Romans 6

• Doctrine

  Christian Identity in Christ

  Identity located in union with Christ, not in any one confessional jurisdiction (OCU, UOC, Greek Catholic, or Protestant) or in national identity itself, however important the latter legitimately is in the current context.

  ROM.6.1-11

• Doctrine

  Grace

  CRITICAL: three living traditions hold three distinct theological accounts of grace (Orthodox uncreated energies, Greek Catholic Western-influenced created/infused grace, Protestant unmerited forensic favor).

  ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  CRITICAL: благодать is correct across all three major Ukrainian Christian traditions, but each understands it differently: Orthodox theology (OCU and UOC alike) follows Palamite uncreated-energies theology; Greek Catholic theology, in communion with Rome, has historically leaned toward the Western scholastic category of created, infused grace; Protestant/Evangelical usage (the primary frame for this curriculum) means unmerited favor apart from works.

  ROM.6.1, ROM.6.14-15

• Glossary Term

  Holy

  святий is the only viable term and is deeply established across Orthodox, Greek Catholic, and Protestant usage alike.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

  воскресіння is unambiguous and central to Ukrainian religious and cultural identity (Великдень/Easter, including its distinctive folk customs like pysanky, is the paramount feast across all Ukrainian Christian traditions).

  ROM.6.4-5

• Doctrine

  Resurrection of Christ

  Central to Ukrainian religious and cultural identity (Великдень/Easter, with its distinctive folk customs, is the paramount feast across all traditions).

  ROM.6.4-5

• Doctrine

  Sanctification

  CRITICAL: both Orthodox and Greek Catholic traditions closely link sanctification to theosis (обоження) through sacramental participation, and the same word освячення is the everyday term for the ritual blessing of objects and Easter baskets (свячення паски), a beloved and highly visible folk practice.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Glossary Term

  Sanctification

  CRITICAL: освячення is correct, but both the Orthodox and Greek Catholic traditions closely link sanctification to обоження (theosis/deification) through sacramental participation, and additionally освячення is the everyday word for the blessing/consecration of objects, homes, and Easter baskets (свячення паски) — a beloved and highly visible Ukrainian folk-religious practice.

  ROM.6.19, ROM.6.22

• Doctrine

  Separation unto God's Service

  Must not be read as a call to formal monasticism, a real and historically significant path in both the Orthodox and Greek Catholic traditions (including Ukraine's own distinctive monastic heritage centered on the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra).
