Romans 13

• Glossary Term

  Justification

  Compound phrase required; no single Urdu word carries the forensic 'declared righteous' sense.

  ROM.13.11

• Glossary Term

  Righteousness

  CRITICAL: تقویٰ (taqwa, God-consciousness/piety) is rejected as the primary rendering because it names a whole Quranic ethical-spiritual disposition achieved through obedience and God-consciousness, not a status granted through faith apart from works.

• Doctrine

  Salvation

  CRITICAL AND STRUCTURALLY DIFFERENT FROM EVERY OTHER LANGUAGE IN THIS PIPELINE: نجات (najat) is a shared word across both scripture traditions, not a wrong word standing in for a right one.

  ROM.13.11

• Glossary Term

  Salvation

  CRITICAL: نجات is the established Urdu Christian Bible term, but it is also the ordinary Islamic word for deliverance from hell/judgment.
