Core Glossary

Core Glossary — Titus (English–Ukrainian)

This glossary consolidates every load-bearing theological term identified in 07_semantic_analysis.md, organized by chapter of first occurrence. Terms already established in the baseline Romans/Galatians translation_memory.json are marked [BASELINE REUSE] and carry their baseline risk tier and rendering unchanged, per the hard rule that established renderings must be reused exactly. New terms introduced by Titus are marked [NEW] with a freshly assigned risk tier. This file must be loaded into translation_memory.json (as new entries, version-incremented) before any Phase 2 Titus segment is translated.

Risk Tier Legend

Critical: Mandatory human theologian review for every occurrence.
High: Mandatory human theologian review.
Medium: Native speaker review recommended.
Low: Automated review sufficient.

servant/slave of God	δοῦλος θεοῦ	раб Божий / слуга Божий	rab Bozhyy / sluha Bozhyy	Medium	[NEW]	Positive paradox of total belonging to God; historical рабство resonance requires framing as voluntary devotion, not degradation.

godliness	εὐσέβεια	благочестя	blahochestya	High	[NEW]	Risk of narrowing to ritual piety (fasting, crossing oneself) rather than Paul’s holistic total-life orientation; must be explicitly taught as more than observance.

THE Central Doctrinal Term Cluster: “Good/Righteous Works” (ἔργα / καλῶν ἔργων / ἀγαθῶν ἔργων)

Term (English)	Greek	Ukrainian Rendering	Transliteration	Risk	Status	Notes
works [rejected as basis of salvation]	ἔργων τῶν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ	діла праведності (в негативному, відкинутому сенсі)	dila pravednosti	Critical	[NEW]	Titus 3:5’s explicit exclusion of self-produced righteous deeds as salvation’s ground — distinct from, but functioning identically to, the baseline’s діла закону (Works of the Law, Galatians, also Critical).
good works [commended as necessary fruit]	καλῶν/ἀγαθῶν ἔργων	добрі діла	dobri dila	Critical	[NEW]	Recurs at 1:16; 2:7,14; 3:1,8,14 — the letter’s dominant positive refrain. This term and the preceding one form a single doctrinal unit that must always be taught together: works are excluded as salvation’s basis (3:5) yet commanded as its necessary, expected fruit (throughout). Collapsing this tension in either direction (works-righteousness vs. antinomianism) corrupts both “Salvation by Grace not Works” and “Sound Doctrine and Good Works.” Human theologian review mandatory for every occurrence of either half of this pair.

Chapter 3 Terms (3:9–15, beyond the core passage)

Term (English)	Greek	Ukrainian Rendering	Transliteration	Risk	Status	Notes

avoid/shun	περιΐστημι	уникай	unykay	Medium	[NEW]	Active avoidance, not passive tolerance.
unprofitable and worthless	ἀνωφελεῖς καὶ μάταιοι	некорисні та марні	nekorysni ta marni	Low-Medium	[NEW]	Deliberate contrast with 3:8’s ὠφέλιμα.
a divisive/factious person	αἱρετικὸν ἄνθρωπον	людина, яка спричиняє розбрат (recommended) / розкольник, єретик (avoid or use only with explicit disclaiming footnote)	lyudyna, yaka sprychynyaye rozbrat / rozkol’nyk / yeretyk	Critical	[NEW]	Acutely live risk: розкольник is the precise term for Ukraine’s real, ongoing 1992/2018-19 church-schism and OCU/UOC canonicity disputes; єретик imports baseline’s anathema-level weight. Neither should be used without an explicit note that Paul’s usage describes a locally disruptive individual, not any Ukrainian ecclesiastical jurisdiction. Human theologian review mandatory for every occurrence.
reject/have nothing to do with	παραιτέομαι	відкидай / цурайся	vidkyday / tsuraysya	Medium	[NEW]	—
after a first and second warning	μετὰ μίαν καὶ δευτέραν νουθεσίαν	після першого й другого попередження	pislya pershoho y druhoho poperedzhennya	Medium-High	[NEW]	Graduated, patient-restoration process must be taught explicitly, not summary-exclusion.

unfruitful	ἄκαρποι	безплідні	bezplidni	Low-Medium	[NEW]	Echoes established плід (fruit, Galatians TM); antonym here.
for necessary/urgent needs	εἰς τὰς ἀναγκαίας χρείας	для конечних потреб	dlya konechnykh potreb	Medium	[NEW]	Positive contemporary resonance with wartime church relief work; application asset, not risk.
grace be with you all	χάρις μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν	благодать з усіма вами	blahodat’ z usima vamy	Critical	[BASELINE REUSE]	Closing benediction; consistent with letter’s opening and core-passage grace-inclusio.

Total new terms requiring mandatory human theologian review (Critical + High): 26, in addition to every baseline-reused Critical/High term recurring in this book (благодать, виправдання, спасіння, слава, віра, праведність, обітниця, мир, любов — all inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline).

Critical Risk Terms

Grace

Approved rendering: благодать
Transliteration: blahodat’
Doctrine: Grace
Rejected alternatives: милість, талан, щастя
Original: χάρις
Category: Salvation

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Titus 2:11-12 sharpens the baseline’s three-traditions caution by personifying благодать as an actively forming agent (παιδεύω, ‘trains’) rather than a static gift; Titus 3:5,7 additionally requires благодать to be held textually distinct from the newly introduced companion term милість (mercy, ἔλεος) within a two-verse span. See saving_grace_adj, trains_disciplines, mercy, grace_benediction_closing below.

Justification

Approved rendering: виправдання
Transliteration: vypravdannya
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: прощення гріхів, оправдання (Russian-influenced spelling, avoid)
Original: δικαιωθέντες (δικαιόω)
Category: Salvation

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Must retain the Ukrainian-specific Ohienko spelling виправдання; never the Russicism оправдання. Titus 3:5-7’s dense clustering of ἔλεος, λουτρόν, παλιγγενεσία, χάρις, and δικαιόω in three verses makes explicit theological teaching of this term especially urgent here, since no developed Orthodox/Greek Catholic forensic-declaration parallel exists.

Salvation

Approved rendering: спасіння
Transliteration: spasinnya
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: визволення, рятування (too generic, ‘rescue’)
Original: σωτηρία / ἔσωσεν (σῴζω)
Category: Salvation

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Titus 3:5’s aorist ἔσωσεν (‘he saved us’) must be anchored to the same completed, historical divine act the baseline requires (Romans 10:9-10), especially urgent here since the immediately following λουτρόν/παλιγγενεσία phrase is precisely where the three living Ukrainian traditions’ soteriological systems diverge most sharply.

Holy Spirit

Approved rendering: Святий Дух
Transliteration: Svyatyy Dukh
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: дух (never use alone), енергія
Original: πνεῦμα ἅγιον
Category: God

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Titus 3:5-6 places Святий Дух in the letter’s densest theological cluster (mercy, washing, regeneration, renewal, grace, justification in three verses); 3:6’s ἐξέχεεν (‘poured out’) echoes Pentecost (Joel 2/Acts 2), a cross-reference that should be supplied explicitly since it is not self-evident without that background. Never render дух alone.

Church

Approved rendering: церква
Transliteration: tserkva
Doctrine: Church as God’s People
Rejected alternatives: храм, громада (acceptable for local congregation emphasis)

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Titus does not use ἐκκλησία directly in the material treated by this curriculum, but the doctrine is unavoidably in play the moment local church leadership offices are discussed (1:5-9); церква must be framed as the local congregation of believers being organized, never any one of the OCU/UOC/UGCC jurisdictional bodies whose contemporary offices bear surface resemblance to πρεσβύτερος/ἐπίσκοπος. See elder and overseer below.

Overseer

Approved rendering: наглядач (визнано) / єпископ (лише з приміткою про історичний розвиток)
Transliteration: nahlyadach / yepyskop
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Rejected alternatives: єпископ без застереження (imports the entire contemporary OCU/UOC/UGCC hierarchical and jurisdictional apparatus onto Paul’s local, non-hierarchical 1st-century office)
Original: ἐπίσκοπος
Category: Ministry

New term, Titus 1:7. The single largest translation decision-point in the entire book. The reflexive rendering ‘єпископ’ names a senior, hierarchical office at the very center of the OCU/UOC/UGCC jurisdictional landscape already flagged Critical under church in the baseline. Recommended: наглядач (overseer, watching-care function), reserving єпископ only with an explicit historical-development footnote. Mandatory human theologian review for every occurrence.

Saving Grace Adj

Approved rendering: спасительна
Transliteration: spasytel’na
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: добра/лагідна (too generic, loses specific salvific force)
Original: σωτήριος
Category: Salvation

New term, σωτήριος, modifying благодать in Titus 2:11 — specifically saving grace, connecting directly to the established спасіння word-family. Must not be flattened to a generic ‘good’ or ‘kind’ grace.

Great God And Savior

Approved rendering: великого Бога і Спасителя нашого, Ісуса Христа
Transliteration: velykoho Boha i Spasytelya nashoho, Isusa Khrysta
Doctrine: Deity of Christ / The Shared Savior Title
Rejected alternatives: великого Бога, і Спасителя нашого Ісуса Христа (any word order or punctuation introducing a two-persons misreading)
Original: τοῦ μεγάλου θεοῦ καὶ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
Category: Christology

New term, τοῦ μεγάλου θεοῦ καὶ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, Titus 2:13. The Greek’s single-article (Granville Sharp) construction grammatically identifies Jesus Christ himself as ‘our great God and Savior’ — one of the clearest single-verse affirmations of Christ’s full deity in the New Testament. Ukrainian word order and case-marking must not introduce ambiguity suggesting two persons. Mandatory human theologian review for every occurrence.

Savior Title

Approved rendering: Спаситель
Transliteration: Spasytel’
Doctrine: Deity of Christ / The Shared Savior Title
Original: σωτήρ
Category: Christology

New standalone term, σωτήρ, Titus’s single most repeated theological title (1:3, 1:4, 2:10, 2:13, 3:4, 3:6), applied to both God the Father and Jesus Christ. Established and uncontested across all three Ukrainian Christian traditions; the risk is structural, not lexical — render with absolute consistency across all six occurrences so the reader can trace Paul’s deliberate Christological argument.

Redeem

Approved rendering: викупити
Transliteration: vykupyty
Doctrine: Redemption and Purification
Original: λυτρώσηται (λυτρόομαι)
Category: Salvation

New term, λυτρώσηται (λυτρόομαι), Titus 2:14. No baseline precedent. Ukrainian викупити carries strong, positively usable resonance in Ukrainian historical memory with ransoming captives from Tatar/Ottoman slave raids (‘викуп із неволі,’ a Cossack-era folk-song theme) — a genuine cultural asset. Must be kept distinct from спасіння (the broader result), since λυτρόομαι names the specific transactional/liberating mechanism.

Rulers And Authorities

Approved rendering: владам і начальствам
Transliteration: vladam i nachal’stvam
Doctrine: Submission to Authority
Original: ἀρχαῖς καὶ ἐξουσίαις
Category: Ethics

New term, ἀρχαῖς καὶ ἐξουσίαις, Titus 3:1. Inherits and intensifies the baseline’s Romans 13 wartime-sensitivity flag, escalated from native-speaker to mandatory human theologian review, given martial law, mobilization/draft controversies, occupation-zone realities, and the live tension over Ukrainian church bodies’ relationships to state authority. Readers could wrongly conflate ‘do not be divisive toward church leaders’ (ch.1, 3:9-11) with ‘do not resist civil authorities’ (3:1-2) — a distinction the text itself preserves and translation must not flatten.

Washing Of Regeneration

Approved rendering: купіль / омивання
Transliteration: kupil’ / omyvannya
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Original: διὰ λουτροῦ παλιγγενεσίας
Category: Salvation

New term, λουτρόν, within διὰ λουτροῦ παλιγγενεσίας, Titus 3:5. Sits directly at the fault line between the three traditions’ baptismal theologies: sacramental-effecting (Orthodox/Greek Catholic) vs. Spirit-effected/symbol-subsequent (Protestant/Evangelical). Must be stated explicitly, not silently resolved toward either framework, exactly as the baseline instructs for grace and sanctification generally.

Regeneration

Approved rendering: відродження
Transliteration: vidrodzhennya
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Rejected alternatives: occurrence left unglossed (risks collapse into the national/cultural revival sense)
Original: παλιγγενεσία
Category: Salvation

New term, παλιγγενεσία, Titus 3:5. The direct scriptural term behind the curriculum doctrine ‘Regeneration by the Holy Spirit.’ Відродження is also the standard Ukrainian word for national/cultural rebirth or revival (19th-century Українське національне відродження; post-2014/2022 national-revival discourse) — structurally identical in risk shape to the Galatians baseline’s Critical-risk свобода/воля collision. Must never be silently collapsed into, or read as a metaphor for, Ukraine’s national revival. Human theologian review mandatory for every occurrence.

Good Works Commended

Approved rendering: добрі діла
Transliteration: dobri dila
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Original: καλῶν/ἀγαθῶν ἔργων (πρὸς πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθὸν, τύπος καλῶν ἔργων, ζηλωτὴν καλῶν ἔργων, φροντίζωσιν…προΐστασθαι, καλὰ καὶ ὠφέλιμα)
Category: Sanctification

New term, καλῶν/ἀγαθῶν ἔργων, recurring at 1:16 (negatively, ἀδόκιμοι), 2:7, 2:14, 3:1, 3:8, 3:14 — the letter’s dominant positive refrain. Must always be taught in explicit tension with works_rejected below: works are excluded as salvation’s basis (3:5) yet commanded throughout as its necessary, expected fruit. Collapsing this tension in either direction corrupts both Sound Doctrine and Good Works and Salvation by Grace not Works. Mandatory human theologian review for every occurrence of either half of this pair.

Works Rejected

Approved rendering: діла праведності, які ми вчинили
Transliteration: dila pravednosti, yaki my vchynyly
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: діла закону (this is a distinct, broader category than the Galatians-specific Torah-boundary-marker sense; do not silently equate the two)
Original: ἔργων τῶν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ ἃ ἐποιήσαμεν ἡμεῖς
Category: Salvation

New term, ἔργων τῶν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ ἃ ἐποιήσαμεν ἡμεῖς, Titus 3:5. The letter’s clearest single statement excluding human moral achievement as the ground of salvation. Functions identically to, but is broader than, the baseline’s Galatians-specific діла закону. Must be taught alongside good_works_commended above as two halves of a single, deliberately maintained tension.

Divisive Person

Approved rendering: людина, яка спричиняє розбрат (визнано) / розкольник, єретик (уникати без явного застереження)
Transliteration: lyudyna, yaka sprychynyaye rozbrat / rozkol’nyk / yeretyk
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Rejected alternatives: розкольник without a disclaiming note (collides directly with the live, contested 1992/2018-19 Ukrainian church-schism and OCU/UOC canonicity discourse), єретик without a disclaiming note (imports the baseline’s anathema-adjacent, formal-heresy weight)
Original: αἱρετικὸν ἄνθρωπον
Category: Church

New term, αἱρετικὸν ἄνθρωπον, Titus 3:10. One of the most acutely Ukraine-specific collision points in the whole letter. Neither loaded noun should be used without an explicit note that Paul’s usage describes a locally disruptive individual, not any Ukrainian ecclesiastical jurisdiction dispute. Mandatory human theologian review for every occurrence.

Grace Benediction Closing

Approved rendering: благодать з усіма вами
Transliteration: blahodat’ z usima vamy
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living

New occurrence of the established баseline благодать (Critical, unchanged), Titus 3:15. Standard Pauline closing benediction; render consistently with the letter’s opening (1:4) and the core passage’s repeated χάρις occurrences, closing the letter’s grace-inclusio.

High Risk Terms

Faith

Approved rendering: віра
Transliteration: vira
Doctrine: Faith
Rejected alternatives: довіра, переконання
Original: πίστις
Category: Faith

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Titus adds a translation-sensitive complication: 2:10’s πίστιν ἐνδεικνυμένους ἀγαθήν (‘showing all good faith[fulness]’) uses πίστις in the sense of demonstrated trustworthy conduct, not saving faith; this distinct sense must be disambiguated from вipa’s normal sense on first Titus occurrence, per bible_term_registry.json’s faith entry, or 2:10 risks being misread as a works-based salvation qualification.

Righteousness

Approved rendering: праведність
Transliteration: pravednist’
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: справедливість, чесність
Original: δικαιοσύνη / δίκαιος / δικαίως
Category: Salvation

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Titus requires the adjective праведний (1:8, elder qualification) and adverb праведно (2:12, grace-trained conduct) to be held in explicit tension with 3:5’s rejection of ‘works done in праведність’ as salvation’s basis — the same word names both the excluded ground and the expected fruit, and this tension must be taught, never quietly resolved by softening either occurrence.

Peace

Approved rendering: мир
Transliteration: myr
Doctrine: Peace with God
Rejected alternatives: спокій, затишшя

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Appears in Titus 1:4’s opening greeting (‘Grace and peace’). Must remain disambiguated on first occurrence from мирський (‘worldly,’ 2:12) and мирний (‘peaceable,’ 3:2), two derived-root senses this letter also activates — see worldly_desires and peaceable_and_gentle below.

Love

Approved rendering: любов
Transliteration: lyubov
Doctrine: Faith Working through Love

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Background vocabulary for Titus’s household-virtue clusters (φιλάνδρους, ‘husband-loving,’ 2:4) and φιλανθρωπία (God’s love for mankind, 3:4); see love_for_mankind below for the term’s distinct compound-noun treatment.

Sin

Approved rendering: гріх
Transliteration: hrikh
Doctrine: Universal Human Accountability
Rejected alternatives: помилка, провина

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Titus 3:3’s autobiographical ‘we too once were’ extends the baseline’s caution that гріх must include the reader personally, not narrow to only an external aggressor’s conduct in wartime moral discourse. Keep гріх distinct from the newly introduced ἀνομία/беззаконня (lawlessness) — see lawlessness below.

Promise

Approved rendering: обітниця
Transliteration: obitnytsya
Doctrine: The Abrahamic Covenant and Promise
Original: ἐπαγγελία (verb ἐπαγγέλλομαι)
Category: Covenant

Inherited unchanged from the Galatians extension of the baseline package. Titus 1:2 grounds the promise explicitly in ἀψευδὴς θεός (‘the God who does not lie,’ see god_who_cannot_lie below) — this causal link (promise reliability grounded in God’s own truthful character) should be drawn out in exposition rather than left implicit.

Lord

Approved rendering: Господь
Transliteration: Hospod’
Doctrine: Lordship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: хазяїн, владика (reserve for liturgical/poetic register only)

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Titus’s dominant Christological title is Спаситель (Savior), not Господь; this term remains available background vocabulary for exposition but does not carry the letter’s primary Christological weight — see savior_title below.

Election

Approved rendering: обрання
Transliteration: obrannya
Doctrine: Effectual Calling
Rejected alternatives: доля, фатум, приречення (use only with careful qualification)
Original: implicit background to λαὸν περιούσιον, 2:14
Category: Salvation

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Implicit background to Titus 2:14’s λαὸν περιούσιον (‘a people for his own possession’) — see people_for_possession below. Exposition should keep the emphasis on covenant belonging, not the mechanics of individual election, to avoid importing the baseline’s separate Reformed-predestination caution where Titus does not require it.

Godliness

Approved rendering: благочестя / благочесно
Transliteration: blahochestya / blahochesno
Doctrine: Godliness and Sound Speech
Rejected alternatives: ритуальна набожність (too narrow, ritual-only reading)
Original: εὐσέβεια / εὐσεβῶς
Category: Sanctification

New term, Titus 1:1 (noun εὐσέβεια) and 2:12 (adverb εὐσεβῶς). Both Orthodox and Greek Catholic usage closely associate благочестя with visible ritual piety (fasting, crossing oneself, feast-day observance) — real but narrower than Paul’s holistic total-life orientation encompassing ethics, speech, and household conduct. Must be explicitly taught as more than ritual observance, echoing the baseline’s parallel caution against освячення collapsing into свячення паски.

Elder

Approved rendering: пресвітер / старший
Transliteration: presviter / starshyy
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Rejected alternatives: єпископ used as a default synonym without disambiguation (see overseer entry)
Original: πρεσβύτερος
Category: Ministry

New term, Titus 1:5. Recommend пресвітер, already familiar in Ukrainian Protestant/Evangelical usage (Baptist, Pentecostal congregations), over more hierarchically loaded alternatives. Must be treated as identical to the office named ἐπίσκοπος in 1:7, since Paul moves seamlessly between the two Greek terms for a single office — see overseer below.

Self Controlled Family

Approved rendering: розсудливий / стриманий / розсудливо / наставляти на розсудливість
Transliteration: rozsudlyvyy / strymanyy / rozsudlyvo / nastavlyaty na rozsudlyvist’
Doctrine: Godliness and Sound Speech
Original: σώφρων / σωφροσύνη / σωφρόνως / σωφρονίζω / ἐγκρατής
Category: Sanctification

New term family (σωφρόνως/σωφροσύνη/σωφρονίζω/ἐγκρατής), recurring at 1:8; 2:2,4,5,6,12 — a structural refrain across the whole letter. No single Ukrainian word covers σωφροσύνη’s blend of sound-mindedness, self-mastery, and moderation. Must be rendered with a consistent, traceable Ukrainian vocabulary set across all six occurrences, not varied freely for stylistic reasons.

Sound Doctrine

Approved rendering: здорове вчення
Transliteration: zdorove vchennya
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Original: ὑγιαίνουσα διδασκαλία
Category: Doctrine

New term, ὑγιαίνουσα διδασκαλία, the letter’s central governing metaphor for correct doctrine (1:9, 13; 2:1, 2, 8). The health/soundness metaphor is well-preserved lexically (здоров’я is a common, vivid Ukrainian concept), but its cumulative, structural force across five occurrences is easy to lose if each is translated in isolation; draw it out explicitly in exposition.

Submit Be Subject

Approved rendering: підкорятися / коритися
Transliteration: pidkoryatysya / korytysya
Doctrine: Submission to Authority
Rejected alternatives: примусова покора (coerced-servility reading, must be avoided)
Original: ὑποτάσσω (ὑποτασσομένας τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν, 2:5; ὑποτάσσεσθαι, 3:1)
Category: Ethics

New term, ὑποτάσσω, applied both to 2:5 (wives) and 3:1 (civil rulers). Must be taught as voluntary, ordered submission for the sake of good gospel witness, not coerced servility. Given the live, contested question of Ukrainian church bodies’ submission to or resistance against various civil and ecclesiastical authorities, both applications require careful, separately exposited framing despite the identical verb.

Word Of God Reviled

Approved rendering: щоб слово Боже не було зневажене
Transliteration: shchob slovo Bozhe ne bulo znevazhene
Doctrine: Household Order and Gospel Witness
Original: ἵνα μὴ ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ βλασφημῆται
Category: Doctrine

New term/sense, Titus 2:5. The missional motive underlying the household instructions; distinct from the interpersonal-slander sense of the same verb (βλασφημέω) at 3:2 — disambiguate explicitly. Must be taught as a missional concern for gospel credibility, not mere social conformity.

Adorn The Doctrine

Approved rendering: прикрашати вчення
Transliteration: prykrashaty vchennya
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Original: ἵνα τὴν διδασκαλίαν…κοσμῶσιν
Category: Doctrine

New term, κοσμῶσιν τὴν διδασκαλίαν, Titus 2:10. A key missional/apologetic concept connecting the household code to the letter’s larger argument; good works function as visible, attractive adornment of true doctrine before a watching, and in wartime especially observant, society — must not be treated as a minor incidental verb.

Appeared Appearing

Approved rendering: з’явилася / явлення
Transliteration: z’yavylasya / yavlennya
Doctrine: Blessed Hope and the Second Coming
Original: ἐπιφαίνω / ἐπιφάνεια
Category: Christology

New term, ἐπιφαίνω/ἐπιφάνεια, occurring at 2:11 (grace’s past appearing), 2:13 (glory’s future appearing), and 3:4 (kindness’s appearing). The noun is the direct root of Богоявлення, the Theophany feast (Jan. 6/19) commemorating Christ’s baptism in both the OCU/UOC and UGCC liturgical calendars; each of the three Titus occurrences must be individually glossed as distinct from that past liturgical event.

Trains Disciplines

Approved rendering: виховує
Transliteration: vykhovuye
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: карає / дисциплінує (punitive connotation, avoid)
Original: παιδεύουσα (παιδεύω)
Category: Sanctification

New term, παιδεύουσα, Titus 2:12 — the verb behind the curriculum doctrine title. Must be taught as warm, parental formation (from виховання, the ordinary word for raising a child) rather than punitive discipline, while retaining the sense that this training is active and ongoing, not passive.

Gave Himself For Us

Approved rendering: віддав Себе за нас
Transliteration: viddav Sebe za nas
Doctrine: Redemption and Purification
Rejected alternatives: помер за нас (loses the personal, voluntary self-giving emphasis)

New term, ἔδωκεν ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, Titus 2:14. Keep the personal, voluntary self-giving explicit, not merely ‘died.‘

People For Possession

Approved rendering: народ, вибраний Йому у власність
Transliteration: narod, vybranyy Yomu u vlasnist’
Doctrine: Redemption and Purification
Original: λαὸν περιούσιον
Category: Covenant

New term, λαὸν περιούσιον, Titus 2:14, echoing Exodus 19:5’s covenant language about Israel. Handle with the same Unity-of-Jews-and-Gentiles-level care the baseline requires — this is covenant-continuity language (God’s people, not a replacement people); keep emphasis on belonging, not the mechanics of individual election (see election above).

With All Authority

Approved rendering: з усією владою
Transliteration: z usiyeyu vladoyu
Doctrine: Paul’s Apostolic Authority and Titus’s Derived Ministry
Original: μετὰ πάσης ἐπιταγῆς
Category: Ministry

New term, μετὰ πάσης ἐπιταγῆς, Titus 2:15. Legitimate spiritual teaching-authority for Titus’s ministry; must be kept distinct from the civil ἐξουσία of 3:1 (see rulers_and_authorities below) and from any specific contemporary Ukrainian ecclesiastical jurisdiction’s authority claim.

We Too Once Were

Approved rendering: бо й ми самі колись були
Transliteration: bo y my sami kolys’ buly
Doctrine: Universal Human Accountability
Original: Ἦμεν γάρ ποτε καὶ ἡμεῖς
Category: Sin

New term/phrase, Ἦμεν γάρ ποτε καὶ ἡμεῖς, Titus 3:3. Must be read as including the reader personally, not only ‘bad people’ or, in wartime moral discourse, only an external aggressor or enemy — the risk direction the baseline already flags as running opposite to more secularized contexts for гріх.

Enslaved To Desires And Pleasures

Approved rendering: у рабстві в пожадливостях і різних насолодах
Transliteration: u rabstvi v pozhadlyvostyakh i riznykh nasolodakh
Doctrine: Universal Human Accountability
Original: δουλεύοντες ἐπιθυμίαις καὶ ἡδοναῖς ποικίλαις
Category: Sin

New term, δουλεύοντες ἐπιθυμίαις καὶ ἡδοναῖς ποικίλαις, Titus 3:3. рабство carries heavy Ukrainian historical resonance (serfdom, wartime forced deportation/occupation experience) — a pastoral asset making the bondage-to-sin image vivid, but must remain clearly metaphorical-spiritual, not conflated with historical/political рабство referents elsewhere (cf. Galatians’ ярмо рабства, already High risk in the baseline).

Love For Mankind

Approved rendering: людинолюбство / милосердя до людей
Transliteration: lyudynolyubstvo / myloserdya do lyudey
Doctrine: God’s Love for Mankind (φιλανθρωπία)
Rejected alternatives: філантропія (forbidden — modern Ukrainian usage means specifically charitable donation/institutional philanthropy, a narrower, transactional, this-worldly sense)
Original: φιλανθρωπία
Category: God

New term, φιλανθρωπία, Titus 3:4. Describes God’s own saving disposition of active benevolence toward the human race, grounding his saving action. Never reduce to the modern secular loanword філантропія.

Mercy

Approved rendering: милість
Transliteration: mylist’
Doctrine: Mercy and Grace as Distinct, Companion Concepts
Rejected alternatives: благодать (distinct Greek word and concept — never substitute for or confuse with grace within this passage)
Original: κατὰ τὸ αὐτοῦ ἔλεος
Category: Salvation

New term, κατὰ τὸ αὐτοῦ ἔλεος, Titus 3:5. Important disambiguation: the baseline explicitly rejected милість as an alternative for χάρις/grace; here милість is the correct, proper term for the distinct Greek word ἔλεος (mercy toward the distressed, as opposed to grace’s unmerited favor toward the guilty). Titus 3:5 and 3:7 deploy both ἔλεος and χάρις within two verses; both must be rendered with their distinct, established terms. Note милість’s strong positive liturgical resonance from ‘Господи, помилуй’ (Kyrie eleison), repeated throughout every Divine Liturgy across the Orthodox and Greek Catholic traditions.

Heirs

Approved rendering: спадкоємці
Transliteration: spadkoyemtsi
Doctrine: Adoption and Heirship
Original: κληρονόμοι
Category: Salvation

New term, κληρονόμοι, Titus 3:7. Must be connected explicitly to the baseline’s Adoption doctrine (High risk, acute current emotional weight given the number of Ukrainian children orphaned or displaced by the war): names full, permanent inheritance rights, not provisional or lesser status.

Foolish Controversies

Approved rendering: нерозумні суперечки
Transliteration: nerozumni superechky
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Original: μωρὰς ζητήσεις (καὶ γενεαλογίας καὶ ἔρεις καὶ μάχας νομικάς)
Category: Doctrine

New term, μωρὰς ζητήσεις, Titus 3:9, the summary term for this doctrine. Must be taught with precision: Paul is not condemning all theological discussion or doctrinal precision (which the letter itself models extensively) but specifically unprofitable, speculative wrangling. Given real, legitimate inter/intra-tradition debate in Ukraine, must not be misused to suppress genuine theological engagement nor weaponized to dismiss a rival tradition’s convictions.

After First And Second Warning

Approved rendering: після першого й другого попередження
Transliteration: pislya pershoho y druhoho poperedzhennya
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Original: μετὰ μίαν καὶ δευτέραν νουθεσίαν παραιτοῦ
Category: Church

New term, μετὰ μίαν καὶ δευτέραν νουθεσίαν, Titus 3:10. This graduated, patient, restoration-aimed process must be taught explicitly as the letter’s actual pastoral model, not summary exclusion, given the acute sensitivity of ‘who gets excluded and on what authority’ questions in the current Ukrainian ecclesiastical landscape.

Medium Risk Terms

Apostle

Approved rendering: апостол
Transliteration: apostol
Doctrine: Apostleship
Rejected alternatives: посланець, проповідник
Original: ἀπόστολος
Category: Ministry

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Titus 1:1 opens the letter with Paul’s self-identification by this title; no new Titus-specific lexical risk, but see with_all_authority and pauls_apostolic_authority doctrine below for the derived-authority risk this office claim raises in the Ukrainian OCU/UOC/UGCC jurisdictional context.

Law

Approved rendering: закон
Transliteration: zakon
Doctrine: Fulfillment of Prophecy
Rejected alternatives: правило, заповідь (reserve for individual commandments)
Original: νόμος / νομικάς (μάχας νομικάς)
Category: Covenant

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Titus 3:9’s μάχας νομικάς (‘quarrels about the law’) names disputes over legal interpretation specifically, not a rejection of закон as such; keep consistent with, but distinct from, the letter’s other law-adjacent vocabulary (ἀνομία/lawlessness, νομικόν/lawyer) — see genealogies_strifes_quarrels and lawyer_and_send_off below.

Glory

Approved rendering: слава
Transliteration: slava
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: шана, велич
Original: δόξα (ἐπιφάνειαν τῆς δόξης)
Category: God

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Titus 2:13’s ‘the appearing of the glory’ (ἐπιφάνειαν τῆς δόξης) compounds the baseline’s ‘Слава Україні’ patriotic-resonance caution with the ἐπιφάνεια/Богоявлення (Theophany feast) collision risk — see appeared_appearing below. слава must remain the undiluted, future, divine referent in this verse.

God

Approved rendering: Бог
Transliteration: Boh
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: Всевишній (acceptable poetic synonym only)
Original: θεός
Category: God

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package (doctrine_risk retained at Medium exactly as recorded in the baseline TM). Titus’s distinctive contribution is naming God specifically ‘our Savior’ (1:3; 2:10; 3:4) in close proximity to the identical title applied to Christ (2:13; 1:4; 3:6); this six-fold pattern is tracked at Critical risk under the new savior_title and great_god_and_savior entries below, which carry the elevated risk this specific Titus usage requires without altering the baseline’s own Бог entry.

Jesus

Approved rendering: Ісус
Transliteration: Isus
Doctrine: Lordship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: Иисус (Russian spelling, never use)

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Titus 2:13’s great_god_and_savior construction (below) requires this exact spelling within a grammatically sensitive single-referent phrase; the forbidden-Russicism rule applies with undiminished force at every occurrence.

Father

Approved rendering: Отець
Transliteration: Otets’
Doctrine: Adoption into God’s Family
Rejected alternatives: батюшка (reserve exclusively for addressing an Orthodox priest, and is itself a Russicism increasingly avoided)

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Background term for ‘God our Father’ implicit in Titus 1:4’s greeting (‘God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior’); see heirs below for the adoption/inheritance doctrine this term underlies in Titus 3:7.

Fruit Of The Spirit

Approved rendering: плід Духа
Transliteration: plid Dukha
Doctrine: Fruit of the Spirit
Rejected alternatives: плоди Духа (avoid pluralizing; Greek is deliberately singular)

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Titus 3:14’s ἄκαρποι (‘unfruitful’) is the direct antonym-echo of this established term — see unfruitful below.

Servant Of God

Approved rendering: раб Божий / слуга Божий
Transliteration: rab Bozhyy / sluha Bozhyy
Doctrine: Paul’s Apostolic Authority and Titus’s Derived Ministry
Rejected alternatives: раб used without qualifier or exposition (risks reading as merely degrading rather than voluntary total devotion)
Original: δοῦλος θεοῦ
Category: Ministry

New term, Titus 1:1. δοῦλος θεοῦ carries the same historically loaded resonance flagged elsewhere in this analysis (serfdom, wartime рабство imagery); here the sense is positive and voluntary — total devotion to God as the highest freedom, echoing Romans 6’s ‘slaves of righteousness’ logic — and this positive paradox must be made explicit rather than left to read as merely degrading.

Truth

Approved rendering: правда / істина
Transliteration: pravda / istina
Doctrine: Proclamation of Truth versus Myths and Human Commandments
Original: ἀλήθεια
Category: Faith

New term, Titus 1:1, 1:14. Contrasted throughout the letter with μῦθοι (myths) and ἐντολαῖς ἀνθρώπων (commandments of men). Render consistently across the whole curriculum family for cross-document stability.

Proclamation Kerygma

Approved rendering: проповідь
Transliteration: propovid’
Doctrine: Proclamation of Truth versus Myths and Human Commandments

New term, Titus 1:3. κήρυγμα; the public, apostolic delivery of the gospel message.

Elder Qualifications Negative

Approved rendering: безвинний; муж однієї жінки; непокірні; самовпевнений; гнівливий; пияк; задерикуватий; корисливий
Transliteration: bezvynnyy; muzh odniyeyi zhinky; nepokirni; samovpevnenyy; hnivlyvyy; pyyak; zaderykuvatyy; koryslyvyy
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Original: ἀνέγκλητος, μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἀνήρ, ἀνυπότακτα (τέκνα), αὐθάδης, ὀργίλος, πάροινος, πλήκτης, αἰσχροκερδής
Category: Ministry

New term cluster, Titus 1:6-8 (disqualifying traits). ἀνυπότακτα shares its root with ὑποτάσσω (submit), linking this doctrine directly to Submission to Authority — make this connection explicit in exposition. μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἀνήρ requires brief exposition of its debated scope (married once vs. currently faithful), not a single fixed lexical choice.

Elder Qualifications Positive

Approved rendering: гостинний; той, хто любить добро; праведний; благочестивий; міцно тримається вірного слова
Transliteration: hostynnyy; toy, khto lyubyt’ dobro; pravednyy; blahochestyvyy; mitsno trymayet’sya virnoho slova
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Original: φιλόξενος, φιλάγαθος, δίκαιος, ὅσιος, ἀντεχόμενος τοῦ πιστοῦ λόγου
Category: Ministry

New term cluster, Titus 1:8-9. гостинний carries positive current wartime resonance (hospitality toward the internally displaced) as a teaching bridge, not a risk. ὅσιος (благочестивий) is a distinct Greek root from ἅγιος/святий and must not be collapsed into the same Ukrainian word, preserving Paul’s own vocabulary distinction.

Doctrine Teaching

Approved rendering: вчення
Transliteration: vchennya
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Rejected alternatives: наука (forbidden — false friend; modern Ukrainian primarily means secular academic ‘science’)
Original: διδασκαλία
Category: Doctrine

New term, διδασκαλία, the noun underlying ‘Sound Doctrine and Good Works.’ Use вчення consistently throughout; never наука.

Jewish Myths And Commandments Of Men

Approved rendering: юдейські байки / людські заповіді
Transliteration: yudeys’ki bayky / lyuds’ki zapovidi
Doctrine: Proclamation of Truth versus Myths and Human Commandments
Original: Ἰουδαϊκοῖς μύθοις / ἐντολαῖς ἀνθρώπων
Category: Doctrine

New terms, Titus 1:14. Requires careful historical framing: targets specific speculative extra-biblical legendary material circulating in the mixed Jewish-Gentile Cretan churches, never a blanket characterization of Jewish tradition or people, given the baseline’s existing antisemitism sensitivity under Unity of Jews and Gentiles. ‘Of men’ modifier must be retained distinctly from divine заповіді.

Conscience Purity

Approved rendering: совість / чистий / забруднений
Transliteration: sovist’ / chystyy / zabrudnenyy
Doctrine: Proclamation of Truth versus Myths and Human Commandments
Original: συνείδησις / καθαρός / μεμιαμμένος
Category: Sin

New terms, Titus 1:15. συνείδησις/καθαρός/μεμιαμμένος. Must be exposited as inner moral categories, since Paul’s own point in 1:15 is to deny that ritual purity concerns are ultimately what is at stake.

Sober Dignified Household Virtues

Approved rendering: тверезий; поважний; поважні у своїй поведінці; люблячі чоловіків; люблячі дітей; чисті/цнотливі
Transliteration: tverezyy; povazhnyy; povazhni u svoyiy povedintsi; lyublyachi cholovikiv; lyublyachi ditey; chysti/tsnotlyvi
Doctrine: Household Order and Gospel Witness
Original: νηφάλιος, σεμνός/σεμνότης, ἐν καταστήματι ἱεροπρεπεῖς, φιλάνδρους, φιλοτέκνους, ἁγνάς
Category: Ethics

New term cluster, Titus 2:2-5. ἐν καταστήματι ἱεροπρεπεῖς (literally connected to ἱερεύς/priest) must not be misread as an ecclesiological ordination claim — it is a metaphor for dignity of bearing. ἁγνάς (chaste) uses a distinct Greek root from ἅγιος/святий and must not be merged with it.

Endurance

Approved rendering: терпеливість / витривалість
Transliteration: terpelyvist’ / vytryvalist’
Doctrine: Household Order and Gospel Witness
Original: ὑπομονή
Category: Sanctification

New term, ὑπομονή, Titus 2:2. Carries acute lived resonance for a wartime and displaced readership; a pastoral asset, provided it is retained as specifically Christian, hope-grounded perseverance rather than reduced to mere stoic toughness.

Keepers At Home

Approved rendering: порядні господині
Transliteration: poryadni hospodyni
Doctrine: Household Order and Gospel Witness
Original: οἰκουργούς
Category: Ethics

New term, οἰκουργούς, Titus 2:5. Requires exposition distinguishing the ancient household-economy context from any implication limiting women’s broader vocational calling, a live pastoral question sharpened by wartime economic and social disruption to traditional household roles.

Blasphemy Slander Person

Approved rendering: не лихословити нікого / не наклепниці
Transliteration: ne lykhoslovyty nikoho / ne naklepnytsi
Doctrine: Household Order and Gospel Witness
Original: βλασφημεῖν / μὴ διαβόλους
Category: Ethics

New terms, Titus 2:3, 3:2. βλασφημεῖν/διάβολος here name ordinary human defamation, not blaspheming God (see word_of_god_reviled above) nor demonic character; disambiguate both senses explicitly on first occurrence.

Master Despotes

Approved rendering: господар / пан
Transliteration: hospodar / pan
Doctrine: Household Order and Gospel Witness
Rejected alternatives: деспот (forbidden — modern Ukrainian cognate means specifically ‘tyrant,’ amplified by current wartime discourse describing Russian imperial/authoritarian rule)
Original: δεσπότης
Category: Ethics

New term, δεσπότης, Titus 2:9. Using деспот would wrongly cast the addressed household masters as tyrants by definition; use господар or пан, the ordinary words for a household/slave-owner in the ancient economy.

Denying Ungodliness

Approved rendering: зрікшись безбожності та мирських пожадливостей
Transliteration: zrikshys’ bezbozhnosti ta myrs’kykh pozhadlyvostey
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living

New term, ἀρνησάμενοι τὴν ἀσέβειαν, Titus 2:12. A decisive, once-for-all renunciation that grace’s training produces, not a gradual moral improvement project; retain the decisiveness of ἀρνέομαι.

Worldly Desires

Approved rendering: мирські пожадливості
Transliteration: myrs’ki pozhadlyvosti
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Original: κοσμικὰς ἐπιθυμίας
Category: Sin

New term, κοσμικὰς ἐπιθυμίας, Titus 2:12. мирський risks homograph confusion with мир (peace, Critical baseline for its wartime resonance) and the separate мир (‘the world’) — disambiguate all three senses explicitly on first occurrence.

Blessed Hope

Approved rendering: благословенна надія
Transliteration: blahoslovenna nadiya
Doctrine: Blessed Hope and the Second Coming
Original: μακαρίαν ἐλπίδα
Category: Eschatology

New term, μακαρίαν ἐλπίδα, Titus 2:13. Keep надія (confident, character-grounded hope) distinct from the fatalistic доля/фатум family already flagged Critical/High in the baseline under election/providence — this hope is certain, not wishful uncertainty.

Lawlessness

Approved rendering: беззаконня
Transliteration: bezzakonnya
Doctrine: Redemption and Purification
Original: ἀνομία
Category: Sin

New term, ἀνομία, Titus 2:14. Not a synonym for the established гріх (sin, High risk baseline); names specifically lawless rebellion. Keep distinct from both гріх and закон.

Cleanse

Approved rendering: очистити
Transliteration: ochystyty
Doctrine: Redemption and Purification
Original: καθαρίσῃ (καθαρίζω)
Category: Sanctification

New term, καθαρίσῃ (καθαρίζω), Titus 2:14. Distinguish from the baseline’s освячення (ongoing sanctification, Critical risk) — this is the foundational cleansing establishing the people, prior to and foundational for ongoing sanctification.

Zealous For Good Works

Approved rendering: ревний до добрих діл
Transliteration: revnyy do dobrykh dil
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Rejected alternatives: зилот (forbidden — transliterating ζηλωτής directly would evoke the 1st-century political Zealot party, not Paul’s sense of eager disposition)

New term, ζηλωτὴν καλῶν ἔργων, Titus 2:14. ревний names an inward, eager disposition, not political zealotry.

Peaceable And Gentle

Approved rendering: мирні; поступливі; лагідність
Transliteration: myrni; postuplyvi; lahidnist’
Doctrine: Submission to Authority
Original: ἀμάχους, ἐπιεικεῖς, πραότητα
Category: Ethics

New terms, ἀμάχους, ἐπιεικεῖς, πραότητα, Titus 3:2. мирний (peaceable) shares its root with мир, already Critical in the baseline for its wartime resonance; here it names a personal character trait, not a geopolitical state — disambiguate explicitly. лагідність (gentleness) must convey controlled strength, echoing Christ’s own gentleness (Matthew 11:29), not weakness or passivity.

Renewal

Approved rendering: оновлення
Transliteration: onovlennya
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Original: ἀνακαινώσεως πνεύματος ἁγίου
Category: Sanctification

New term, ἀνακαινώσεως πνεύματος ἁγίου, Titus 3:5. Must be explicitly distinguished from παλιγγενεσία/відродження as its ongoing complement: regeneration names the decisive new-birth event; renewal names the Spirit’s continuing renewing work flowing from it.

Poured Out Richly

Approved rendering: вилив щедро
Transliteration: vylyv shchedro
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit

New term, ἐξέχεεν…πλουσίως, Titus 3:6. Echoes Pentecost (Joel 2/Acts 2); this cross-reference should be supplied explicitly since it may not be obvious to readers without that background.

Hope Of Eternal Life

Approved rendering: надія на життя вічне
Transliteration: nadiya na zhyttya vichne
Doctrine: Blessed Hope and the Second Coming

New/recurring phrase, κατ’ ἐλπίδα ζωῆς αἰωνίου, Titus 1:2 and 3:7. Keep надія distinct from the fatalistic доля/фатум family already flagged Critical/High in the baseline.

Faithful Is The Saying

Approved rendering: вірне це слово
Transliteration: virne tse slovo
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works

New term (formulaic device), Πιστὸς ὁ λόγος, Titus 3:8, unique to the Pastoral Epistles. Render consistently for future cross-document consistency with any 1-2 Timothy material; a recognizable literary marker, not itself a new theological claim.

Genealogies Strifes Quarrels

Approved rendering: родоводи; суперечки/чвари; суперечки про закон
Transliteration: rodovody; superechky/chvary; superechky pro zakon
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies

New term cluster, γενεαλογίας, ἔρεις, μάχας νομικάς, Titus 3:9. μάχας νομικάς names disputes over legal interpretation specifically, not a rejection of закон as such (see law above) — keep distinct.

Avoid Shun

Approved rendering: уникай
Transliteration: unykay
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies

New term, περιΐστημι, Titus 3:9. Must convey active avoidance, not passive tolerance.

Warped And Self Condemned

Approved rendering: зіпсована / перекручена; сам себе засуджує
Transliteration: zipsovana / perekruchena; sam sebe zasudzhuye
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies

New terms, ἐξέστραπται, αὐτοκατάκριτος, Titus 3:11. Diagnostic statement: the divisive person’s ongoing sin is self-evidently self-incriminating, not requiring external judicial process — connects to the same ‘who judges/condemns whom’ sensitivity as divisive_person above.

Necessary Needs

Approved rendering: для конечних потреб
Transliteration: dlya konechnykh potreb
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works

New term, εἰς τὰς ἀναγκαίας χρείας, Titus 3:14. Maps directly onto the highly visible landscape of Ukrainian church-based humanitarian relief and support for displaced persons since 2014/2022 — an asset for application, not a translation risk requiring caution.

Low Risk Terms

Exhort

Approved rendering: закликати
Transliteration: zaklykaty
Doctrine: Mutual Edification

Inherited unchanged from the Romans/Galatians baseline package. Titus 2:15 uses παρακάλει in the encouragement sense (paired with ἔλεγχε, ‘rebuke’ — see avoid_shun-adjacent cluster and warped_and_self_condemned notes for the letter’s other corrective vocabulary).

God Who Cannot Lie

Approved rendering: Бог, Який не лже
Transliteration: Boh, Yakyy ne lzhe
Doctrine: Blessed Hope and the Second Coming

New term, Titus 1:2. Grounds the promise’s reliability in God’s own truthful character; low lexical risk, but the causal link to обітниця (promise) should be drawn out in exposition.

Before The Ages

Approved rendering: перед вічними часами
Transliteration: pered vichnymy chasamy
Doctrine: Blessed Hope and the Second Coming

New term, Titus 1:2. πρὸ χρόνων αἰωνίων; low doctrinal risk.

Empty Talkers And Deceivers

Approved rendering: марнослови / зводителі
Transliteration: marnoslovy / zvodyteli
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Original: ματαιολόγοι / φρεναπάται
Category: Doctrine

New terms, Titus 1:10. ματαιολόγοι/φρεναπάται, describing false teachers; standard lexical rendering, low doctrinal risk.

Cretans

Approved rendering: критяни
Transliteration: krytyany
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Original: Κρῆτες
Category: Doctrine

New term/ethnonym, Titus 1:12. Paul quotes a local, self-deprecating Cretan proverb (Epimenides) as rhetorical device, not a timeless ethnic judgment; brief framing note recommended given heightened current sensitivity around ethnic generalization in wartime discourse generally, though the biblical referent carries no direct contemporary political charge.

Present Age

Approved rendering: у теперішньому віці
Transliteration: u teperishn’omu vitsi
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living

New term, ἐν τῷ νῦν αἰῶνι, Titus 2:12. Situates godly living within ordinary historical time, in explicit tension with 2:13’s ‘blessed hope.‘

Lawyer And Send Off

Approved rendering: законник; старанно спорядь у дорогу
Transliteration: zakonnyk; staranno sporyad’ u dorohu
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works

New terms, νομικόν, σπουδαίως προπέμψον, Titus 3:13. Practical closing hospitality/support instructions for traveling co-workers; low doctrinal risk.

Unfruitful

Approved rendering: безплідні
Transliteration: bezplidni
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Original: ἄκαρποι
Category: Sanctification

New term, ἄκαρποι, Titus 3:14. Echoes the established плід (fruit, Galatians baseline for πλίδ Духа) as its antonym; specifically means failing to meet practical needs through good works.
