Risk summary
6 Critical, 4 High, 1 Medium, 0 Low. 10 require mandatory human theologian review; 1 requires native speaker review; 0 are automated-only. This package’s risk profile is the highest-density Christological cluster after Philippians, driven by the Christ Hymn (doctrines 1, 3) and the fullness-of-deity passage (doctrine 6).
Coverage confirmation
All 11 doctrines are drawn from the full four-chapter sweep: chapter 1 (#1, #2, #3, #4), chapter 2 (#5, #6, #7), chapter 3 (#8, #9, #10), chapter 4 (#10, #11). No chapter contributed zero doctrines.
Critical Risk Doctrines
The Supremacy of Christ Over Creation
Turkish name: Mesih’in Yaratılış Üzerindeki Üstünlüğü
Key terms: image_of_the_invisible_god, firstborn_of_creation, creator_and_sustainer_of_all
Review routing: Human theologian
‘İlk doğan’ must never imply Christ was created; rank/supremacy sense only, distinct from the Islamic doctrine that God has no offspring.
The Reconciliation of All Things
Turkish name: Her Şeyin Barıştırılması
Key terms: fullness_and_reconciliation
Review routing: Human theologian
Universal scope retained without qualification; the means (the blood of his cross) kept concretely historical.
Warning Against False Teaching
Turkish name: Sahte Öğretiye Karşı Uyarı
Key terms: philosophy_and_empty_deceit
Review routing: Human theologian
Never a blanket anti-philosophy statement, given Turkey’s own falsafa/kelam and secular humanist intellectual traditions.
The Fullness of Deity in Christ
Turkish name: Mesih’te Tanrılığın Doluluğu
Key terms: fullness_of_deity_bodily
Review routing: Human theologian
The sharpest single-verse tawhid confrontation in this Language Package alongside Philippians 2:6; bedensel olarak must be retained explicitly.
Unity in Christ
Turkish name: Mesih’te Birlik
Key terms: christ_is_all_in_all
Review routing: Human theologian
Retain the full unqualified list of dissolved distinctions, consistent with the Galatians 3:28 and Ephesians 4:4-6 discipline.
The Household Code
Turkish name: Ev Düzeni
Review routing: Human theologian
Closely parallels Ephesians 5:22-6:9; the same Medeni Kanun/family-law sensitivity and mandatory theologian AND native-speaker review requirement applies in full.
High Risk Doctrines
Christ as Head of the Church
Turkish name: Mesih, Kilisenin Başı
Key terms: firstborn_from_the_dead
Review routing: Human theologian
Reuses baş exactly from the Ephesians package.
The Mystery: Christ in You
Turkish name: Sır: İçinizdeki Mesih
Review routing: Human theologian
Reuses sır from the Ephesians package; Christ’s indwelling must remain personally distinct, guarding against a fena/vahdet-i vücud misreading per the Galatians package’s caution.
Freedom from Religious Regulations
Turkish name: Dinsel Kurallardan Özgürlük
Key terms: worship_of_angels
Review routing: Human theologian
Angel-worship warning resonates with Islam’s own reservation of worship for God alone.
Put Off the Old, Put On the New
Turkish name: Eskiyi Çıkarıp Yeniyi Giyinmek
Review routing: Human theologian
Extends the Ephesians package’s old-self/new-self doctrine (4:22-24) to this letter, at a different passage.
Medium Risk Doctrines
Prayer and Conduct Toward Outsiders
Turkish name: Dua ve Dışarıdakilere Karşı Davranış
Key terms: speech_seasoned_with_salt
Review routing: Native speaker review
Low doctrinal risk; native speaker review for register and naturalness.
