Cross-Reference Analysis

Internal Romans cross-references requiring consistent rendering

• Romans 1:17 and 3:21-22: “righteousness of God” (sự công bình) must be rendered identically in both places; the argument of the letter depends on the reader recognizing the same concept reappearing.
• Romans 1:3-4 and 9:5: the Davidic-lineage and deity-of-Christ language in the letter’s opening must match its restatement in chapter 9, since both anchor the same messianic-promise argument.
• Romans 4 and Genesis 15:6 (Abraham credited righteousness): the imputed-righteousness vocabulary introduced in Romans 4 should visibly connect back to the Genesis narrative when that passage is cross-referenced, reinforcing that this is not a New Testament invention.
• Romans 8:15 and Galatians 4:6 (both use “Abba, Father”): the transliterated Áp-ba should be preserved identically wherever the Aramaic term recurs across translated curriculum documents, not just within Romans.

External cross-references likely to appear in teaching notes

• Isaiah 53 (Suffering Servant) supports the messianic-promise doctrine in Romans 1:2-4; Vietnamese Bible citation Ê-sai 53 should be used consistently.
• Psalm 32 (blessedness of forgiven sin) is quoted in Romans 4:7-8; ensure the Bản Dịch Truyền Thống’s existing Psalm (Thi Thiên) wording is reused rather than re-translated independently.
• Habakkuk 2:4 (“the righteous will live by faith”) is the thesis quotation of Romans 1:17; its Vietnamese Bible rendering must match exactly between Habakkuk (Ha-ba-cúc) and Romans citations.

Note on numbering

Vietnamese print Bibles use Arabic numerals for chapter and verse, matching the YouVersion reference system used across the whole pipeline, so no numeral-system conversion note is required.
