Core Glossary

Core Glossary: Titus (English → Urdu)

This glossary consolidates every load-bearing theological term identified in 07_semantic_analysis.md, covering Titus 1:1–3:15 in full. Terms marked REUSE already exist in the baseline Romans/Galatians translation_memory.json and must be used exactly as recorded there — no alternative renderings are permitted. Terms marked NEW are proposed here for the first time in this Language Package and require formal addition to translation_memory.json/bible_term_registry.json (with theologian sign-off for every Critical/High entry) before Phase 2 translation begins.

Cross-Cutting Risk Notes for Phase 2

Purity-vocabulary family (καθαρός, μιαίνω, ἁγνός, ἅγιος/πᶰκ): Titus uses at least four distinct purity-related roots within three chapters, several colliding directly with everyday Urdu fiqh vocabulary (پاک/ناپاک). Recommend a single consolidated theologian review pass across all purity-language occurrences in the book (1:15; 2:5; 3:5) before Phase 2 translation, rather than reviewing each in isolation.
Submission/authority vocabulary (ὑποτάσσω, πειθαρχέω): Occurs in three distinct relational contexts (wives/husbands 2:5; slaves/masters 2:9; citizens/rulers 3:1). Recommend تابع ہونا as the uniform primary rendering across all three, with اطاعت flagged as forbidden per the political-theology collision noted at 3:1, added as a new forbidden-substitution rule for this book’s language package.
“Good works” (καλὸν/ἀγαθὸν ἔργον): The single most frequent load-bearing phrase in the letter (1:16; 2:7, 14; 3:1, 8, 14). A single standing contextual rule (fruit, never basis, of salvation) should govern every occurrence; recommend this be encoded as a book-level escalation rule in the forthcoming 12_ai_translation_requirements.md Titus addendum, parallel to the baseline’s works_of_the_law rule for Galatians.
σωτήρ applied to both Father and Son: Occurs six times (1:3, 4; 2:10, 13; 3:4, 6), alternating referents. Recommend theologian review track this pattern as a single cross-verse unit rather than verse-by-verse in isolation, since the deliberate title-sharing is itself a Trinitarian data-point worth preserving visibly in translation.
λουτρὸν παλιγγενεσίας (3:5): This is flagged as the single highest ritual-practice collision risk newly introduced by this book. Recommend this specific phrase be added to the forbidden-substitution list (never غسل) in the Titus addendum to 12_ai_translation_requirements.md, parallel to the existing کافر/اسلام/دعوت/تبلیغ/اللہ/bare-عیسیٰ list inherited from the Romans/Galatians baseline.

This glossary extends, and nowhere contradicts, the baseline Romans/Galatians translation_memory.json and bible_term_registry.json. All REUSE entries are binding as recorded in those files. All NEW entries require formal promotion into those files (with version increment) before Phase 2 segment translation of Titus may begin, per 12_ai_translation_requirements.md’s Translation Memory Load and Enforcement Instructions.

Critical Risk Terms

Grace

Approved rendering: فضل
Transliteration: faz̤l
Doctrine: Grace
Rejected alternatives: رحمت, احسان, کرم
Original: χάρις
Category: Salvation

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Titus’s densest single concentration of this term (2:11-3:7) makes it the book’s structural spine: grace appears (2:11), trains (2:12), and grounds justification and heirship (3:7). Must retain the unmerited, apart-from-works sense throughout; never drift toward رحمت’s mīzān-adjacent mercy-weighed-against-deeds framework, even though رحمت is also used in 3:5 as a genuine near-synonym requiring its own contrastive note (see ‘mercy’ entry below).

Righteousness

Approved rendering: راستبازی
Transliteration: rāstbāzī
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: نیکی, تقویٰ
Original: δικαιοσύνη
Category: Salvation

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Titus 3:5’s phrase ‘works done in righteousness’ (ἔργων τῶν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ) reuses this noun as the object of the sharpest, most unqualified works-exclusion statement in this curriculum — see ‘not_by_works_of_righteousness’ below. Keep lexically distinct from the lighter character-adjective راست used for δίκαιος at 1:8/2:12 (see ‘righteous_character_dikaios’).

Justification

Approved rendering: راستباز ٹھہرایا جانا
Transliteration: rāstbāz ṭhahrāyā jānā
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: معافی پانا
Original: δικαιόω
Category: Salvation

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Titus 3:7 (δικαιωθέντες τῇ ἐκείνου χάριτι) links this term directly and grammatically to grace and to heirship, forming with 3:4-6 the tightest single grace-not-works salvation statement in this curriculum. Never reduce to معافی پانا (mere forgiveness).

Salvation

Approved rendering: نجات
Transliteration: najāt
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: مکتی
Original: σωτηρία (root of σωτήρ/σωτήριος, the dominant Titus word-family)
Category: Salvation

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Titus intensifies this term’s baseline shared-mechanism risk (mercy-weighed-against-deeds vs. Christ’s finished atonement) by concentrating six occurrences of the cognate title ‘Savior’ (see ‘savior’ below) across three short chapters — the densest concentration of این نجات-family vocabulary anywhere in this Language Package.

Holy Spirit

Approved rendering: روح القدس
Transliteration: rūḥ al-qudus
Doctrine: Sanctification
Original: πνεῦμα ἅγιον
Category: God

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Titus 3:5-6 makes this term the personal, divine agent of regeneration and renewal — the seed of this book’s unique ‘Regeneration by the Holy Spirit’ doctrine. Standing baseline note (never the angel Jibreel; full co-equal divine personhood) applies at every occurrence.

God

Approved rendering: خدا
Transliteration: k͟hudā
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: اللہ
Original: θεός
Category: God

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Titus 2:13’s Granville-Sharp construction (see ‘great_god_and_savior’ below) makes this term’s application directly to Jesus Christ the single highest-priority Critical item in this book.

Jesus

Approved rendering: یسوع
Transliteration: yasū’
Doctrine: Lordship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: عیسیٰ
Original: Ἰησοῦς
Category: Christology

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Always combined as یسوع مسیح per standing rule; never bare عیسیٰ. Occurs in the fixed formula Ἰησοῦς Χριστός/Χριστὸς Ἰησοῦς throughout Titus (1:1, 4; 2:13; 3:6).

Messiah

Approved rendering: مسیح
Transliteration: masīḥ
Doctrine: Messianic Promise
Original: Χριστός
Category: Christology

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Shared with the Qur’an’s own al-Masih but, per baseline, without the full content this curriculum assigns the title (eternal Son, atoning death, deity per 2:13).

Circumcision

Approved rendering: ختنہ
Transliteration: k͟hatnah
Doctrine: Circumcision and the New Creation

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Titus 1:10 uses ‘those of the circumcision’ (ἡ περιτομή) as a false-teaching faction-designation, the identical group-usage already Critical in the Galatians baseline. Mandatory theologian review at every occurrence, distinguishing the group’s false teaching from the practice of circumcision itself, a currently, widely practiced Islamic sunnah.

Cross Crucifixion

Approved rendering: صلیب / مصلوب
Transliteration: ṣalīb / maṣlūb
Doctrine: Crucified with Christ

INHERITED FROM GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged, included here BY DOCTRINAL ASSOCIATION rather than direct textual occurrence: the specific word صلیب never appears in Titus, but Titus 2:14’s ‘who gave himself for us’ (see ‘gave_himself_for_us’ below) presupposes the identical substitutionary, sacrificial death this baseline entry addresses — a historical event Qur’an 4:157 denies took place. The baseline’s mandatory crucifixion/atonement theologian-review escalation rule applies to Titus 2:14 regardless of the absence of the word صلیب itself.

Savior

Approved rendering: نجات دہندہ
Transliteration: najāt dahindah
Doctrine: Deity and Saviorhood of Christ
Original: σωτήρ
Category: Salvation

NEW for Titus, built transparently on the baseline نجات root. Applied six times (1:3, 4; 2:10, 13; 3:4, 6), alternating between God the Father (1:3; 3:4) and Jesus Christ (2:13; 3:6) — a deliberate title-sharing pattern that is itself Trinitarian evidence and must be preserved visibly, never smoothed into two different Urdu words. Inherits and intensifies the baseline salvation entry’s shared-mechanism risk, now applied as a personal title. Every occurrence applied to Christ must be read alongside ‘great_god_and_savior’ below. Process all six occurrences as one linked cross-verse review unit.

Great God And Savior

Approved rendering: ہمارا عظیم خدا اور نجات دہندہ یسوع مسیح
Transliteration: hamārā aẕīm k͟hudā aur najāt dahindah yasū’ masīḥ
Doctrine: Deity and Saviorhood of Christ
Original: ὁ μέγας θεὸς καὶ σωτὴρ ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦς Χριστός
Category: Christology

NEW for Titus 2:13; SINGLE HIGHEST-PRIORITY TERM IN THIS BOOK. Compound of REUSE terms (خدا, یسوع مسیح) plus new descriptors عظیم and نجات دہندہ. A Granville-Sharp construction (one Greek article governing two conjoined nouns) that grammatically identifies Jesus Christ AS ‘the great God and Savior,’ not a separate lesser figure alongside God — among the most direct NT deity-of-Christ statements, more explicit than Romans 9:5. Collides at the sharpest possible point with Qur’an 5:72-75 and 4:171’s explicit rejection of ‘God is the Messiah.’ No clarifying footnote can soften this without falsifying the text. Mandatory human theologian review AND mandatory pastoral framing (acknowledging, never concealing, the collision) at every occurrence. Urdu’s own اور (and) risks a two-coordinate-titles misreading (implying two figures) unless a translator’s note makes the single-referent grammar explicit.

Saving Grace Soterios

Approved rendering: نجات بخش
Transliteration: najāt bakhsh
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Original: σωτήριος
Category: Salvation

NEW for Titus 2:11 (σωτήριος, ‘grace… bringing salvation’), built on the baseline نجات root. Inherits the same Critical shared-mechanism risk (two soteriologies, one word); every occurrence needs the contrastive teaching that this salvation is secured through Christ’s finished work, not mercy weighed against deeds at judgment.

Not By Works Of Righteousness

Approved rendering: ہمارے کیے ہوئے راستبازی کے کاموں کی وجہ سے نہیں
Transliteration: hamāre kiye hu’e rāstbāzī ke kāmõ kī wajah se nahī̃
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Rejected alternatives: ہمارے اعمال کی وجہ سے نہیں (bare, unqualified اعمال rendering), صرف اعمال سے نہیں (implies partial contribution, softens the unqualified denial)
Original: οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων τῶν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ ἃ ἐποιήσαμεν ἡμεῖς
Category: Salvation

NEW for Titus 3:5; ARGUABLY THE SINGLE HIGHEST-STAKES SOTERIOLOGICAL STATEMENT IN THIS CURRICULUM. Unlike Galatians’ works_of_the_law (narrowly anchored to Mosaic Torah-observance), this verse’s unqualified denial that ANY human righteous deed contributes to salvation sits in the most direct possible tension with the Islamic mīzān (deeds-weighed-at-judgment) doctrine. Must never be softened into ‘not only by works.’ Must never be taught as though good works are worthless (3:8 commands them emphatically) — the basis/fruit distinction is this book’s doctrinal hinge and must be taught explicitly at this verse, every time.

Washing Of Regeneration

Approved rendering: نئی پیدائش کا دھلاؤ
Transliteration: na’ī paidā’ish kā dhulā’o
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Rejected alternatives: غسل
Original: λουτρὸν παλιγγενεσίας
Category: Salvation

NEW for Titus 3:5 (λουτρὸν παλιγγενεσίας); MANDATORY FORBIDDEN-SUBSTITUTION ADDITION, unique ritual-vocabulary collision newly introduced by this book. غسل is the specific technical term for the major ritual ablution in Islamic fiqh (required after specific impurity-states, before certain worship acts, and for washing the dead); using it here would present regeneration as a ritual-purification act structurally parallel to a well-known Islamic legal practice. Use this periphrastic, deliberately generic phrase instead, always paired with an explicit note that this is God’s own regenerative act, not a rite comparable to ghusl.

Regeneration

Approved rendering: نئی پیدائش
Transliteration: na’ī paidā’ish
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Original: παλιγγενεσία
Category: Salvation

NEW for Titus 3:5 (παλιγγενεσία, used only here and Matthew 19:28 in the NT). Matches established Urdu evangelical ‘born again’ usage. This is the seed term for a doctrine with no prior baseline anchor at all in the Romans/Galatians curriculum. Mandatory human theologian review at every occurrence.

Gave Himself For Us

Approved rendering: اپنے آپ کو ہمارے لیے دے دیا
Transliteration: apne āp ko hamāre liye de diyā
Doctrine: Christ’s Atoning Self-Giving
Original: ὃς ἔδωκεν ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν
Category: Christology

NEW for Titus 2:14 (ὃς ἔδωκεν ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν). Although صلیب never appears explicitly in Titus, this phrase presupposes the same substitutionary, sacrificial death addressed by the baseline’s cross_crucifixion entry — a historical event Qur’an 4:157 denies took place. Automatic flag for theologian review under the baseline’s crucifixion/atonement escalation rule, even in the absence of the specific word صلیب. Must never be allegorized away to reduce friction.

Purity Of Conscience

Approved rendering: پاک / ناپاک
Transliteration: pāk / nāpāk
Doctrine: Purity of Conscience versus Ritual Purity
Rejected alternatives: طاہر / ناطاہر (ritual fiqh-register terms)
Original: μεμιαμμένοις καὶ ἀπίστοις οὐδὲν καθαρόν / καθαρός / μιαίνω
Category: Sin

NEW for Titus 1:15 (μεμιαμμένοις καὶ ἀπίστοις οὐδὲν καθαρόν, ‘to the defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure’). SINGLE MOST ACUTE RITUAL-VOCABULARY COLLISION NEWLY INTRODUCED BY THIS BOOK: پاک/ناپاک is THE standard everyday Urdu word-pair for ritual cleanliness/uncleanliness in lived Islamic practice (fiqh ṭahāra categories governing food, water, prayer-readiness). Paul’s actual claim concerns a defiled conscience and unbelief, not ritual status — the verse distinguishes itself FROM the very framework its vocabulary most readily evokes. Mandatory explicit clarifying note at every occurrence; mandatory theologian review.

Blasphemy Discredit

Approved rendering: بدنام کرنا
Transliteration: badnām karnā
Doctrine: Reputation of the Gospel / Avoiding Reproach
Rejected alternatives: کفر, توہین, توہینِ رسالت-adjacent vocabulary
Original: βλασφημέω
Category: Ethics

NEW for Titus (βλασφημέω, 2:5, 8, 10; 3:2); UNIQUE PASTORAL-LEGAL CAUTION. In Pakistan and much of the Urdu-speaking world, ‘blasphemy’ vocabulary is not an abstract theological category but the subject of specific, severely enforced criminal law (توہینِ رسالت). Rendering βλασφημέω with کفر-family vocabulary risks (a) triggering associations with a live legal category entirely foreign to Paul’s actual concern — that believers’ bad conduct not bring reproach on the gospel’s/God’s word’s reputation — and (b) creating real-world danger for readers and translators. بدنام کرنا/بدنامی is required at every occurrence.

High Risk Terms

Faith

Approved rendering: ایمان
Transliteration: īmān
Doctrine: Faith
Original: πίστις
Category: Faith

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Titus adds one new disambiguation requirement not present in the baseline: at 2:10 (δεσπόταις πίστιν ἐνδεικνυμένους ἀγαθήν, a slave’s ‘good faith/fidelity’ toward a master), πίστις means secular trustworthiness, NOT saving faith. Render that specific occurrence with وفاداری (see ‘faithfulness_conduct_sense’ below), never with ایمان, to prevent conflating workplace reliability with saving trust in Christ. Also occurs at 1:1 (κοινὴν πίστιν, ‘common/shared faith’, see ‘common_faith’ below).

Election

Approved rendering: خدا کا انتخاب
Transliteration: k͟hudā kā intik͟hāb
Doctrine: Effectual Calling
Rejected alternatives: تقدیر
Original: ἐκλεκτῶν θεοῦ
Category: Salvation

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Titus 1:1 (ἐκλεκτῶν θεοῦ) applies this corporately to believers, per the baseline’s Romans 8:33/9:11 usage pattern. تقدیر remains a standing forbidden substitution.

Law

Approved rendering: شریعت
Transliteration: sharī’at
Doctrine: Fulfillment of Prophecy
Rejected alternatives: توریت
Original: νόμος (in μάχαι νομικαί, ‘quarrels about the law,’ 3:9)
Category: Covenant

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Titus 3:9’s ‘quarrels about the law’ (μάχαι νομικαί, see new entry below) must be anchored to the specific historical Jewish-Christian-adjacent controversy Titus addresses (cf. 1:10, 14), never generalized into a dismissal of legal/religious-law discussion as such.

Redemption

Approved rendering: چھڑایا / چھٹکارا
Transliteration: chhuṛāyā / chhuṭkārā
Doctrine: The Law’s Purpose
Rejected alternatives: فدیہ
Original: λυτρόω
Category: Salvation

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Titus 2:14 (λυτρώσηται) is a completed, once-for-all rescue from lawlessness itself, distinct from Galatians’ ἐξαγοράζω (bought out from the law’s curse). Standing caution against Islamic fidyah’s compensatory-payment logic applies unchanged.

Eternal Life

Approved rendering: ابدی زندگی
Transliteration: abadī zindagī
Doctrine: Eternal Life and Inheritance
Original: ζωὴ αἰώνιος
Category: Eschatology

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged (doctrine tag updated for Titus context; baseline Galatians tag was ‘Bearing One Another’s Burdens’). Titus 1:2 (promised before the ages began) and 3:7 (the believer’s hope as heir) both require continuity with نجات, never a separately earned reward.

Glory

Approved rendering: جلال
Transliteration: jalāl
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Original: δόξα
Category: God

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Titus 2:13 (‘the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior’) anchors this term directly to the book’s single highest-priority Critical doctrine — see ‘great_god_and_savior’ and ‘appearing_of_the_glory’ below.

Promise

Approved rendering: وعدہ
Transliteration: wa’dah
Doctrine: The Abrahamic Covenant and Promise
Rejected alternatives: وعدہ مشروط (conditional framing)

INHERITED FROM GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Titus 1:2 (ὁ ἀψευδὴς θεός … ἐπηγγείλατο, ‘God who never lies… promised eternal life before the ages began’) is a new occurrence of this term outside its Galatians Abrahamic-covenant context; retain the unconditional, God-initiated sense here as well.

Father

Approved rendering: باپ
Transliteration: bāp
Doctrine: Adoption into God’s Family

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Titus 1:4’s greeting (θεοῦ πατρός) is a new occurrence; standing baseline note (generally understood as relational/metaphorical by Muslim readers, lower shirk-collision risk than ‘Son of God’) applies unchanged.

Mercy

Approved rendering: رحمت
Transliteration: raḥmat
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Original: ἔλεος
Category: Salvation

NEW for Titus 3:5 (ἔλεος), distinct from χάρις (grace, already used 2:11, 3:7). رحمت is THE central Islamic divine-attribute term (al-Raḥmān, al-Raḥīm); per the baseline grace entry’s own guidance, this is acceptable for general divine mercy/compassion (though rejected as grace’s primary rendering). The mechanism by which this mercy reaches sinners here (through Christ’s washing/renewal, not deeds weighed in the mīzān) must be taught explicitly as distinct.

Renewal Of Holy Spirit

Approved rendering: تجدید
Transliteration: tajdīd
Doctrine: Regeneration by the Holy Spirit
Original: ἀνακαίνωσις πνεύματος ἁγίου
Category: Sanctification

NEW for Titus 3:5 (ἀνακαίνωσις πνεύματος ἁγίου). تجدید carries significant, specific Islamic revivalist-movement resonance (a mujaddid is a recognized historical ‘renewer’ of correct religious practice, e.g. Shah Waliullah, Ahmad Sirhindi as ‘Mujaddid Alf-i Thani’); this usage is the personal, inward renewal of an individual believer’s nature, not a communal religious-reform movement — note this distinction at first occurrence.

Good Works

Approved rendering: نیک کام
Transliteration: nēk kām
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Original: καλὸν ἔργον / ἔργον ἀγαθόν
Category: Ethics

NEW for Titus; the single most frequent load-bearing phrase in the letter (1:16; 2:7, 14; 3:1, 8, 14). STANDING BOOK-LEVEL RULE: never present as contributing to justification/salvation (3:5 excludes this unqualifiedly); always teach as grace-produced, Spirit-empowered fruit and evidence of genuine faith (3:8’s own grammar: ‘those who have believed God’ are the subject devoting themselves to good works — faith produces works, never the reverse). Flag every one of the six occurrences for human theologian review; do not rely on the reader recalling the rule from an earlier occurrence.

Zealous For Good Works

Approved rendering: نیک کاموں میں سرگرم
Transliteration: nēk kāmõ mẽ sargarm
Doctrine: Christ’s Atoning Self-Giving
Original: ζηλωτὴς καλῶν ἔργων
Category: Ethics

NEW for Titus 2:14 (ζηλωτὴς καλῶν ἔργων), reusing the سرگرم root. Same standing basis/fruit caution as ‘good_works’: this zeal is redemption’s direct fruit in the very verse that describes it, never a separate meritorious achievement.

Peculiar People

Approved rendering: خاص قوم
Transliteration: k͟hās qaum
Doctrine: Christ’s Atoning Self-Giving
Original: λαὸς περιούσιος
Category: Church

NEW for Titus 2:14 (λαὸς περιούσιος), echoing LXX Exodus 19:5’s description of Israel, now applied to the church. قوم carries strong ethnic/national-community connotation in Urdu, resonant with ummah-adjacent group-identity concepts. Must be taught as a people constituted by faith in Christ across all ethnicities, never a new ethnic-national election replacing Israel or paralleling the ummah.

Purify Katharizo

Approved rendering: پاک کرنا
Transliteration: pāk karnā
Doctrine: Christ’s Atoning Self-Giving
Rejected alternatives: پاک کرنا used without a clarifying note distinguishing moral-relational cleansing from ritual purification
Original: καθαρίζω
Category: Sanctification

NEW for Titus 2:14 (καθαρίσῃ), reusing the baseline پاک root. First of several purity-language occurrences in Titus (cf. 1:15, 3:5) sitting unusually close to Islamic ritual-purity vocabulary (pāk/nāpāk, the everyday fiqh pairing). Must be distinguished explicitly from ritual cleanliness law (tahara/wudu/ghusl): the sense here is moral-relational cleansing, making a people fit to belong to God.

Chaste Hagnos

Approved rendering: پاک دامن
Transliteration: pāk-dāman
Doctrine: Household Order and Family Roles
Original: ἁγνός
Category: Sanctification

NEW for Titus 2:5 (ἁγνός), a third distinct Greek purity-root alongside καθαρός (1:15, 3:5) and ἅγιος. پاک دامن is an established Urdu idiom for chastity. Given accumulated purity-vocabulary sensitivity at 1:15 and 3:5, track all three Greek purity roots consistently rather than collapsing them into one Urdu word; recommend a single consolidated theologian review pass across 1:15, 2:5, and 3:5 together.

Godliness Eusebeia

Approved rendering: دینداری
Transliteration: dīndārī
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Rejected alternatives: خدا ترسی (lower-risk alternative, flagged for reviewer discretion, not adopted as primary)
Original: εὐσέβεια / εὐσεβῶς
Category: Sanctification

NEW for Titus 1:1 and 2:12 (εὐσέβεια/εὐσεβῶς). One of the most linguistically difficult terms in the book: دین denotes a comprehensive religious system/way of life in Urdu-Arabic usage (‘Dīn-e-Islam’ is the standard designation for the whole Islamic religious system), so دینداری risks being heard as ‘being a good, practicing adherent of one’s religious system’ rather than Paul’s narrower sense of reverent devotion to God flowing from grace. Retained per established Urdu Bible Society usage, but requires a mandatory clarifying note at first occurrence in every document.

Trains Paideuo

Approved rendering: تربیت دیتا ہے
Transliteration: tarbiyat detā hai
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Original: παιδεύω
Category: Sanctification

NEW for Titus 2:12 (παιδεύουσα); CENTRAL TERM OF THE CURRICULUM’S TITLE DOCTRINE. تربیت is safe, widely shared vocabulary, but also a major term in Islamic pedagogical/parenting discourse (tarbiyah as a comprehensive religious-formation system under religious authority). Every occurrence must make explicit that the agent and power source of this training is grace already received, not a law-based self-effort system — otherwise the sentence can be misheard as reversing Paul’s causal order (‘grace assigns new duties’ rather than ‘grace produces obedience’).

Righteous Character Dikaios

Approved rendering: راست
Transliteration: rāst
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Rejected alternatives: راستباز (bare noun-adjective, would imply the forensic-status term applies to personal character and could suggest meritorious ground)
Original: δίκαιος
Category: Ethics

NEW for Titus 1:8 and 2:12 (δίκαιος as a personal-character adjective, distinct from the forensic-status noun δικαιοσύνη). This lighter cognate is used deliberately instead of reusing راستباز directly, to avoid implying that an elder’s or believer’s personal justice/uprightness is itself the meritorious ground of standing before God — which 3:5 explicitly excludes. Keep lexically distinct from راستبازی throughout.

Elder

Approved rendering: کلیسیا کا بزرگ
Transliteration: kalīsiyā kā buzurg
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Rejected alternatives: بزرگ (bare, without the کلیسیا کا qualifier)
Original: πρεσβύτερος
Category: Church

NEW for Titus 1:5 (πρεσβύτερος); UNIQUE CHURCH-OFFICE TERM REQUIRING CAREFUL QUALIFICATION AT EVERY OCCURRENCE. بزرگ alone is a major term in South Asian devotional Islam, especially Sufi tradition, for a revered holy man, often shrine-associated (‘بزرگانِ دین’) — structurally the same collision the baseline already flags for ولی (saints/wali). The mandatory qualifier کلیسیا کا prevents this office being heard as a shrine-veneration or intercessory-saint category rather than a functional, accountable local-church leadership role. Same office as ‘overseer’ below (1:7) — teach as one office, not two ranks.

Overseer

Approved rendering: نگران
Transliteration: nigrān
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Rejected alternatives: نگہبان (reserved in this Language Package for the Galatians paidagogos — a temporary, custodial office, whereas ἐπίσκοπος here is ongoing/non-expiring), بشپ (transliteration risks implying a later-developed episcopal hierarchy not necessarily intended by Titus’s elder/overseer interchangeability)
Original: ἐπίσκοπος
Category: Church

NEW for Titus 1:7 (ἐπίσκοπος). Must be taught alongside ‘elder’ as the identical office viewed from its supervisory function, not a separate, higher rank.

Husband Of One Wife

Approved rendering: ایک ہی بیوی کا خاندان رکھنے والا
Transliteration: ēk hī bīvī kā k͟hāndān rakhne wālā
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Original: μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἀνήρ
Category: Church

NEW for Titus 1:6 (μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἀνήρ). Read against a South Asian Muslim cultural backdrop in which Islamic law permits a man up to four wives (Qur’an 4:3), this is a specific, elevated church-leadership standard of marital faithfulness and maturity, NOT a claim that marriage generally requires monogamy under all circumstances. Must be framed strictly as a leadership qualification, never as a polemical statement contrasting Christian and Islamic marriage law. Mandatory theologian review with pastoral-framing guidance.

Sound Doctrine

Approved rendering: صحت بخش تعلیم
Transliteration: ṣiḥḥat-bakhsh ta’līm
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Rejected alternatives: صحیح تعلیم
Original: διδασκαλία ὑγιαίνουσα / λόγος ὑγιής
Category: Church

NEW for Titus (διδασκαλία ὑγιαίνουσα, 1:9; λόγος ὑγιής, 2:1, 8). صحیح is a technical term of central importance in Islamic hadith science — a ‘sahih’ hadith is one authenticated through a verified chain of transmission (isnād), a whole scholarly discipline (‘ilm al-ḥadīth) devoted to grading traditions sahih/da’if. صحت بخش preserves Paul’s own medical-health metaphor for doctrine and avoids importing that entire authentication-methodology framework.

Quarrels About The Law

Approved rendering: شریعت کے بارے میں جھگڑے
Transliteration: sharī’at ke bāre mẽ jhagṛe
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Original: μάχαι νομικαί
Category: Covenant

NEW for Titus 3:9 (μάχαι νομικαί), built on شریعت. Same standing caution as the baseline’s Galatians law_and_grace entry — must be anchored to the specific Mosaic-law-adjacent controversy Titus addresses (cf. 1:10, 14), never generalized into a dismissal of legal/religious-law discussion as such.

Divisive Person

Approved rendering: تفرقہ ڈالنے والا شخص
Transliteration: tafraqah ḍālne wālā shak͟hṣ
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Rejected alternatives: بدعتی
Original: αἱρετικὸς ἄνθρωπος
Category: Church

NEW for Titus 3:10 (αἱρετικὸς ἄνθρωπος). بدعتی (an ‘innovator’ in the technical bid’ah sense) is a major, precisely defined and often severely contested Islamic theological category foundational to significant reform/polemical discourse; using it reframes Paul’s concern (a person stirring up factional strife within the church) as a technical doctrinal-innovation charge — a different, more legally/socially loaded category. تفرقہ ڈالنے والا شخص keeps the relational/communal-division sense Paul intends.

Submission To Authority

Approved rendering: تابع ہونا
Transliteration: tābi’ honā
Doctrine: Submission to Authority
Rejected alternatives: اطاعت کرنا
Original: ὑποτάσσω
Category: Ethics

NEW for Titus (ὑποτάσσω, occurring three times: wives 2:5; slaves 2:9; civil rulers 3:1). اطاعت is a precisely defined Islamic political-theological term — obedience to Allah, the Messenger, and ‘those in authority’ (ulī’l-amr, Qur’an 4:59) as a specific classical doctrine of religiously mandated political submission. Using اطاعت at 3:1 risks readers hearing Paul’s missionally-motivated instruction (submit so the gospel is not discredited) as an endorsement of that specific Quranic doctrine. تابع ہونا is required uniformly across all three relational contexts; اطاعت is a forbidden substitution for this book.

Appearing Of The Glory

Approved rendering: جلال کا ظہور
Transliteration: jalāl kā ẕuhūr
Doctrine: The Blessed Hope and Second Coming
Original: ἐπιφάνεια τῆς δόξης
Category: Eschatology

NEW for Titus 2:13 (ἐπιφάνεια τῆς δόξης), compound reusing جلال. Must not be assimilated to the general, shared Islamic qiyamat framework without Titus’s Christ-centered specificity — this is Christ’s own personal, glorious return, inseparable from the deity claim in the very same verse (see ‘great_god_and_savior’).

Medium Risk Terms

Apostle

Approved rendering: رسول
Transliteration: rasūl
Doctrine: Apostleship
Rejected alternatives: نبی
Original: ἀπόστολος
Category: Church

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Titus 1:1 pairs this with the new self-designation خدا کا بندہ (servant of God). Standing baseline caution against the Quranic scripture-bearing-messenger paradigm applies unchanged.

Slavery

Approved rendering: غلامی / غلام
Transliteration: g͟hulāmī / g͟hulām
Doctrine: Freedom in Christ
Original: δοῦλος
Category: Ethics

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Titus 2:9-10 addresses δοῦλοι directly with household instructions; never politicize toward a named living community. Paired with the new term مالک (human master), kept lexically distinct from خداوند.

Heir Inheritance

Approved rendering: وارث
Transliteration: wāris
Doctrine: Adoption and Sonship
Original: κληρονόμος
Category: Salvation

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Titus 3:7 (κληρονόμοι γενηθῶμεν) extends the Galatians grace-promise-never-merit logic directly from justification in the same sentence.

Faithfulness Conduct Sense

Approved rendering: وفاداری
Transliteration: wafādārī
Doctrine: Fruit of the Spirit
Rejected alternatives: ایمان (rejected in this specific sense — would collide with saving faith)
Original: πίστις ἀγαθή
Category: Faith

INHERITED FROM GALATIANS BASELINE (‘faithfulness_fruit_sense’), reused for Titus 2:10’s πίστις ἀγαθή (a slave’s trustworthiness toward a master). Deliberately distinct from ایمان to prevent conflating workplace reliability with saving faith in Christ.

Zeal

Approved rendering: سرگرم
Transliteration: sargarm
Doctrine: Paul’s Apostleship
Original: ζηλωτής
Category: Ethics

INHERITED FROM GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged root. Galatians 1:14 uses this for misdirected pre-conversion zeal; Titus 2:14 (ζηλωτὴς καλῶν ἔργων) reuses the same root in a positive sense — zeal for good works as redemption’s fruit. Flag this sense-shift explicitly for reviewers moving between the two books.

Peace

Approved rendering: صلح
Transliteration: ṣulḥ
Doctrine: Peace with God
Rejected alternatives: سلامتی

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Titus 1:4’s greeting formula (χάρις καὶ εἰρήνη) pairs this with فضل exactly as in the Romans/Galatians greetings; keep the relational, reconciliation sense forward.

Ungodliness Asebeia

Approved rendering: بے دینی
Transliteration: be-dīnī
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Original: ἀσέβεια
Category: Sin

NEW for Titus 2:12 (ἀσέβεια). Same دین-root risk as ‘godliness_eusebeia’ in reverse: could be heard as ‘lacking a religion/religious identity’ rather than Paul’s narrower ‘irreverent disposition toward the true God.’ Pair with a clarifying gloss at first use.

Holy Hosios

Approved rendering: پرہیزگار / خدا ترس
Transliteration: parhezgār / k͟hudā-tars
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Rejected alternatives: پاک (would collapse a distinct Greek root into the already-established ἅγιος rendering)
Original: ὅσιος
Category: Sanctification

NEW for Titus 1:8 (ὅσιος), a distinct root from ἅγιος already established as پاک in this Language Package. Use a lexically distinguishable Urdu term to preserve the original’s textual distinctness rather than collapsing it into پاک.

Knowledge Of Truth

Approved rendering: سچائی کی پہچان
Transliteration: sachā’ī kī pahchān
Doctrine: Election and Apostolic Commission
Rejected alternatives: معرفت
Original: ἐπίγνωσις ἀληθείας
Category: Faith

NEW for Titus 1:1 (ἐπίγνωσις ἀληθείας). معرفت is a major, specific Sufi mystical-epistemology term (gnosis attained through spiritual ascent, distinct from discursive ‘ilm); Paul’s term denotes settled, correct doctrinal/experiential knowledge of the gospel’s truth, not an attained mystical state, so معرفت is avoided.

Genealogies

Approved rendering: نسب نامے
Transliteration: nasab nāme
Doctrine: Avoiding Divisive Controversies
Original: γενεαλογίαι
Category: Covenant

NEW for Titus 3:9 (γενεαλογίαι). Genealogy/lineage-tracing carries real ongoing social significance in South Asian Muslim culture (e.g. sayyid lineage claims); this verse critiques a specific historical speculative controversy, not genealogical record-keeping as such — flag with a brief clarifying note.

Obey Peitharcheo

Approved rendering: فرمانبردار ہونا
Transliteration: farmānbardār honā
Doctrine: Submission to Authority
Original: πειθαρχέω
Category: Ethics

NEW for Titus 3:1 (πειθαρχέω), a paired synonym with ὑποτάσσω, reusing the baseline obedience_of_faith root فرمانبرداری. Lower risk than تابع ہونا’s counterpart since فرمانبردار lacks اطاعت’s specific ulī’l-amr doctrinal weight.

Rulers And Authorities

Approved rendering: حکمران اور اختیار رکھنے والے
Transliteration: ḥukmrān aur ik͟htiyār rakhne wāle
Doctrine: Submission to Authority
Original: ἀρχαὶ καὶ ἐξουσίαι
Category: Ethics

NEW for Titus 3:1 (ἀρχαὶ καὶ ἐξουσίαι), consistent with the baseline’s Romans 13:1-7 flag-for-native-speaker-review rule. In majority-Muslim Urdu-speaking contexts, the legitimacy and religious status of civil rulers is itself a fraught classical debate (khalīfah/imamate); teach as gospel-witness-motivated civic conduct only, never as political theology.

Appeared Epiphaneia

Approved rendering: ظاہر ہوا
Transliteration: ẕāhir huā
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living
Original: ἐπιφαίνω / ἐπεφάνη
Category: Christology

NEW for Titus (ἐπιφαίνω/ἐπεφάνη, 2:11, 13; 3:4). ظاہر is a recognized divine-attribute name in Islamic theology (al-Ẕāhir); genuinely shared, low-friction vocabulary, but must be anchored to the specific, once-for-all historical appearing of grace in Christ (2:11) or his future personal return (2:13), not a generic manifestation-of-divine-attributes concept.

Blessed Hope

Approved rendering: مبارک امید
Transliteration: mubārak ummīd
Doctrine: The Blessed Hope and Second Coming
Original: μακαρία ἐλπίς
Category: Eschatology

NEW for Titus 2:13 (μακαρία ἐλπίς). امید (hope) is safe general vocabulary; must be anchored specifically to Christ’s Second Coming, not a generic sense of optimism.

Philanthropia

Approved rendering: انسانوں سے محبت
Transliteration: insānõ se muḥabbat
Doctrine: Salvation by Grace not Works
Original: φιλανθρωπία
Category: God

NEW for Titus 3:4 (φιλανθρωπία). Must be anchored specifically to God’s initiating, saving love toward humanity revealed in Christ’s appearing (immediately followed by v.5’s salvation account), not allowed to flatten into a generic, detached ‘humanitarianism’ concept.

Trustworthy Saying Formula

Approved rendering: یہ بات سچی اور بھروسے کے لائق ہے
Transliteration: yih bāt sachī aur bharose ke lā’iq hai
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works
Original: πιστὸς ὁ λόγος
Category: Faith

NEW for Titus 3:8 (πιστὸς ὁ λόγος), a fixed Pastoral Epistles formula (cf. 1 Timothy 1:15; 3:1; 4:9; 2 Timothy 2:11) marking a doctrinal summary as reliable. Requires cross-document consistency wherever this formula recurs in future Pastoral Epistles curricula.

Lawlessness Anomia

Approved rendering: سرکشی
Transliteration: sarkashī
Doctrine: Christ’s Atoning Self-Giving
Rejected alternatives: بے شریعتی (needlessly anchors the verse’s general moral-lawlessness sense to the شریعت root reserved for Mosaic Law contrasts)

NEW for Titus 2:14 (ἀνομία). سرکشی (rebellion/lawlessness) avoids invoking شریعت in a verse about moral lawlessness generally, not Torah-observance specifically.

Low Risk Terms

Self Control

Approved rendering: ضبطِ نفس
Transliteration: ẕabt̤-e-nafs
Doctrine: Fruit of the Spirit
Rejected alternatives: نفس (risks importing the Sufi nafs-discipline system)
Original: ἐγκρατής / σωφρόνως
Category: Sanctification

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Reused for ἐγκρατής (1:8) and the σώφρων/σωφρόνως family recurring throughout Titus (1:8; 2:2, 5, 6, 12); must remain distinguished from the Sufi nafs-discipline framework.

Exhort

Approved rendering: نصیحت کرنا
Transliteration: naṣīḥat karnā
Doctrine: Mutual Edification

INHERITED FROM ROMANS/GALATIANS BASELINE, unchanged. Reused at Titus 2:15 (παρακάλει) alongside the new term ملامت کرنا for the stronger ἐλέγχω (‘rebuke’).

Servant Of God

Approved rendering: خدا کا بندہ
Transliteration: k͟hudā kā bandah
Doctrine: Election and Apostolic Commission
Original: δοῦλος θεοῦ
Category: Church

NEW for Titus 1:1 (δοῦλος θεοῦ), Paul’s unique self-designation in this letter alongside ‘apostle.’ بندہ is extremely common, positively resonant devotional vocabulary in Urdu Islamic usage (‘bandah-e-khuda’), a genuine bridge term with low friction.

God Who Never Lies

Approved rendering: خدا جو کبھی جھوٹ نہیں بولتا
Transliteration: k͟hudā jo kabhī jhūṭ nahī̃ boltā
Doctrine: Election and Apostolic Commission
Original: ἀψευδὴς θεός
Category: God

NEW for Titus 1:2 (ἀψευδὴς θεός). Genuinely shared, low-friction ground; Allah’s truthfulness is also an affirmed Islamic divine attribute, useful for teaching God’s promise-keeping faithfulness.

Steward Of God

Approved rendering: خدا کا مہتمم
Transliteration: k͟hudā kā muhtamim
Doctrine: Qualifications for Elders
Original: οἰκονόμος θεοῦ
Category: Church

NEW for Titus 1:7 (οἰκονόμος θεοῦ), the elder’s role managing God’s household affairs. Standard, low-friction administrative-role vocabulary.

Master Despotes

Approved rendering: مالک
Transliteration: mālik
Doctrine: Submission to Authority
Original: δεσπότης
Category: Ethics

NEW for Titus 2:9 (δεσπότης, human master, distinct from κύριος/Lord). Deliberately reuses مالک, the term the baseline explicitly reserves for a human master (rejected only as a substitute for Christ’s Lordship, خداوند) — confirms مالک is the correct, low-risk choice specifically because it stays lexically distinct from خداوند.

Common Faith

Approved rendering: مشترکہ ایمان
Transliteration: mushtarkah īmān
Doctrine: Election and Apostolic Commission

NEW for Titus 1:4 (κοινὴ πίστις, ‘a true child according to a common/shared faith’), compound reusing the baseline ایمان root.

Worldly Desires

Approved rendering: دنیاوی خواہشات
Transliteration: dunyāvī k͟hvāhishāt
Doctrine: Grace That Trains for Godly Living

NEW for Titus 2:12 (κοσμικαὶ ἐπιθυμίαι). Standard, safe vocabulary shared across religious traditions’ ascetic critique of worldliness.

Unfruitful Akarpos

Approved rendering: بےپھل
Transliteration: be-phal
Doctrine: Sound Doctrine and Good Works

NEW for Titus 3:14 (ἄκαρπος), echoing the baseline Galatians fruit_of_the_spirit metaphor family (روح کا پھل).
