Cross-Reference Analysis

Cross-Reference Analysis — 1 Corinthians (English → Turkish)

Purpose and Method

This document catalogs every Old Testament quotation and allusion, every messianic reference, every typological pattern, and every parallel to other curricula already translated in this turkish Language Package (Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John), found across all 16 chapters of 1 Corinthians. For each entry it records: passage, theme, related character(s), OT/NT connection, and translation sensitivity. A final section fixes rendering-consistency rules binding shared quotations to identical Turkish wording wherever they recur across curricula, per the baseline’s Theological Consistency Rules Across Documents.

Citation Normalization Convention

All citations in this document and all downstream Phase 2 artifacts follow the format Book Chapter:Verse (e.g., 1 Corinthians 15:3, Genesis 2:24, Isaiah 25:8). Turkish-language teaching material renders book names per Kitabı Mukaddes convention. New book-name additions required by this curriculum, added to the running list established across the baseline and prior packages:

PART 1 — Chapter-by-Chapter Cross-Reference Matrix

Chapter 1 — Christian Unity versus Factionalism; The Cross as Wisdom and Power

PassageThemeRelated Character(s)OT/NT ConnectionTranslation Sensitivity
1 Corinthians 1:12FactionalismPaul, Apollos, Cephas, ChristInternal NT parallel: names the same three human leaders whose factions Paul opposes; no OT quotationLow. Names (Pavlus, Apollos, Kefas) render per established/standard Turkish Bible forms.
1 Corinthians 1:19The Cross as Wisdom and PowerDirect quotation: Isaiah 29:14 (“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise”)High. The quotation must retain its force as a direct, cited fulfillment-pattern, not a loose paraphrase — reinforces the baseline’s Fulfillment of Prophecy doctrine (linear OT promise vs. Islam’s successive, self-contained-prophet pattern).
1 Corinthians 1:23The Cross as Wisdom and PowerChristConfessional formula “Christ crucified” — parallel to the fixed creed of 1 Corinthians 15:3-5 and to Matthew 26:26-28 / Luke 22:19-20’s Words of Institution traditionCritical. See Rendering-Consistency Rule R1 below (Çarmıh must retain completed-past-event force across every occurrence in this Language Package).
1 Corinthians 1:31The Cross as Wisdom and PowerDirect quotation: Jeremiah 9:24 (“let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord”)High. Must render with the identical Övünmek vocabulary already fixed for Galatians 6:14 (“boasting only in the cross”); see Rule R2.

Chapter 2 — The Cross as Wisdom and Power (continued); the Spirit’s Revelation

PassageThemeRelated Character(s)OT/NT ConnectionTranslation Sensitivity
1 Corinthians 2:9The Cross as Wisdom and PowerDirect quotation: Isaiah 64:4 (“what no eye has seen…God has prepared for those who love him”)Medium. Standard prophetic-anticipation quotation; low collision risk, but note the “hidden until revealed” framing should not be taught as endorsing a Sufi esoteric-unveiling (keşf) epistemology — the content is revealed to ALL believers by the Spirit (2:10), not to a mystical elite through graded attainment.
1 Corinthians 2:16The Cross as Wisdom and Power / Spiritual GiftsDirect quotation: Isaiah 40:13 (“who has known the mind of the Lord?”)High. Same verse is quoted in Romans 11:34, within the baseline’s Providence doctrine (Romans 8:28-30; 11:33-36). See Rule R3 — mandatory identical Turkish rendering across both occurrences.

Chapter 3 — Church as God’s Building/Temple; Immature Factionalism

PassageThemeRelated Character(s)OT/NT ConnectionTranslation Sensitivity
1 Corinthians 3:19The Cross as Wisdom and PowerDirect quotation: Job 5:13 (“he catches the wise in their own craftiness”)Low. Unique citation in this Language Package; no cross-curriculum consistency requirement.
1 Corinthians 3:20The Cross as Wisdom and PowerDirect quotation: Psalm 94:11 (“the Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile”)Low.
1 Corinthians 3:16-17Church Discipline and HolinessTypological extension of the Jerusalem Temple (no single verse quoted; broad OT temple theology, e.g., 1 Kings 8:10-13; Ezekiel 43:1-5) reapplied to the corporate churchHigh. See 07_semantic_analysis.md ναὸς θεοῦ entry — must not be confused with a physical building or with cami (mosque); the church-as-temple move is a genuine doctrinal novelty for readers without OT temple background.

Chapter 4 — Apostolic Stewardship and Suffering

PassageThemeRelated Character(s)OT/NT ConnectionTranslation Sensitivity
1 Corinthians 4:1The Cross as Wisdom and Power / Paul’s ApostleshipPaul, ApollosExtends the baseline’s Paul’s Apostleship doctrine (established in the Galatians package, Galatians 1:1, 11-17) — stewardship of revealed truth, not its originationMedium. Continue the Elçi/resul-peygamber caution already documented.
1 Corinthians 4:9The Cross as Wisdom and PowerPaul, apostlesRoman spectacle/arena imagery; no OT citation but functions as the same honor/shame reversal pattern as Philippians 3:8’s σκύβαλα disciplineMedium. Native-speaker review for register, per baseline honor/shame flag category.

Chapter 5 — Church Discipline and Holiness

PassageThemeRelated Character(s)OT/NT ConnectionTranslation Sensitivity
1 Corinthians 5:7Church Discipline and Holiness / The Lord’s SupperChristTypological allusion: Exodus 12 (Passover lamb) — “Christ our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed”Critical. Must be taught alongside, not as a duplicate of, the established Lamb of God doctrine (John 1:29, “İşte, dünyanın günahını ortadan kaldıran Tanrı Kuzusu!”). See Rule R4.
1 Corinthians 5:13Church Discipline and HolinessDirect quotation: Deuteronomy 17:7 (“purge the evil person from among you”; cf. Deuteronomy 19:19; 22:21, 24; 24:7)High. Kutsal Yasa citation; must not be read as importing a hadd-style fixed legal-penal code — the goal is restorative (5:5), not punitive-first. See 07_semantic_analysis.md church discipline entries.

Chapter 6 — Church Discipline and Holiness (continued); Body as Temple

PassageThemeRelated Character(s)OT/NT ConnectionTranslation Sensitivity
1 Corinthians 6:16Marriage and Singleness / Church Discipline and HolinessDirect quotation: Genesis 2:24 (“the two shall become one flesh”)Critical. The same verse is quoted in Ephesians 5:31 within the household_code_marriage doctrine. See Rule R5 — mandatory identical rendering, since a divergence between the two occurrences would visibly fracture the “one flesh” teaching across this Language Package’s two most marriage-relevant books.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20Church Discipline and HolinessChristExtends the baseline’s Redemption/Kurtarmak vocabulary (Galatians 3:13; 4:5) into “bought with a price”High. Direction of transaction (God purchasing the believer) must not reverse into a kurban-style believer-to-God offering; see Rule R6.

Chapter 7 — Marriage and Singleness

PassageThemeRelated Character(s)OT/NT ConnectionTranslation Sensitivity
1 Corinthians 7:1-16Marriage and SinglenessPaulExtends the household-code marriage material of Ephesians 5:22-33 and Colossians 3:18-19 into pre-marital and marital-crisis counsel; no OT quotation, but presupposes Genesis 2:18-24’s creation-order marriage institutionHigh. Must be taught as complementary to, not contradicting, the Ephesians/Colossians household code’s mutual-submission framing; see Rule R7.
1 Corinthians 7:19Circumcision and the New Creation (Galatians parallel)Direct echo of Galatians 5:6; 6:15 (“neither circumcision nor uncircumcision matters, but keeping the commandments of God”)High. Must render consistently with the established Sünnet/Sünnetsizlik discipline (mandatory “bedensel sünnet” qualification per the Galatians package) rather than introducing new vocabulary.

Chapter 8 — Christian Liberty and Idol Meat (I)

PassageThemeRelated Character(s)OT/NT ConnectionTranslation Sensitivity
1 Corinthians 8:4, 6Christian Liberty and Idol MeatAllusion to the Shema, Deuteronomy 6:4 (“the Lord our God, the Lord is one”) and monotheistic confession broadly (cf. Isaiah 44:6-8)Critical. This is a genuine point of common ground with tawhid (God’s absolute oneness) — a rare passage where Paul’s monotheism and the reader’s own creedal instinct align directly; teaching material should name this resonance explicitly while distinguishing it from the helal/haram food-law frame (see 07_semantic_analysis.md εἰδωλόθυτα entry).
1 Corinthians 8:6The Deity and Pre-Existence of ChristChristExtends Colossians 1:16-17’s creator_and_sustainer_of_all doctrine (“one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things”)Critical. Must render consistently with the established “her şey O’nda yaratıldı” pattern from Colossians; Christ included within the Shema-style monotheistic confession is a direct extension of the deity_of_christ doctrine.

Chapter 9 — Christian Liberty and Idol Meat (II)

PassageThemeRelated Character(s)OT/NT ConnectionTranslation Sensitivity
1 Corinthians 9:9Christian Liberty and Idol MeatDirect quotation: Deuteronomy 25:4 (“you shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain”)Medium. Applied by analogy to apostolic material support; keep the quotation’s agricultural concreteness rather than abstracting it.
1 Corinthians 9:13Christian Liberty and Idol MeatAllusion to Numbers 18:8-31 and Deuteronomy 18:1-3 (priests/Levites supported from temple offerings)Low. Background allusion strengthening the same material-support argument as 9:9; no direct quotation.

Chapter 10 — Christian Liberty and Idol Meat (III); Warning from Israel’s History; the Lord’s Table versus Idol Tables

PassageThemeRelated Character(s)OT/NT ConnectionTranslation Sensitivity
1 Corinthians 10:1-4The Deity and Pre-Existence of Christ; Christian Liberty and Idol MeatMoses, Israel, ChristTypological survey: Exodus 13:21-22 (the cloud); Exodus 14:22 (the sea); Exodus 17:6 and Numbers 20:11 (the rock)High. “The rock was Christ” (10:4) is a direct pre-existence claim; must connect explicitly to the established Colossians deity/pre-existence material rather than standing as an isolated curiosity. See Rule R8.
1 Corinthians 10:7Christian Liberty and Idol MeatIsraelDirect quotation: Exodus 32:6 (the golden calf: “the people sat down to eat and drink”)High. Idolatry-and-feasting typology directly anticipates 10:14-22’s argument against idol-temple participation.
1 Corinthians 10:8Christian Liberty and Idol MeatIsraelAllusion: Numbers 25:1-9 (Baal of Peor; 23,000 fell in one day)Medium. Historical-narrative allusion; teach as warning-typology, not as license for any contemporary application beyond the text’s own point (idolatry’s seriousness).
1 Corinthians 10:9Christian Liberty and Idol Meat; Deity of ChristIsrael, ChristAllusion: Numbers 21:5-6 (testing the LORD/Christ with serpents)High. Some manuscripts read “Christ,” others “the Lord” — a text-critical note is warranted; either reading extends Christ’s OT active presence, reinforcing 10:4’s rock-typology.
1 Corinthians 10:10Christian Liberty and Idol MeatIsraelAllusion: Numbers 16:41-49 (destroyed by the Destroyer, following Korah’s rebellion)Low.
1 Corinthians 10:20The Lord’s Supper; Christian Liberty and Idol MeatDirect quotation: Deuteronomy 32:17 (“they sacrificed to demons, not God”)Critical. Direct engagement with Turkish/Islamic cin cosmology; see 07_semantic_analysis.md and Rule R9.
1 Corinthians 10:26Christian Liberty and Idol MeatDirect quotation: Psalm 24:1 (“the earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it”)Low. Grounds the freedom to eat marketplace meat without investigation, in God’s ownership of creation generally.

Chapter 11 — Order in Worship (Head Covering); The Lord’s Supper

PassageThemeRelated Character(s)OT/NT ConnectionTranslation Sensitivity
1 Corinthians 11:7Order in WorshipAllusion: Genesis 1:27 (“God created man in his own image… male and female he created them”)Critical. Ties the head-covering argument to the imago Dei doctrine; must not be read as denying woman’s equal bearing of God’s image (11:7’s specific rhetorical point concerns glory/reflection in the worship context, not ontological hierarchy of image-bearing — Genesis 1:27 itself affirms both sexes equally as image-bearers). Mandatory theologian AND native-speaker review, consistent with the başörtüsü sensitivity already flagged.
1 Corinthians 11:8-9Order in WorshipAdam, Eve (unnamed)Allusion: Genesis 2:18-23 (woman formed from man, as a helper corresponding to him)Critical. Same review requirement as 11:7; must be taught alongside 11:11-12’s immediate qualification (“nevertheless, in the Lord, woman is not independent of man nor man of woman… all things are from God”) so the creation-order allusion is not isolated from Paul’s own corrective balance within the same passage.
1 Corinthians 11:23-25The Lord’s SupperChristWords of Institution, paralleling and independently confirming Matthew 26:26-28; Luke 22:19-20; direct quotation background: Exodus 24:8 (“the blood of the covenant”) and Jeremiah 31:31 (“new covenant”)Critical. See Rule R10 — must render identically to the fixed Matthew/Luke wording already in translation memory.

Chapter 12 — Spiritual Gifts and the Body of Christ (I)

PassageThemeRelated Character(s)OT/NT ConnectionTranslation Sensitivity
1 Corinthians 12:3The Cross as Wisdom and Power / Lordship of ChristDirect parallel: Romans 10:9 (“Jesus is Lord” confession)Critical. See Rule R11 — must render identically as İsa Rab’dir.
1 Corinthians 12:12-27Spiritual Gifts and the Body of Christ; Christian Unity versus FactionalismExtends the unity_in_christ discipline already fixed for Galatians 3:28; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 3:11High. New organic (“body/members”) metaphor for the same underlying doctrine; no OT quotation, but the metaphor’s logic (interdependent, non-hierarchical value of parts) directly reinforces the unity doctrine’s existing rendering discipline.

Chapter 13 — Love as the Greater Way

PassageThemeRelated Character(s)OT/NT ConnectionTranslation Sensitivity
1 Corinthians 13:12Love as the Greater Way; Resurrection hopePossible allusion: Numbers 12:8 (“face to face,” of Moses’ unique intimacy with God), reapplied eschatologicallyLow. Loose typological echo; no fixed quotation, teach as anticipatory language for the eschatological consummation reinforced in ch.15.
1 Corinthians 13:1-13Love as the Greater WayExtends Galatians 5:6’s faith_working_through_love doctrine into a full independent treatmentHigh. Consistency note: sevgi (never aşk) throughout; see 07_semantic_analysis.md and Rule R12.

Chapter 14 — Order in Worship; Spiritual Gifts (II): Tongues and Prophecy

PassageThemeRelated Character(s)OT/NT ConnectionTranslation Sensitivity
1 Corinthians 14:21Spiritual Gifts and the Body of Christ; Order in WorshipDirect quotation: Isaiah 28:11-12 (“by people of strange tongues… I will speak to this people, and even then they will not listen”)High. Original context is a judgment-sign to unbelieving Israel; must not be flattened into a general endorsement of tongues as the primary evangelistic sign gift, which would work against the very point Paul makes in surrounding verses (14:22-25 prefers intelligible prophecy for outsiders).
1 Corinthians 14:34Order in WorshipDisputed reference: “as the Law also says” — no single pinpoint OT citation is agreed upon among interpreters; possibly a general allusion to the created order of Genesis 3:16 or a lost extra-biblical conventionCritical. Do not silently supply a specific OT citation the text itself does not name; flag the ambiguity transparently in teaching material rather than resolving it. See 07_semantic_analysis.md γυναῖκες σιγάτωσαν entry.

Chapter 15 — The Resurrection of Christ and Believers

(Verses 1-11 receive dedicated core-passage treatment in 07_semantic_analysis.md. This table covers the chapter’s full OT/NT cross-reference network, verses 1-58.)

PassageThemeRelated Character(s)OT/NT ConnectionTranslation Sensitivity
1 Corinthians 15:3The Resurrection of Christ and BelieversChristAllusion: Isaiah 53:5-12 (the Suffering Servant dies for others’ transgressions)Critical. “Died for our sins” directly echoes Isaiah 53’s substitutionary language; teach as the fulfillment this Language Package has already anchored via the Lamb of God doctrine (John 1:29).
1 Corinthians 15:4The Resurrection of Christ and BelieversChristAllusion: Psalm 16:10 (“you will not let your holy one see corruption”); Hosea 6:2 (“on the third day he will raise us up”)High. Both are allusions, not verbatim quotations; “according to the Scriptures” (repeated in 15:3-4) asserts a diffuse but real OT pattern rather than a single proof-text, which itself requires unpacking for readers expecting one-to-one prophecy-fulfillment citations.
1 Corinthians 15:5-8The Resurrection of Christ and Believers; Paul’s ApostleshipCephas, the Twelve, James, “all the apostles,” PaulInternal NT cross-reference: parallels the resurrection-appearance lists of Luke 24:34 (Cephas) and Matthew 28:16-17 (the Twelve)High. Cephas/Kefas naming consistency; see Rule R13.
1 Corinthians 15:21-22The Resurrection of Christ and Believers; Universal Human AccountabilityAdam, ChristDirect extension of Romans 5:12-19’s Adam-Christ representative-headship argument; background: Genesis 3 (the Fall)Critical. See Rule R14 — must be taught as the SAME argument as Romans 5, not a separate or new claim, since the two passages are mutually reinforcing halves of one doctrine.
1 Corinthians 15:25The Resurrection of Christ and Believers; Universal Lordship of ChristChristDirect quotation: Psalm 110:1 (“until he has put all his enemies under his feet”)High. Same psalm is echoed in Ephesians 1:20 (“seated him at his right hand”). See Rule R15.
1 Corinthians 15:27The Resurrection of Christ and BelieversChrist, AdamDirect quotation: Psalm 8:6 (“you have put all things under his feet”)High. Same psalm is quoted in Ephesians 1:22 within the christs_supremacy_and_headship doctrine. See Rule R15 — the two occurrences must use matched vocabulary for “under his feet” (ayakları altına koydu / ayakları altına aldı).
1 Corinthians 15:32The Resurrection of Christ and BelieversDirect quotation: Isaiah 22:13 (“let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die”)Low. Cited by Paul as the logical (and rejected) conclusion IF there is no resurrection — a rhetorical foil, not an endorsed principle.
1 Corinthians 15:33The Resurrection of Christ and BelieversQuotation from the Greek playwright Menander (Thais), NOT a biblical citation (“bad company corrupts good morals”)Low. Note for teaching material: Paul quotes pagan Greek literature approvingly here, exactly as Paul does elsewhere in Acts 17:28 (not in this pipeline) — a useful teaching point about engaging surrounding culture without doctrinal compromise, paralleling the “all things to all people” principle of 1 Corinthians 9:22.
1 Corinthians 15:45The Resurrection of Christ and Believers; Universal Human AccountabilityAdam, ChristDirect quotation: Genesis 2:7 (“the first man Adam became a living being”)High. Continues the Adam-Christ typology of 15:21-22 into its fullest single statement (“first Adam… last Adam”); render consistently with the established ilk Adam / son Adam pairing.
1 Corinthians 15:47The Resurrection of Christ and BelieversAdam, ChristAllusion: Genesis 2:7; 3:19 (“the first man was from the earth, a man of dust”)Low.
1 Corinthians 15:54The Resurrection of Christ and Believers; Assurance of SalvationDirect quotation: Isaiah 25:8 (“he will swallow up death forever”)High.
1 Corinthians 15:55The Resurrection of Christ and Believers; Assurance of SalvationDirect quotation: Hosea 13:14 (“O Death, where is your sting? O Grave, where is your victory?”)High. Both 15:54 and 15:55 must be taught as one continuous triumphant declaration, not two separate proof-texts; see Rule R16.

1 Corinthians PassageShared Doctrine/ThemeRomans / Other Curriculum ParallelRendering-Consistency Requirement
1 Corinthians 15:1-58Resurrection of ChristRomans 1:4; 4:25; 6:4-5; 8:11Diriliş must retain identical Critical-risk force; death (öldü)-then-resurrection sequence never reversed or softened.
1 Corinthians 15:21-22, 45-49Universal human sinfulness via AdamRomans 5:12-19ilk Adam / son Adam pairing fixed; teach as one unified argument across both books.
1 Corinthians 1:18-25; 15:54-55Assurance of SalvationRomans 8:1, 28-39Present-tense triumphant confidence, never probabilistic hope.
1 Corinthians 1:10-17; 3:1-9; 12:12-27Christian Unity versus FactionalismGalatians 3:28; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 3:11Same unqualified-enumeration discipline; new “body/members” organic metaphor adds to, does not replace, the existing pattern.
1 Corinthians 1:18-31; 2:1-16The Cross as Wisdom and PowerRomans 1:16 (power_of_god); Galatians 6:14 (boasting)Tanrı’nın gücü (never kudret); Övünmek (boasting legitimate only in the cross).
1 Corinthians 5:1-13; 6:9-11Church Discipline and HolinessRomans 6:19-22 (sanctification); Galatians 5:19-21 (works of the flesh)Kutsallaşma vocabulary reused; discipline framed as restorative, matching the Galatians package’s redemptive-not-punitive discipline established for church-life passages.
1 Corinthians 7:1-40Marriage and SinglenessEphesians 5:22-33; Colossians 3:18-19Household-code mutuality frame (Ephesians 5:21) must inform, not be contradicted by, 1 Corinthians 7’s treatment of marital obligations (7:3-5’s explicit mutuality is a direct parallel to Ephesians 5:21).

PART 4 — Rendering-Consistency Rules for Shared Quotations

The following rules are binding across all Phase 2 translation work for this curriculum and must be checked against existing translation memory before any segment containing these citations is finalized.

R1 — Çarmıh (cross/crucified). Every occurrence of “Christ crucified” or “the cross” (1 Corinthians 1:17-18, 23; Galatians 5:11; 6:12, 14) must use Çarmıh with completed-past-event force. Escalated to Critical risk for this curriculum given its confessional-formula role parallel to 1 Corinthians 15:3-5.

R2 — Jeremiah 9:24 / boasting. 1 Corinthians 1:31’s citation of Jeremiah 9:24 must use the same Övünmek vocabulary already fixed for Galatians 6:14. Do not introduce a synonym (e.g., gurur, kibir) for either occurrence.

R3 — Isaiah 40:13. 1 Corinthians 2:16 and Romans 11:34 quote the identical verse (“who has known the mind of the Lord?”). Both occurrences must use identical Turkish wording. Any future translation of Romans 11:34 in this Language Package must be checked against whichever rendering is finalized first for 1 Corinthians 2:16, and vice versa.

R4 — Passover Lamb typology. 1 Corinthians 5:7’s “Christ our Passover Lamb” (Mesih’imiz olan Fısıh kuzusu) must be taught as reinforcing, not duplicating, the fixed John 1:29 Lamb of God rendering (“Tanrı Kuzusu”). Use kuzu (lamb) consistently across both.

R5 — Genesis 2:24 (“one flesh”). 1 Corinthians 6:16 and Ephesians 5:31 quote the identical verse. Both occurrences require identical Turkish wording (e.g., “ikisi bir beden olur” or the equivalent phrase fixed first in whichever book is translated first in Phase 2). This is the single highest-priority consistency rule in this document, given the doctrinal weight both passages place on the same creation-order text.

R6 — “Bought with a price.” 1 Corinthians 6:20 and 7:23 (ἠγοράσθητε) must render with God/Christ as the purchasing agent and the believer as the one purchased — direction never reversed. Consistent with the baseline’s atonement_curse_bearing entry’s kurban-direction caution.

R7 — Household code cross-reference. 1 Corinthians 7’s marriage counsel must not contradict the Ephesians 5:21 mutual-submission frame or the Colossians 3:18-19 household code; where 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 states mutual conjugal obligation explicitly, translators should note this as the same mutuality principle, using compatible (not necessarily identical, since the underlying Greek differs) relational vocabulary.

R8 — “The Rock was Christ.” 1 Corinthians 10:4 must be cross-referenced in teaching material to Colossians 1:16-17’s creator_and_sustainer_of_all doctrine and John 1:1-3’s Logos pre-existence, using compatible pre-existence vocabulary (Christ’s real, active, personal presence in OT history, not merely a symbolic association).

R9 — Cin/δαιμόνιον. 1 Corinthians 10:20-21’s “cup of demons” (cinlerin kâsesi) must be handled with the same resonance-without-conflation discipline already fixed for Ephesians 6:12’s armor_of_god “principalities and powers” entry.

R10 — Words of Institution. 1 Corinthians 11:23-25 must render identically to the fixed Matthew 26:26-28 and Luke 22:19-20 wording already in translation memory (“Bu benim bedenimdir… Bu benim kanımdır, antlaşmanın kanı”), varying only where Paul’s Greek text itself differs in wording from Matthew’s/Luke’s (e.g., “bu bardak” for “this cup,” 11:25’s slightly different formula “Bu kâse, kanımla kurulan yeni antlaşmadır” should be checked against the Luke 22:20 rendering specifically, since Luke’s wording is closest to Paul’s here).

R11 — “Jesus is Lord.” 1 Corinthians 12:3 must render identically to Romans 10:9’s İsa Rab’dir, with no stylistic variation.

R12 — Sevgi, never aşk. Every occurrence of ἀγάπη in 1 Corinthians 13 (and elsewhere in the letter, e.g., 8:1, 3; 16:14) must use sevgi. Aşk is forbidden in this Language Package for ἀγάπη, given its Sufi mystical-erotic (aşk-ı ilahi) register.

R13 — Cephas/Kefas. 1 Corinthians 15:5 and Galatians 1:18; 2:9, 11, 14 must use the identical Kefas form, cross-referenced to the established Petrus/Kefas convention.

R14 — Adam-Christ typology. 1 Corinthians 15:21-22, 45-49 and Romans 5:12-19 must be taught as one unified representative-headship argument. Where both texts are cited in the same lesson, use identical ilk Adam / son Adam vocabulary.

R15 — Psalm 110:1 and Psalm 8:6 (“under his feet”). 1 Corinthians 15:25, 27 and Ephesians 1:20, 22 quote these two psalms in immediate proximity to each other in both books. Use matched Turkish phrasing for “under his feet” (ayakları altına koydu) across all four occurrences.

R16 — Isaiah 25:8 / Hosea 13:14. 1 Corinthians 15:54-55 must render both citations as one continuous triumphant declaration with full rhetorical force, matching the established discipline for other high-doxology passages in this Language Package (e.g., Philippians 2:9-11; Romans 11:33-36).

R17 — Aramaic exclamations. 1 Corinthians 16:22’s Marana tha must be retained transliterated with a Turkish gloss attached (“Marana ta [Rab’bimiz, gel!]”), following the established Abba/Baba convention (Romans 8:15; Mark 14:36) — never fully translated away, never left unglossed.
