matthew 6:1-18; 15; 22; 23; 24. Distinct, established colloquial/Bible usage; reviewers should confirm it is not confused with மாயை (Vedantic māyā, illusion of the phenomenal world), a false-cognate rather than a true collision.

Scribes And Pharisees

Approved rendering: வேதபாரகரும் பரிசேயரும்
Transliteration: vedhapaaragarum pariseyarum
Doctrine: Righteousness Exceeding the Pharisees
Original: γραμματεῖς καὶ Φαρισαῖοι
Category: Sin

NEW. Recurs chs. 5,9,12,15,16,19,21-23. Must not be misapplied as generalized anti-Jewish rhetoric, nor mapped onto any present-day Tamil religious community or caste group.

Disciple

Approved rendering: சீஷன்
Transliteration: seeshan
Doctrine: The Great Commission
Original: μαθητής
Category: Church

NEW (established colloquial Tamil Bible usage). Matthew 5:1; 10; 28:19. Undergirds the make_disciples verb central to the Great Commission.

Do Not Call Rabbi

Approved rendering: ரபீ என்று அழைக்கப்படாதிருங்கள்
Transliteration: rabī endru azhaikkappadaathirungal
Doctrine: The Authority of Jesus’ Teaching
Rejected alternatives: குரு
Original: μὴ κληθῆτε Ραββί
Category: Church

NEW. Matthew 23:8-10. Directly reinforces the baseline’s guru-avoidance rule for Christian offices; ரபீ is transliterated (no adequate native equivalent avoiding either குரு-register or over-domestication).

Angel

Approved rendering: தேவதூதன்
Transliteration: Devathoothan
Doctrine: Deity and Sonship of Christ
Original: ἄγγελος
Category: God

NEW (established Tamil Christian term). Matthew 1:20; 2:13,19; 28:2-7. Kept distinct from the baseline’s guarded folk-spirit taxonomy (பேய், முனி); angels are created, obedient messengers of கடவுள் alone, never venerated intermediaries.

Transliteration: paazhaakkugira aruvaruppu
Doctrine: Judgment and the End of the Age
Original: τὸ βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως
Category: Eschatology

NEW. Matthew 24:15. Danielic apocalyptic sign-marker; low syncretism risk but high interpretive complexity given 70 AD/future-fulfillment debate.

Great Tribulation

Doctrine: Judgment and the End of the Age
Original: θλῖψις μεγάλη

Mandatory cross-curriculum teaching note distinguishing the negative Galatians valence from the positive Matthew valence — same word, opposite doctrinal force.

Rest Anapausis

Transliteration: ilaippaaruthal
Doctrine: Discipleship and the Cost of Following Jesus
Original: ἀνάπαυσις
Category: Discipleship

NEW. Matthew 11:29. Relational, Person-centered rest, present-tense and ongoing — distinct from mokṣa-adjacent release-from-labor/samsara concepts.

Transliteration: yonaavin adaiyaalam
Doctrine: Fulfillment of Old Testament Prophecy
Original: τὸ σημεῖον Ἰωνᾶ
Category: Covenant

NEW. Matthew 12:39-41. A typological (not directly verbal) fulfillment mode, distinct from Matthew’s direct verbal-prophecy fulfillments elsewhere; worth flagging this distinction in teaching material.

It Is Written

Approved rendering: எழுதியிருக்கிறது
Transliteration: ezhuthirukkiradhu
Doctrine: The Authority of Jesus’ Teaching
Original: γέγραπται
Category: Covenant

NEW. Matthew 4:4,7,10. A fixed citation formula grounding the Authority-of-Teaching doctrine in submission to, not competition with, the written Word; a positive contrastive teaching hook against Tamil astrological citation-formulas.

Poor In Spirit

Approved rendering: ஆவியில் எளியவர்கள்
Transliteration: āviyil eḻiyavarkaḷ
Doctrine: Blessedness and the Kingdom’s Reversal of Values

NEW. Matthew 5:3. The qualifier ஆவியில் (‘in spirit’) must always stay attached; dropping it collapses the beatitude into purely economic poverty and loses the spiritual-bankruptcy sense anchoring the doctrine of grace received rather than merited. ஆவி here is the human spirit, never capitalized/personalized as the Holy Spirit.

Meek

Approved rendering: சாந்தகுணமுள்ளவர்கள்
Transliteration: sānthaguṇamuḷḷavargaḷ
Doctrine: Blessedness and the Kingdom’s Reversal of Values

NEW, reusing the established சாந்தகுணம் term from the baseline Philippians package (4:5). Matthew 5:5, quoting Psalm 37:11. Active, non-retaliatory moral strength, distinct from சாந்தி (meditative/ritual tranquility).

Peacemakers

Approved rendering: சமாதானம் செய்கிறவர்கள்
Transliteration: samadhaanam seygiravargal
Doctrine: Blessedness and the Kingdom’s Reversal of Values

NEW. Matthew 5:9. Reuses established சமாதானம் root; active reconcilers imitating the Father’s own character, grounding the sons_of_god_believers doctrine that follows in the same verse.

Category: Eschatology

NEW. Matthew 13:24-30,36-43. Teaches patient coexistence of good/evil until final judgment; plain agricultural term, doctrinal weight lies in the judgment-timing teaching.

Transliteration: oru ezhuthaagilum oru pullyagilum
Doctrine: Fulfillment of the Law
