Romans — Cross-Reference & Theme-Connection Analysis
TRI Phase 1 · Step 3 — First Language Package for Twi
This document is the binding cross-reference baseline for all future twi curricula that touch Romans or any Pauline letter quoting the same Old Testament texts (most urgently: Galatians, which shares Genesis 15:6, Habakkuk 2:4, and Leviticus 18:5 with Romans). Citations are normalized as Book C:V (e.g., Genesis 15:6, Galatians 2:16) so downstream tooling can match references programmatically.
0. How to Use This Document
- Every row records: the Romans passage, its type (direct quotation / allusion / typology / messianic reference), the OT or NT source, the doctrine(s) it serves, any character it centers on, and a translation sensitivity rating using the same Critical/High/Medium/Low tiers defined in
07_semantic_analysis.md and 08_core_glossary.md.
- Where a quotation is reused within Romans itself (e.g., Isaiah 28:16 in both Rom. 9:33 and Rom. 10:11), this is flagged so the Twi rendering is guaranteed identical at both occurrences.
- Section 5 gives cross-curriculum consistency rules: binding instructions for how these same OT texts must be rendered when a future twi curriculum (Galatians, Hebrews, Acts, etc.) quotes them again. This is the mechanism by which this first Language Package becomes the seed for all others.
1. Chapter-by-Chapter OT Quotation & Allusion Matrix
Chapter 1
| Romans Passage | Type | OT/NT Source | Theme(s) | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Romans 1:2 | Allusion | (general) prophetic corpus | Gospel as fulfillment of promise | — | Low |
| Romans 1:3–4 | Messianic / typological fulfillment | 2 Samuel 7:12–16; Psalm 89:3–4 (Davidic promise) | Justification by Faith (Christ’s identity as ground of gospel); Gospel as Power of God | David, Jesus Christ | High — declaring Jesus “Son of David…Son of God ἐν δυνάμει” (Romans 1:4) must not be rendered so as to suggest divine sonship began at the resurrection (adoptionism). Twi: reuse wɔadi adanse sɛ (“it has been proven/attested that…”) per 07_semantic_analysis.md. |
| Romans 1:17 | Direct quotation | Habakkuk 2:4 | Justification by Faith; Grace and Salvation by Faith Alone | The righteous one (generic) | Critical — this is the letter’s programmatic verse. See §5 rule R-1 below; twi rendering of ho dikaios ek pisteōs zēsetai must match any future citation of Habakkuk 2:4 in Galatians 3:11 or Hebrews 10:38. |
Chapter 2
| Romans Passage | Type | OT/NT Source | Theme(s) | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Romans 2:6 | Allusion | Psalm 62:12; Proverbs 24:12 | Impartial judgment; Law and Its Purpose | — | Low |
| Romans 2:24 | Direct quotation | Isaiah 52:5 (cf. Ezekiel 36:20–23) | Law and Its Purpose; hypocrisy exposed | — | Medium — “the name of God is blasphemed” must not be softened; retain judicial force. |
Chapter 3
| Romans Passage | Type | OT/NT Source | Theme(s) | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Romans 3:4 | Direct quotation | Psalm 51:4 | God’s faithfulness vs. human unfaithfulness | David | Low |
| Romans 3:10–12 | Direct quotation (catena) | Psalm 14:1–3 / Psalm 53:1–3; Ecclesiastes 7:20 | Original Sin and Universal Guilt | — | High — anchors “none is righteous” claim that undergirds Bɔne (universal-guilt) doctrine; must be taught alongside Ch.5 Adam typology, not read as isolated poetic hyperbole. |
| Romans 3:13a | Direct quotation | Psalm 5:9 | Universal Guilt | — | Low |
| Romans 3:13b | Direct quotation | Psalm 140:3 | Universal Guilt | — | Low |
| Romans 3:14 | Direct quotation | Psalm 10:7 | Universal Guilt | — | Low |
| Romans 3:15–17 | Direct quotation | Isaiah 59:7–8 | Universal Guilt | — | Low |
| Romans 3:18 | Direct quotation | Psalm 36:1 | Universal Guilt (root: no fear of God) | — | Medium — “no fear of God” (Onyame ho suro) must not be confused with servile fear of capricious spirits; this is reverent awe absent, not terror present. |
| Romans 3:20 | Allusion | Psalm 143:2 | Law and Its Purpose; Justification | — | Medium |
| Romans 3:25 | Typological fulfillment | Leviticus 16 (Day of Atonement, mercy seat / hilastērion) | Grace and Salvation by Faith Alone; anchors mpata Critical term | Aaron (typologically), Christ | Critical — see glossary #42 (mpata). The mercy-seat background must be taught so the direction-of-action correction (God provides the mpata, not humans appeasing him) is explicit. |
Chapter 4
| Romans Passage | Type | OT/NT Source | Theme(s) | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Romans 4:3 | Direct quotation | Genesis 15:6 | Justification by Faith; Grace and Salvation by Faith Alone | Abraham | Critical — the foundational imputation text. See §5 rule R-2; this exact citation will recur in Galatians 3:6 and James 2:23 in future curricula and must be rendered identically. |
| Romans 4:6–8 | Direct quotation | Psalm 32:1–2 | Justification (imputed righteousness; forgiveness) | David | High — pairs logizomai (impute) with aphesis (forgiveness); reinforce distinction between “sins covered” and “righteousness credited,” both present in this quotation. |
| Romans 4:9,22–23 | Reused quotation | Genesis 15:6 (repeated) | Justification by Faith | Abraham | Critical (same as above; confirm identical Twi wording at each occurrence within Romans itself). |
| Romans 4:17 | Direct quotation | Genesis 17:5 | Election and Sovereignty of God (God who calls into being) | Abraham | Medium |
| Romans 4:18 | Direct quotation (partial) | Genesis 15:5 | Election and Sovereignty of God; Abrahamic promise | Abraham | Low |
| Romans 4:19–21 | Typology/allusion | Genesis 17:17; Genesis 18:11–14 | Faith against natural impossibility (Isaac’s birth) | Abraham, Sarah | Low |
Chapter 5
| Romans Passage | Type | OT/NT Source | Theme(s) | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Romans 5:12–14 | Typology (no direct quotation) | Genesis 2:16–17; Genesis 3:1–19 | Original Sin and Universal Guilt; Union with Christ (Adam/Christ contrast) | Adam | Critical — see 07_semantic_analysis.md §Ch.5, hamartia; the entire Adam-as-covenant-head structure has no native Akan analogue (no single-ancestor corruption doctrine) and must be taught as typology, explicitly named, not assumed to transfer intuitively. |
| Romans 5:14 | Explicit typological statement | Genesis 3 (Adam) | Union with Christ; Adam as “type” (τύπος) of Christ | Adam, Christ | Critical — Paul himself names Adam a typos of “the one to come”; twi rendering of typos (a pattern/type) should be su/nsɛso (“likeness/pattern”) and flagged in glossary as a new term for future curricula (Adam-Christ typology recurs in 1 Corinthians 15:22,45). |
| Romans 5:20 (implied) | Allusion | Torah-giving at Sinai (Exodus 19–20) | Law and Its Purpose (law increases the trespass) | Moses (implied) | Medium |
Chapter 6
| Romans Passage | Type | OT/NT Source | Theme(s) | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| (No direct OT quotation in Ch. 6) | — | — | Union with Christ; Sanctification | — | Chapter reviewed; contributes baptismal union-with-Christ imagery (6:3–4) drawing on Exodus-exodus/Red-Sea deliverance typology in broader Pauline usage (cf. 1 Corinthians 10:1–2) rather than a specific citation. Flag for future curricula: if a Twi Exodus curriculum is produced, cross-reference baptismal “dying/rising” language here. |
Chapter 7
| Romans Passage | Type | OT/NT Source | Theme(s) | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Romans 7:7 | Direct quotation | Exodus 20:17 / Deuteronomy 5:21 | The Law and Its Purpose (law reveals sin) | Moses (lawgiver) | Medium — “You shall not covet” (Nni akɔnnɔ bɔne) reuses glossary #57 akɔnnɔ; must retain moral markedness supplied by “bɔne.” |
| Romans 7:14–25 | Allusion/echo | Genesis 3 (post-fall divided will) | Original Sin; Sanctification struggle | Adam (echoed) | High — continues Ch.1/6–7 sarx (honam) risk; see glossary #10. |
Chapter 8
| Romans Passage | Type | OT/NT Source | Theme(s) | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Romans 8:15 | Terminological echo, not quotation | (Aramaic “Abba” preserved from Gethsemane tradition, Mark 14:36) | Union with Christ; Sanctification; Adoption | Jesus (Gethsemane) | Low — see glossary #61; retained as loanword. |
| Romans 8:20 | Allusion | Genesis 3:17–19 (creation’s curse) | Election/Sovereignty; cosmic redemption scope | Adam (implied) | Medium |
| Romans 8:33–34 | Allusion | Isaiah 50:8–9 (Servant vindicated, “who will condemn?”) | Justification by Faith; Union with Christ | The Servant (typologically Christ) | High — reinforces forensic-acquittal picture; keep consistent with bu bem (glossary #40). |
| Romans 8:36 | Direct quotation | Psalm 44:22 | Sanctification (suffering of the saints) | — | Low |
Chapter 9
| Romans Passage | Type | OT/NT Source | Theme(s) | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Romans 9:6–7 | Direct quotation | Genesis 21:12 | Election and Sovereignty of God; The Future of Israel | Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael | High |
| Romans 9:9 | Direct quotation | Genesis 18:10,14 | Election; sovereign promise fulfilled | Sarah | Low |
| Romans 9:12 | Direct quotation | Genesis 25:23 | Election and Sovereignty of God | Jacob, Esau | Critical — “the elder shall serve the younger” is the base text for unconditional election; direct proximity risk to nkrabea (fixed destiny) fatalism — see glossary #63–64; must be taught alongside Romans 10’s call to believe. |
| Romans 9:13 | Direct quotation | Malachi 1:2–3 | Election and Sovereignty of God | Jacob, Esau | Critical — “Jacob I loved, Esau I hated” requires careful teaching that Hebrew/Pauline “hate” here is covenantal non-choice/relative disfavor, not the Twi emotional term tan (hate) in its full intensity; recommend gloss note wherever quoted. |
| Romans 9:15 | Direct quotation | Exodus 33:19 | Election and Sovereignty of God; Mercy | Moses (recipient) | Medium |
| Romans 9:17 | Direct quotation | Exodus 9:16 | Election and Sovereignty of God; God’s purpose in hardening | Pharaoh | High — parallel risk to orgē (glossary #28): God’s hardening of Pharaoh must not be conflated with capricious spirit-affliction. |
| Romans 9:20 | Allusion | Isaiah 29:16; Isaiah 45:9 | Election and Sovereignty of God (potter/clay) | — | Low — see glossary #70 skeuos; potter/clay is culturally legible (pottery is a known Akan craft) — a genuine bridge, low risk. |
| Romans 9:25 | Direct quotation | Hosea 2:23 | The Future of Israel; grace to Gentiles | — | Medium |
| Romans 9:26 | Direct quotation | Hosea 1:10 | The Future of Israel | — | Medium |
| Romans 9:27–28 | Direct quotation | Isaiah 10:22–23 | The Future of Israel (remnant) | — | Medium |
| Romans 9:29 | Direct quotation | Isaiah 1:9 | The Future of Israel (remnant) | — | Low |
| Romans 9:33 | Direct quotation | Isaiah 28:16 / Isaiah 8:14 | Justification by Faith; Messianic (stumbling stone) | Christ (typified as the stone) | High — messianic; reused verbatim at Romans 10:11 — Twi rendering of ho pisteuōn ep’ autō ou kataischynthēsetai must be identical at both occurrences (see §5 rule R-3). |
Chapter 10
| Romans Passage | Type | OT/NT Source | Theme(s) | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Romans 10:5 | Direct quotation | Leviticus 18:5 | Law and Its Purpose (righteousness by law-doing, contrasted) | Moses | High — this citation will recur in Galatians 3:12; see §5 rule R-4 for mandatory identical rendering. |
| Romans 10:6–8 | Direct quotation (adapted) | Deuteronomy 30:12–14 | Grace and Salvation by Faith Alone (nearness of the word) | Moses | Medium |
| Romans 10:11 | Reused quotation | Isaiah 28:16 (= Rom. 9:33) | Justification by Faith; Messianic | Christ (implied) | High — see R-3. |
| Romans 10:12–13 | Direct quotation | Joel 2:32 | Gospel as Power of God for Salvation; universal call | — | Medium — “whoever calls on the name of the Lord” (Awurade) is the same divine name convention fixed in §0; must not be softened to a generic deity reference. |
| Romans 10:15 | Direct quotation | Isaiah 52:7 | Gospel as Power of God; missionary sending | — | Low |
| Romans 10:16 | Direct quotation | Isaiah 53:1 | Messianic (Suffering Servant); unbelief despite proclamation | The Servant (Christ) | High — direct link to Isaiah 53 Servant Songs; if/when a future Isaiah curriculum in twi is produced, this is the seam-point requiring identical Servant vocabulary. |
| Romans 10:18 | Direct quotation | Psalm 19:4 | Universal scope of gospel proclamation | — | Low |
| Romans 10:19 | Direct quotation | Deuteronomy 32:21 | The Future of Israel; provoking Israel to jealousy | — | Medium |
| Romans 10:20–21 | Direct quotation | Isaiah 65:1–2 | The Future of Israel; Gentile inclusion, Israel’s resistance | — | Medium |
Chapter 11
| Romans Passage | Type | OT/NT Source | Theme(s) | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Romans 11:1 | Allusion | 1 Samuel 12:22; Psalm 94:14 | The Future of Israel (God has not rejected his people) | — | Low |
| Romans 11:2–4 | Direct quotation/narrative allusion | 1 Kings 19:10,18 | The Future of Israel (remnant theology) | Elijah | Medium |
| Romans 11:8 | Direct quotation | Deuteronomy 29:4; Isaiah 29:10 | The Future of Israel (partial hardening) | — | Medium |
| Romans 11:9–10 | Direct quotation | Psalm 69:22–23 | The Future of Israel (judicial hardening) | David | Low |
| Romans 11:26–27 | Direct quotation | Isaiah 59:20–21; Isaiah 27:9 | The Future of Israel; Messianic (“the Deliverer will come from Zion”) | Christ (the Deliverer) | Critical — the identity and timing of “all Israel will be saved” is among the most theologically contested and future-oriented claims in the letter; teaching notes must explicitly flag the interpretive options (ethnic Israel’s future conversion vs. the Church as true Israel) rather than let the twi translation silently decide the debate — reuse the transliterated Israel per glossary #67 and flag hermeneutical choice at point of teaching. |
| Romans 11:34–35 | Direct quotation | Isaiah 40:13; Job 41:11 | Election and Sovereignty of God (doxology, God’s unsearchable wisdom) | — | Low |
Chapter 12
| Romans Passage | Type | OT/NT Source | Theme(s) | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Romans 12:1–2 | Typological/cultic allusion | Leviticus 1 (whole burnt offering pattern) | Christian Living; Sanctification | — | High — shares thysia/afɔrebɔ risk profile (glossary #78); “living sacrifice” transfers OT cultic pattern to ethical self-offering; must be taught against literal-ritual misreading. |
| Romans 12:19 | Direct quotation | Deuteronomy 32:35 | Christian Living; God’s vengeance vs. personal retaliation | — | Medium |
| Romans 12:20 | Direct quotation | Proverbs 25:21–22 | Christian Living and Unity | — | Low |
Chapter 13
| Romans Passage | Type | OT/NT Source | Theme(s) | Character | Sensitivity |

| Romans 13:9b | Allusion | Leviticus 19:18 (“love your neighbor as yourself” — quoted fully) | Christian Living and Unity; Law and Its Purpose | — | Medium — this precise citation (Leviticus 19:18) recurs in Galatians 5:14 and Matthew 22:39/Mark 12:31; see §5 rule R-5. |
Chapter 14
| Romans Passage | Type | OT/NT Source | Theme(s) | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Romans 14:11 | Direct quotation | Isaiah 45:23 | Christian Living and Unity; final judgment; every knee bows | Christ (implicitly, cf. Philippians 2:10–11) | High — this Isaiah text is applied to YHWH in its OT context and to Christ in Pauline usage; strong implicit high Christology — must be flagged, not smoothed over, since it bears on the divinity-of-Christ teaching embedded in the doctrine set. |
Chapter 15
| Romans Passage | Type | OT/NT Source | Theme(s) | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Romans 15:3 | Direct quotation | Psalm 69:9 | Christ’s example; Union with Christ | Christ (speaker in the Psalm, Pauline reading) | Medium |
| Romans 15:9 | Direct quotation | Psalm 18:49 / 2 Samuel 22:50 | Christian Living and Unity; Gentile inclusion | David | Low |
| Romans 15:10 | Direct quotation | Deuteronomy 32:43 | Christian Living and Unity; Gentile inclusion | — | Low |
| Romans 15:11 | Direct quotation | Psalm 117:1 | Christian Living and Unity; universal praise | — | Low |
| Romans 15:12 | Direct quotation | Isaiah 11:10 | The Future of Israel; Messianic (“root of Jesse”) | Jesse, Christ (the Root/Shoot) | High — direct messianic-Davidic prophecy; connects back to Romans 1:3 (seed of David) forming a bracket around the whole doctrinal body of the letter — flag this literary inclusio explicitly for teaching. |
| Romans 15:21 | Direct quotation | Isaiah 52:15 | Gospel as Power of God for Salvation; mission to the unreached | — | Low |
Chapter 16
| Romans Passage | Type | OT/NT Source | Theme(s) | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Romans 16:19–20 (echo) | Allusion | Genesis 3:15 (serpent crushed) | Christian Living and Unity; cosmic conflict resolved | — | Medium — “God will soon crush Satan under your feet” evokes the protoevangelium; a genuine messianic/eschatological echo worth naming even though not a formal quotation. |
| (Remainder of Ch.16) | — | — | Christian Living and Unity in the Church | Phoebe, Priscilla, Aquila, et al. | Chapter reviewed; no further OT citations; primary contribution is the relational/ecclesial vocabulary already captured in the glossary (#90–95). |
2. Messianic References — Summary Table
| Reference | Nature | Twi-Sensitive Note |
|---|
| Romans 1:3–4 | Davidic descent + resurrection declaration | See Ch.1 table above; guard against adoptionist misreading. |
| Romans 3:25 | Christ as hilastērion (mercy seat/propitiation), fulfilling Leviticus 16 | Anchors mpata, Critical. |
| Romans 5:14 | Adam as typos of Christ | New typological term su/nsɛso to be added to future glossary revisions. |
| Romans 8:34 | Christ interceding, echoing Isaiah 50:8–9 (Servant) | Reinforces forensic-acquittal picture. |
| Romans 9:33 / 10:11 | Christ as the “stone” of Isaiah 28:16/8:14 | Identical twi rendering required at both occurrences (R-3). |
| Romans 10:16 | Christ as Isaiah 53’s Suffering Servant, rejected | Seam-point for a future Isaiah curriculum. |
| Romans 11:26 | ”The Deliverer will come from Zion” (Isaiah 59:20–21) | Bound up with the Future-of-Israel hermeneutical flag. |
| Romans 14:11 | Isaiah 45:23 (YHWH-text) applied in a Christ-ward frame in Pauline theology | High implicit Christology; must not be flattened. |
| Romans 15:12 | Isaiah 11:10, “root of Jesse” | Forms literary inclusio with Romans 1:3; both must use consistent Davidic-descent vocabulary. |
3. Typology Summary
| Type/Antitype | Romans Location | OT Base | Doctrine Served | Notes |
|---|
| Adam / Christ | Romans 5:12–21 (explicit at 5:14) | Genesis 2–3 | Original Sin; Union with Christ | Highest-risk typology in the book for Akan audiences — no native single-ancestor-corruption concept; must be explicitly taught as biblical typology, not assumed. |
| Abraham / all who believe | Romans 4 | Genesis 15; 17 | Justification by Faith | Abraham functions as the paradigm believer, both for Jews and Gentiles — a deliberately trans-ethnic typology, important to hold together with Ch.9–11’s Israel material. |
| Isaac (child of promise) / children of promise | Romans 9:7–9 | Genesis 17; 18; 21 | Election and Sovereignty of God | Distinguishes physical descent from promise-based reckoning — critical groundwork for the Israel discussion. |
| The mercy seat (hilastērion) / Christ | Romans 3:25 | Leviticus 16 | Grace and Salvation by Faith Alone | See mpata Critical flag. |
| The potter and the clay / God and humanity | Romans 9:20–21 | Isaiah 29:16; 45:9; (cf. Jeremiah 18:6) | Election and Sovereignty of God | Low risk; genuine cultural bridge via Akan pottery craft. |
| The wild/cultivated olive branches / Jew and Gentile in the people of God | Romans 11:17–24 | (agricultural image, not a specific OT type) | The Future of Israel | Strong cultural resonance (grafting is practiced in Ghanaian agriculture); must retain the warning-note (11:20–22) against Gentile presumption, not only the inclusion comfort. |
| The living sacrifice / OT whole burnt offering | Romans 12:1 | Leviticus 1 | Christian Living and Unity; Sanctification | Shares afɔrebɔ High risk; see Ch.12 note above. |
4. Parallels to Other Curricula in This Language (Forward-Looking Notes)
Since twi has no prior Language Package, Romans is establishing the baseline that the next twi curricula — most likely Galatians (given its doctrinal overlap: justification, law, Abraham, faith) — will inherit. The following overlaps are flagged now so that when a Galatians (or other Pauline) twi curriculum is built, it reuses rather than re-derives these renderings:
- Habakkuk 2:4 — quoted in Romans 1:17 and (in the wider canon) Galatians 3:11 and Hebrews 10:38. Twi rendering of “the righteous shall live by faith” must be identical in all three when those curricula are produced.
- Genesis 15:6 — quoted in Romans 4:3 and (in the wider canon) Galatians 3:6 and James 2:23. Twi rendering of “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness” (using gyee di for “believed” and bu…sɛ for “counted/credited,” per glossary #46) must be identical across all three future curricula.
- Leviticus 18:5 — quoted in Romans 10:5 and Galatians 3:12. Twi rendering of “the one who does these things shall live by them” must be identical.
- Leviticus 19:18 — quoted in Romans 13:9 and Galatians 5:14 (and echoed in the Gospels). Twi rendering of “love your neighbor as yourself” (dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho, established Twi Bible idiom) must be identical across all future curricula using this verse.
- Genesis 25:23 / Malachi 1:2–3 (Jacob/Esau, election) — likely to recur in any future curriculum on election, sovereignty, or the Minor Prophets; the nkrabea-avoidance teaching note established here (see glossary #63–64) must be carried forward wherever this pairing is cited again.
- Isaiah 28:16 / 8:14 (the stumbling stone) — recurs in 1 Peter 2:6–8 in the wider canon; if a future twi 1 Peter curriculum is built, the stone/stumbling vocabulary established here must be reused.
5. Cross-Curriculum Rendering-Consistency Rules (Binding)
R-1. Habakkuk 2:4 as quoted at Romans 1:17: render ho de dikaios ek pisteōs zēsetai as ɔtreneeni de gyidi benya nkwa (“the righteous one will have life by faith”). This exact clause must be reused verbatim wherever this OT verse is quoted in any future twi Bible-book curriculum (Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38).
R-2. Genesis 15:6 as quoted at Romans 4:3 (and again 4:9, 4:22–23 within Romans): render as Abraham gyee Onyankopɔn dii, na wɔbuu no sɛ ɔtreneeni (“Abraham believed God, and he was counted/reckoned as righteous”). Must be reused identically at every future occurrence (Galatians 3:6; James 2:23) and at every internal Romans occurrence.
R-3. Isaiah 28:16/8:14 as quoted at both Romans 9:33 and Romans 10:11 must use one single, identical twi clause both times within this curriculum: obiara a ɔde ne ho to no so no, wɔrenni no anim aniwu (“whoever puts his trust in him will not be put to shame”). Any future 1 Peter curriculum quoting the same OT source (1 Peter 2:6) must reuse this clause.
R-4. Leviticus 18:5 as quoted at Romans 10:5: render as obi a ɔyɛ eyi no, ɔnam so benya nkwa (“the one who does this will live by it”). Reuse identically at Galatians 3:12 when produced.
R-5. Leviticus 19:18 as quoted at Romans 13:9: render as dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho (“love your neighbor as yourself”) — this is already the standard Twi Bible idiom and must not be re-translated; reuse at Galatians 5:14 and any Gospel curricula.
R-6. All divine-name occurrences within OT quotations (YHWH in the Hebrew source) are rendered Awurade consistently with the baseline in 07_semantic_analysis.md §0.3, regardless of which English version’s capitalization convention (“LORD” vs. “Lord”) a given source text uses.
R-7. Where a doctrinally Critical/High term from the glossary (e.g., bu bem, mpata, Bɔne, paw/nhyehyɛe) appears inside an OT quotation embedded in Romans, the glossary rendering governs — the quotation is not re-translated independently, to avoid two different Twi words for the same Greek/Hebrew concept appearing within one letter.
6. Chapters Confirmed Reviewed With No Additional New OT Citations
All sixteen chapters of Romans have been checked for OT quotations and allusions above. Chapter 6 is explicitly noted (§1) as contributing no direct OT citation, though its baptismal union-with-Christ imagery is flagged for future cross-referencing against Exodus/Red Sea typology should a twi Exodus curriculum be produced. No chapter has been silently omitted.
