Saints
святі in ordinary Ukrainian religious usage (Orthodox and Greek Catholic alike) refers to a formally canonized, venerated minority, not to ordinary living believers. Romans 1:7’s address to ‘all God’s beloved in Rome, called to be saints’ must be rendered so it is unmistakably corporate and inclusive of every believer, not the venerated few.
