Romans 9
-
Glossary Term
Abba
Aramaic term of intimacy preserved untranslated in the Ohienko text of Romans 8:15 itself ('Авва, Отче!'), so this Language Package simply follows established Bible usage.
ROM.9.4
-
Glossary Term
Adoption
усиновлення is the standard legal/family term.
ROM.9.4
-
Doctrine
Adoption into God's Family
Full son-status with complete inheritance rights must be stressed explicitly; the large number of Ukrainian children orphaned or displaced by the ongoing war gives this doctrine acute, current emotional weight beyond its usual pastoral significance.
ROM.9.4
-
Glossary Term
Called
Context-sensitive: in 1:1 = called to apostleship; in 1:7 = called to be saints; in 8:28-30 = effectual calling to salvation.
ROM.9.11-12
-
Glossary Term
Calling
Noun form; покликання also carries the modern secular sense of 'vocation' (finding one's calling in life/career), which is a helpful bridge concept for readers but must be anchored explicitly to God's initiative in Romans rather than left as generic self-actualization language.
ROM.9.11-12
-
Glossary Term
Covenant
завіт is the deeply established term (it names the two Testaments themselves: Старий/Новий Завіт).
ROM.9.5
-
Glossary Term
David
Ohienko translation standard proper name form.
ROM.9.5
-
Doctrine
Davidic Covenant
Requires OT narrative background explanation for readers whose primary Bible exposure has been liturgical excerpts (Psalter, Gospel/Epistle lectionary readings) rather than continuous OT narrative reading, a pattern common across the region's liturgical traditions.
ROM.9.5
-
Doctrine
Deity of Christ
Shared, settled Nicene-creed confession across Orthodox, Greek Catholic, and Protestant traditions alike; risk is precision of expression, not defense against a rival theological framework.
ROM.9.5
-
Doctrine
Divine Calling
God's personal, relational call must be distinguished from доля/фатум (fate), strong currents in Ukrainian folk fatalism intensified by wartime discourse about survival and chance, and from the secular modern sense of покликання as career vocation, which should be treated as a helpful bridge concept rather than a full equivalent.
ROM.9.11-12
-
Doctrine
Effectual Calling
God's sovereign call that ensures the salvation of the called must be kept distinct from доля/фатум (fate/doom), a strong current in Ukrainian folk and literary fatalism intensified by wartime discourse, and introduced carefully given that Reformed predestination categories have no developed parallel in Orthodox or Greek Catholic soteriology.
ROM.9.11-12
-
Glossary Term
Election
God's sovereign personal choice.
ROM.9.11-12
-
Glossary Term
Father
Отець (capitalized) for God as Father is standard and doctrinally clear across traditions (paired with Батько in less formal register).
ROM.9.4
-
Glossary Term
Glory
слава is standard, but is also the first word of the widely used national and patriotic greeting 'Слава Україні' ('Glory to Ukraine'), especially prominent since 2014 and further since 2022.
ROM.9.5
-
Glossary Term
God
Бог is the standard, universally recognized term across all Ukrainian Christian traditions and secular usage alike; no competing polytheistic default sense exists.
ROM.9.5
-
Glossary Term
Messiah
Месія is transliterated and used alongside Христос (Christ), which functions as Jesus' effective surname in everyday Ukrainian as in related languages.
ROM.9.5
-
Doctrine
Messianic Promise
Христос functions as Jesus' effective surname in everyday Ukrainian, and the original 'Anointed One' / promise-fulfillment sense has worn smooth through overuse; the curriculum should explicitly re-surface the title's Jewish messianic-fulfillment meaning.
ROM.9.5
-
Glossary Term
Seed Of David
Romans 1:3; the Ohienko translation's phrasing 'з насіння Давидового' is the recognized Bible-register form.
