Core Glossary
Core Glossary — 1 Timothy (English → Turkish)
This glossary consolidates every load-bearing term identified in 07_semantic_analysis.md, organized by chapter of first/primary occurrence. Terms already present in the baseline Romans/Galatians/Ephesians/Philippians/Colossians/Matthew/Mark/Luke/John translation memory are marked [TM] and MUST be reused exactly as recorded there. New terms introduced by this curriculum are marked [NEW] and are proposed for addition to translation memory upon theologian approval.
Risk tiers follow the baseline definitions: Critical/High require human theologian review; Medium requires native speaker review; Low requires automated review only.

Critical Risk Terms
Righteousness
Approved rendering: Doğruluk
Transliteration: doh-roo-LOOK
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: salih amel (righteous deeds), adalet (justice, generic)
Inherited from Romans package. Used in the 6:11 virtue list (‘pursue righteousness’); never salih amel.
Justification
Approved rendering: Aklanma
Transliteration: ahk-lahn-MAH
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: günahların affı (forgiveness of sins, alone), temize çıkma (colloquial ‘being cleared’)
Inherited from Romans package. Deliberately NOT reused at 1 Timothy 3:16’s ‘vindicated in the Spirit’ (edikaiōthē en pneumati) — see vindicated_in_the_spirit entry below for the required deviation.
Salvation
Approved rendering: Kurtuluş
Transliteration: koor-too-LOOSH
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: cennete girmek (entering paradise, as the whole content), necat (Ottoman/Arabic register)
Inherited from Romans package. Root of Kurtarıcı (Savior, 1 Timothy 1:1, 2:3, 4:10) and of sōthēsetai (2:15, ‘saved through childbearing’ — flagged, not adjudicated).
Lord
Approved rendering: Rab
Transliteration: RAHB
Doctrine: Lordship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: efendi (master, non-divine), üstat (teacher/master)
Inherited from Romans package. Central to 1 Timothy 1:2, 1:12, 6:3, 6:14-15 (appearing of the Lord; King of kings/Lord of lords).
Son Of God
Approved rendering: Tanrı’nın Oğlu
Transliteration: tahn-RUH-nuhn oh-LOO
Doctrine: Sonship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: Tanrı’nın sevgili kulu (God’s beloved servant), kutsal kişi (holy person)
Inherited from Romans package. Background doctrine underlying 1 Timothy 2:5’s ‘the man Christ Jesus’ and 3:16’s Christ hymn; full deity must be held together with 2:5’s humanity emphasis.
Incarnation
Approved rendering: Beden alma
Transliteration: beh-DEN ahl-MAH
Doctrine: Incarnation
Rejected alternatives: Tanrı’nın insan kılığına girmesi (God disguising himself as a human), tecessüm (bare philosophical term)
Inherited from Romans package. Governs the correct incarnational sense of sarx at 1 Timothy 3:16’s ‘manifested in the flesh’ (ephanerōthē en sarki) — see manifested_in_the_flesh entry; never rendered with the ethical Benlik-family vocabulary.
Messiah
Approved rendering: Mesih
Transliteration: meh-SEEH
Doctrine: Messianic Promise
Rejected alternatives: sadece bir peygamber (merely a prophet)
Inherited from Romans package. Always paired İsa Mesih throughout 1 Timothy per baseline pairing rule (never İsa alone in doctrinally significant contexts).

Transliteration: ee-SAH
Doctrine: Lordship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: bare ‘İsa Peygamber’ (Prophet Jesus, without Mesih)
Inherited from Romans package. Must be paired with Mesih throughout, especially at the Critical-risk 2:5, 3:16, and 6:14 passages.
God
Approved rendering: Tanrı
Transliteration: tahn-RUH
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: Allah (theologically usable but politically/socially contested for Christian texts in some contexts)
Inherited from Romans package. Load-bearing throughout; 1 Timothy 1:17’s ‘monos theos’ (tek Tanrı) is a genuine positive tawhid-resonance point.
Holy Spirit
Approved rendering: Kutsal Ruh
Transliteration: koot-SAHL ROOH
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: Cebrail (the archangel Gabriel)
Inherited from Romans package. Used at 1 Timothy 4:1 (‘the Spirit says’) and as the referent in 3:16’s ‘vindicated en pneumati.‘
Father
Approved rendering: Baba
Transliteration: bah-BAH
Doctrine: Adoption into God’s Family
Rejected alternatives: Yaratıcı (Creator, as a substitute to avoid relational language)

Transliteration: gur-ryoon-MEHZ tahn-ruh-NUHN gur-ryoon-tyoo-SYOO
Doctrine: The Supremacy of Christ Over Creation
Inherited from Colossians package (1:15). Cross-referenced for 1 Timothy 6:16’s ‘whom no one has seen or can see’ — a genuine tawhid-resonant divine-transcendence affirmation; not a direct quotation reuse but a doctrinal-family cross-reference.
Vice List Arsenokoites
Approved rendering: eşcinsel ilişkiye giren (bağlamsal ifade, tartışmalı; bkz. çevirmen notu)
Transliteration: esh-jeen-SEL ee-leesh-kee-YEH gee-REN

Original: ἀρσενοκοίτης (within the 1:9-10 vice list)
Category: Sound Doctrine versus False Teaching
NEW. 1 Timothy 1:9-10 vice list (also 1 Corinthians 6:9). Contemporarily sensitive, exegetically debated. Must render accurately without euphemistic softening; pastoral framing belongs in surrounding teaching material, not the term. Flagged, not adjudicated. Mandatory theologian review, every occurrence.
One Mediator
Approved rendering: Aracı (tek/bir tek)
Transliteration: ah-rah-JUH (tek / beer tek)
Doctrine: Christ as the One Mediator
Rejected alternatives: şefaat, evliya/veli-benzeri aracılık modeli
Original: εἷς μεσίτης
Category: Christ as the One Mediator
NEW. 1 Timothy 2:5. Reuses Aracı but ELEVATES doctrine risk to Critical given the explicit exclusivity claim (heis, ‘one/only’). Confronts both şefaat (Muhammad’s Judgment-Day intercession) and evliya/aziz shrine-intercession veneration. Parallel in weight to John 14:6. Mandatory theologian review, every occurrence.
The Man Christ Jesus
Approved rendering: İnsan olan Mesih İsa
Transliteration: een-SAHN oh-LAHN meh-SEEH ee-SAH
Doctrine: Christ as the One Mediator
Rejected alternatives: reduction to ‘merely human’
Original: ἄνθρωπος Χριστὸς Ἰησοῦς
Category: Christ as the One Mediator
NEW. 1 Timothy 2:5. Must be held together with, never substituted for, Christ’s established full deity. Given the Qur’anic prophet-only Jesus framework, mandatory teaching pairing with full deity at every occurrence.

Approved rendering: Öğretmesine ve erkek üzerinde yetki kullanmasına izin vermiyorum
Transliteration: ur-ret-meh-see-NEH veh er-KEK yoo-zeh-reen-DEH yet-KEE kool-lahn-mah-suh-NAH
Doctrine: Public Worship and Prayer
Rejected alternatives: erkeğe hükmetmesine (recorded as disputed alternative)
Original: διδάσκειν, αὐθεντεῖν
Category: Public Worship and Prayer
NEW. 1 Timothy 2:12. authenteō is rare and contested; flagged, not adjudicated. Intersects with Turkey’s 1926 Medeni Kanun gender-equality framework. Mandatory theologian AND native-speaker review, every occurrence.
Saved Through Childbearing
Approved rendering: Çocuk doğurarak kurtulacaktır
Transliteration: choh-JOOK doh-oo-rah-RAHK koor-too-lah-jahk-TUHR
Doctrine: Public Worship and Prayer
Rejected alternatives: salvation-by-motherhood reading
Original: σωθήσεται διὰ τῆς τεκνογονίας
Category: Public Worship and Prayer
NEW. 1 Timothy 2:15. At least three competing scholarly readings; must never imply motherhood as a soteriological condition, which would contradict the established grace-through-faith Kurtuluş doctrine. Mandatory accompanying theologian note; flagged, not adjudicated.
Pillar And Foundation Of The Truth
Approved rendering: Gerçeğin direği ve temeli
Transliteration: gher-cheh-EEN dee-reh-EE veh teh-meh-LEE
Doctrine: The Church as Pillar of Truth
Original: στῦλος καὶ ἑδραίωμα τῆς ἀληθείας
Category: The Church as Pillar of Truth
NEW. 1 Timothy 3:15. Must be taught with care distinguishing from any icma/community-consensus doctrinal-authority model, or the Diyanet’s institutional-guardian role; the church UPHOLDS and DISPLAYS a truth already given and completed in Christ, it does not generate new doctrine by agreement.
Mystery Of Godliness
Approved rendering: Tanrı yolunda yaşayışın sırrı
Transliteration: tahn-RUH yoh-loon-DAH yah-shah-yuh-SHUHN SUHR-ruh
Doctrine: The Church as Pillar of Truth
Original: τὸ τῆς εὐσεβείας μυστήριον
Category: The Church as Pillar of Truth
NEW. 1 Timothy 3:16. Reuses Sır; requires the same qualification as 3:9’s mystery_of_the_faith. Godliness is not an achievement but a Person confessed (Christ).
Manifested In The Flesh
Approved rendering: Bedende göründü
Transliteration: beh-den-DEH gur-ryoon-DYOO
Doctrine: The Church as Pillar of Truth
Rejected alternatives: Benlik-family vocabulary (WRONG — ethical fallen-nature sense)
Original: ἐφανερώθη ἐν σαρκί
Category: The Church as Pillar of Truth
NEW. 1 Timothy 3:16, hymn line 1. TRANSLATOR CAUTION: sarx here uses the incarnational sense (Beden alma family), matching John 1:14/Romans 1:3/8:3, NEVER the ethical Benlik-family sense. A wrong rendering would imply Christ assumed a sinful nature.
Vindicated In The Spirit
Approved rendering: Ruh tarafından doğrulandı
Transliteration: ROOH tah-rah-fuhn-DAHN doh-roo-lahn-DUH
Doctrine: The Church as Pillar of Truth
Rejected alternatives: Ruh tarafından aklandı (WRONG — wrongly imports the sinner’s-acquittal sense of Aklanma onto Christ)
Original: ἐδικαιώθη ἐν πνεύματι
Category: The Church as Pillar of Truth
NEW. 1 Timothy 3:16, hymn line 2. DELIBERATE, MANDATORY DEVIATION from the established Aklanma (justification) term: the referent here is Christ’s own vindication/confirmation, not a believing sinner’s forensic acquittal. Mandatory theologian review to confirm the distinction is preserved.
Christ Hymn Remaining Lines
Approved rendering: Melekler tarafından görüldü, uluslar arasında duyuruldu, dünyada iman edildi, yücelik içinde yukarı alındı
Transliteration: meh-lek-LEHR tah-rah-fuhn-DAHN gur-ryool-DYOO
Doctrine: The Church as Pillar of Truth
Original: ὤφθη ἀγγέλοις, ἐκηρύχθη ἐν ἔθνεσιν, ἐπιστεύθη ἐν κόσμῳ, ἀνελήμφθη ἐν δόξῃ
Category: The Church as Pillar of Truth
NEW. 1 Timothy 3:16, hymn lines 3-6. Reuses Uluslar, Yücelik, Müjde-root (duyuruldu), and the established göğe alındı ascension family. Treat as a unified six-line hymn parallel in weight to Philippians 2:6-11 and Colossians 1:15-20; mandatory theologian review for the whole unit.
Love Of Money Root Of All Evils
Approved rendering: Her türlü kötülüğün bir kökü de para sevgisidir
Transliteration: hehr tyoor-LOO kur-too-loo-OON beer kur-KYOO deh pah-RAH sev-gee-see-DEER
Doctrine: Godliness and Contentment
Rejected alternatives: para köküdür (WRONG — ‘money is the root,’ misstates the text)
Original: ῥίζα γὰρ πάντων τῶν κακῶν ἐστὶν ἡ φιλαργυρία
Category: Godliness and Contentment
NEW. 1 Timothy 6:10. MUST retain ‘sevgisi’ (love of) — never collapse to ‘money is the root,’ which would contradict 6:17-19’s positive instruction to the wealthy. Genuine resonance with Islamic tamah/cimrilik ethics when the distinction is preserved.
Fight The Good Fight
Approved rendering: İmanın iyi mücadelesini sürdür
Transliteration: ee-mah-NUHN ee-YEE myoo-jah-deh-leh-see-NEE syoor-DYOOR
Doctrine: Guarding the Deposit of Faith
Rejected alternatives: cihat / cihat etmek (ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN)
Original: ἀγωνίζου τὸν καλὸν ἀγῶνα τῆς πίστεως
Category: Guarding the Deposit of Faith
NEW. 1 Timothy 6:12. CRITICAL FORBIDDEN SUBSTITUTION: never cihat, despite the superficial ‘struggle’ parallel with Sufi cihad-ı ekber; cihat carries a distinct Islamic juridical-military history. Use mücadele etmek/mücadele exclusively. Reuses İman.
Appearing Of The Lord
Approved rendering: Rab İsa Mesih’in görünmesi
Transliteration: RAHB ee-sah meh-see-HEEN gur-ryoon-meh-SEE
Doctrine: Christ as the One Mediator
Original: ἐπιφάνεια τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
Category: Christ as the One Mediator
NEW. 1 Timothy 6:14. Reuses Rab, İsa, Mesih exactly, always paired. Genuine resonance AND risk with Islamic nüzul-i İsa eschatology, which differs radically (İsa returns as a Muslim prophet, dies naturally, is buried) from Christ’s reigning, exalted, universally-acknowledged return. Mandatory theologian review; teaching material must address the contrast explicitly.
Guard The Deposit
Approved rendering: Sana emanet edileni koru
Transliteration: sah-NAH eh-mah-NET eh-dee-leh-NEE koh-ROO
Doctrine: Guarding the Deposit of Faith
Rejected alternatives: sünnet/hadis-usulü emanet zinciri (chain-of-transmission vocabulary)
Original: τὴν παραθήκην φύλαξον
Category: Guarding the Deposit of Faith
NEW. 1 Timothy 6:20. Emanet is doubly loaded: genuine positive resonance (cf. ‘Kutsal Emanetler’ relics at Topkapı Palace; everyday entrusted-object sense) AND risk of importing the isnad/hadith-transmission chain-of-narration model. The deposit here is the ONCE-GIVEN, complete apostolic gospel (cf. 3:16), not an expanding oral tradition requiring chain-of-custody verification. Mandatory theologian review and first-occurrence teaching note.
Falsely Called Knowledge
Approved rendering: Yalancı bilgi
Transliteration: yah-lahn-JUH beel-GEE
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine versus False Teaching
Original: τῆς ψευδωνύμου γνώσεως
Category: Sound Doctrine versus False Teaching
NEW. 1 Timothy 6:20. Widely understood as an early warning against proto-Gnostic teaching. Connect to, but do not conflate with, the Galatians known_by_god/irfan caution; keep the critique narrowly anchored to the historical false teaching in view.
High Risk Terms
Gospel
Approved rendering: Müjde
Transliteration: MYUZH-deh
Doctrine: Gospel
Rejected alternatives: İncil (bare, unqualified), iyi haber (generic)
Inherited from Romans package. Reused exactly for 1 Timothy’s ‘sound doctrine’ vocabulary family (1:11’s ‘the glorious gospel’); Müjde keeps the living-proclamation sense distinct from İncil’s Qur’anic-book association.
Grace
Approved rendering: Lütuf
Transliteration: lyoo-TOOF
Doctrine: Grace
Rejected alternatives: rahmet, keramet, bağış
Inherited from Romans package. Used at 1 Timothy 1:2, 1:14, 6:21 (closing benediction). Distinct from Merhamet (mercy) and from rahmet.
Faith
Approved rendering: İman
Transliteration: ee-MAHN
Doctrine: Faith
Rejected alternatives: inanç (generic belief)
Inherited from Romans package. Load-bearing throughout 1 Timothy (1:5, 1:14, 1:19, 3:9, 3:13, 4:1, 4:6, 6:10, 6:12, 6:21); object of faith (Christ) must remain explicit.
Holy
Approved rendering: Kutsal
Transliteration: koot-SAHL
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: temiz (ritually clean), mübarek (blessed)
Inherited from Romans package. Used at 2:8 (‘holy hands’) and as the root of 4:5’s ‘sanctified’ (kutsal kılınır).
Sanctification
Approved rendering: Kutsallaşma
Transliteration: koot-sahl-lahsh-MAH
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: arınma (ritual purification)
Inherited from Romans package. Root shared with 1 Timothy 4:5’s hagiazetai; moral-relational, not ritual, sense.
Law
Approved rendering: Kutsal Yasa
Transliteration: koot-SAHL yah-SAH
Doctrine: Fulfillment of Prophecy / Law and Grace
Rejected alternatives: şeriat (Islamic religious law), Tevrat Yasası (bare ‘Torah law’)
Inherited from Romans package. 1 Timothy 1:8-9 (‘the law is good if used lawfully’). NEVER şeriat.
Sin
Approved rendering: Günah
Transliteration: goo-NAH
Doctrine: Universal Human Accountability
Rejected alternatives: hata (mistake/error), kusur (flaw/defect)
Inherited from Romans package. Used throughout ch. 1 vice list and 5:20, 5:22, 5:24.
Glory
Approved rendering: Yücelik
Transliteration: yoo-jeh-LEEK
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: nur (divine light, heavily loaded in Islamic and Sufi mysticism)
Inherited from Romans package. Used at 1 Timothy 1:17 (doxology) and 3:16 (‘taken up in glory’).
Flesh Ethical Sense
Approved rendering: Benlik
Transliteration: ben-LEEK
Doctrine: Flesh versus Spirit
Rejected alternatives: beden (physical body, would imply body-negation)
Inherited from Galatians package. NOT used for 1 Timothy 3:16’s sarx (incarnational sense; see Beden alma above); retained here only to mark the boundary the AI must not cross when translating the Christ hymn.
Mystery
Approved rendering: Sır
Transliteration: SUHR
Doctrine: The Mystery of Christ
Inherited from Ephesians package. Reused for 1 Timothy 3:9 (‘mystery of the faith’) and 3:16 (‘mystery of godliness’); qualify on first occurrence per lesson against both the everyday ‘secret’ sense and Sufi/Alevi esoteric sırr associations.
Mediator
Approved rendering: Aracı
Transliteration: ah-rah-JUH
Doctrine: The Law’s Purpose
Rejected alternatives: şefaat (reserved for the Islamic Muhammad-intercession doctrine)
Inherited from Galatians package (of Moses, 3:19-20). REUSED but DOCTRINE ELEVATED TO CRITICAL for 1 Timothy 2:5’s ‘one mediator’ (heis mesitēs) — see one_mediator entry below for the elevated, book-specific risk rating.
Slaves And Masters
Approved rendering: köleler / efendiler
Transliteration: kur-leh-LEHR / eh-fehn-dee-LEHR
Doctrine: Household Code: Slaves and Masters
Inherited from Ephesians/Colossians package. Reused exactly at 1 Timothy 6:1-2. Explicit historical-distancing framing required; Ottoman Empire’s own eventually-abolished institution of slavery is relevant background, not a basis for contemporary equivalence.
Ransom
Approved rendering: Fidye
Transliteration: feed-YEH
Doctrine: Son of Man as Servant and Ransom
Inherited from Matthew package (20:28’s son_of_man_ransom). Reused exactly for 1 Timothy 2:6’s antilytron (‘ransom for all’).
Eternal Life
Approved rendering: Sonsuz yaşam
Transliteration: son-SOOZ yah-SHAHM
Doctrine: Divine Judgment and Moral Accountability
Rejected alternatives: a deeds-scale (mizan) reward framing
Inherited from Galatians package (6:8). Reused exactly for 1 Timothy 6:12, 6:19.
Elemental Principles
Approved rendering: Dünyanın temel ilkeleri
Transliteration: dyoo-nyah-NUHN teh-mel eel-keh-leh-REE
Doctrine: Adoption and Sonship / False Asceticism
Inherited from Galatians package (4:3, 4:9). Cross-referenced doctrine for 1 Timothy 4:1-5’s false asceticism; the target is a specific heresy claiming necessity, not fasting/dietary practice as such.
Husband Of One Wife
Approved rendering: Tek eşli olmalı / bir kadının kocası
Transliteration: tek esh-LEE ohl-mah-LUH
Doctrine: Qualifications for Church Leadership
Original: μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρα
Category: Qualifications for Church Leadership
NEW. 1 Timothy 3:2, 3:12. Exegetical range (monogamy / fidelity / anti-polygamy polemic) flagged, not resolved. Unusually concrete given Ottoman-era legal polygamy (abolished 1926 Medeni Kanun) and continuing informal ‘imam nikahı’ plural unions in some communities. Mandatory theologian review.
Mystery Of The Faith
Approved rendering: İmanın sırrı
Transliteration: ee-mah-NUHN SUHR-ruh
Doctrine: Guarding the Deposit of Faith
Original: τὸ μυστήριον τῆς πίστεως
Category: Guarding the Deposit of Faith
NEW. 1 Timothy 3:9. Reuses Sır + İman exactly. Must be qualified against everyday ‘secret’ sense and Sufi/Alevi sırr esoteric associations; the once-hidden-now-revealed gospel, not initiate-only teaching.
Women Likewise
Approved rendering: Kadınlar da öyle
Transliteration: kah-duhn-LAHR dah ury-LEH
Doctrine: Qualifications for Church Leadership
Original: γυναῖκας ὡσαύτως
Category: Qualifications for Church Leadership
NEW. 1 Timothy 3:11. Genuinely disputed referent (deacons’ wives / women deacons); record both readings as alternatives_considered, never resolved in translated text. Mandatory theologian review.
Teach A Different Doctrine
Approved rendering: Başka bir öğreti öğretmek
Transliteration: bahsh-KAH beer ur-reh-TEE ur-ret-MEK
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine versus False Teaching
Rejected alternatives: bidat (imports Islamic legal-theological innovation apparatus)
Original: ἑτεροδιδασκαλέω
Category: Sound Doctrine versus False Teaching
NEW. 1 Timothy 1:3, 6:3 (bookends the letter). Same ἕτερος root as Galatians’ false_gospel; must not be assimilated to the naskh/abrogation frame — a teaching different in KIND, not a superseded predecessor.
Deliver To Satan
Approved rendering: Şeytan’a teslim ettim
Transliteration: shey-tah-NAH tes-LEEM et-TEEM
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine versus False Teaching
Rejected alternatives: curse/nazar framing
Original: παραδίδωμι τῷ Σατανᾷ
Category: Sound Doctrine versus False Teaching
NEW. 1 Timothy 1:20. Formal, restorative-intent church discipline, never a magical curse-transfer (nazar, muska); consistent with the Galatians anathema/lanet caution.
Gods Universal Salvific Will
Approved rendering: Tanrı bütün insanların kurtulmasını istiyor
Transliteration: tahn-RUH byoo-TYOON een-sahn-lah-RUHN koor-tool-mah-suh-NUH ees-tee-YOR

Transliteration: feed-YEH
Doctrine: Christ as the One Mediator
Original: ἀντίλυτρον ὑπὲρ πάντων
Category: Christ as the One Mediator

Rejected alternatives: tesettür/başörtüsü terminology
Original: καταστολή, κόσμιος, αἰδώς, σωφροσύνη
Category: Public Worship and Prayer
NEW. 1 Timothy 2:9. MUST NOT engage the contemporary Turkish başörtüsü/tesettür dress-code debate; text’s concern is ostentatious wealth-display, not garment-type. Mandatory native-speaker AND theologian review.
Depart From The Faith
Approved rendering: İmandan uzaklaşacaklar
Transliteration: ee-mahn-DAHN oo-zahk-lah-shah-jahk-LAHR
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine versus False Teaching
Original: ἀφίστημι τῆς πίστεως
Category: Sound Doctrine versus False Teaching
NEW. 1 Timothy 4:1. Reuses İman. Carries real apostasy-risk relevance for Turkish readers; pastoral, not merely doctrinal, sensitivity required.
Deceiving Spirits Teachings Of Demons
Approved rendering: Aldatıcı ruhlar ve cinlerin öğretileri
Transliteration: ahl-dah-tuh-JUH rooh-LAHR veh jeen-leh-REEN ur-reh-tee-leh-REE
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine versus False Teaching
Original: πνεύματα πλάνα καὶ διδασκαλίαι δαιμονίων

Forbidding Marriage And Foods
Approved rendering: Evlenmeyi yasaklıyorlar, yiyeceklerden kaçınmayı buyuruyorlar
Transliteration: ev-len-meh-YEE yah-sahk-luh-yohr-LAHR
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine versus False Teaching
Original: κωλυόντων γαμεῖν, ἀπέχεσθαι βρωμάτων
Category: Sound Doctrine versus False Teaching
NEW. 1 Timothy 4:3. MUST NOT be read as critique of Ramazan oruç or helal/haram observed as ordinary devotion; targets a specific ascetic HERESY claiming necessity. Extends Galatians elemental_principles and Mark freedom_from_dietary_law.
Bodily Exercise Train For Godliness
Approved rendering: Bedensel alıştırma… Tanrı yoluna alıştır kendini
Transliteration: beh-den-SEL ah-luhsh-tuhr-MAH
Doctrine: Godliness and Contentment
Original: γύμναζε σεαυτὸν πρὸς εὐσέβειαν
Category: Godliness and Contentment
NEW. 1 Timothy 4:7-8. Reinforces the Galatians caution against Sufi nefis-mücahede (self-effort ascetic discipline); godliness is Spirit-grounded, not a self-discipline technique.
Godliness
Approved rendering: Tanrı yolunda yaşayış
Transliteration: tahn-RUH yoh-loon-DAH yah-shah-YUHSH
Doctrine: Godliness and Contentment
Rejected alternatives: dindarlık
Original: εὐσέβεια
Category: Godliness and Contentment
NEW. Central positive-virtue term of the letter (2:2, 2:10, 3:16, 4:7-8, 6:3, 6:5-6, 6:11). REJECTED: dindarlık, which carries strong generic Islamic ritual-observance connotations rather than this letter’s specifically Christ-centered content (cf. 3:16). Mandatory teaching note on first occurrence per lesson; must remain consistent across all eight occurrences.
Savior Of All People
Approved rendering: Bütün insanların Kurtarıcısı, özellikle iman edenlerin
Transliteration: byoo-TYOON een-sahn-lah-RUHN koor-tah-ruh-juh-SUH
Doctrine: Christ as the One Mediator

Transliteration: yahsh-LUH / eeh-tee-YAHR
Doctrine: Qualifications for Church Leadership
Rejected alternatives: Şeyh
Original: πρεσβύτερος
Category: Qualifications for Church Leadership
NEW. 1 Timothy 5:1-2 (generic age) vs. 5:17, 5:19 (office). REJECTED for office-sense: Şeyh, a Sufi-tradition venerated-master term tied to a tarikat and sometimes shrine-veneration, which would import an unaccountable authority model directly contradicting 5:19-20’s examinable, disciplinable eldership. Mandatory clarifying teaching note on first occurrence per lesson.
Sound Words
Approved rendering: Sağlam öğreti / sağlıklı sözler
Transliteration: sah-LAHM ur-reh-TEE / sah-luhk-LUH surz-LEHR
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine versus False Teaching
Rejected alternatives: Doğru öğreti (loses the medical-metaphor register)
Original: ὑγιαίνοντες λόγοι
Category: Sound Doctrine versus False Teaching
NEW. 1 Timothy 1:10, 6:3. This letter’s controlling medical metaphor for doctrine; consistency across both occurrences is essential. NEVER bidat.

Transliteration: kah-nah-AHT-leh beer-leek-TEH tahn-RUH yoh-loo-NAH ah-dahn-muhsh-LUHK
Doctrine: Godliness and Contentment
Rejected alternatives: zühd/tasavvuf world-renunciation framing
Original: εὐσέβεια μετὰ αὐταρκείας
Category: Godliness and Contentment
NEW. 1 Timothy 6:6. Kanaat is a live, positive Turkish virtue-term with genuine resonance, but risks importing a Sufi zühd/world-renunciation frame. Teach alongside 6:17-19 (rich should do good WITH wealth, not renounce it).
Lay Hold Of Eternal Life
Approved rendering: Sonsuz yaşama sıkıca sarıl
Transliteration: son-SOOZ yah-shah-MAH suhk-uh-JAH sah-RUHL
Doctrine: Guarding the Deposit of Faith

Doctrine: Christ as the One Mediator
Original: βασιλεὺς τῶν βασιλευόντων καὶ κύριος τῶν κυριευόντων
Category: Christ as the One Mediator
NEW. 1 Timothy 6:15. Reuses Rab exactly. Referent here = God the Father; note the NT’s later identical application to Christ (Revelation 17:14, 19:16) as a further shared-authority point, not competing sovereigns. Rhetorical resonance with Ottoman sultanic titulature (‘şahlar şahı’) noted as cultural bridge-point.
Slaves And Masters 1tim
Approved rendering: köleler / efendiler
Transliteration: kur-leh-LEHR / eh-fehn-dee-LEHR
Doctrine: Household Code: Slaves and Masters
Rejected alternatives: kul/kulluk

Transliteration: mer-hah-MET
