This table adds two research columns. Original-language expressions are provisional identifiers, not a claim that every English rendering maps one-to-one to a single word. Where wording varies by reference, textual form, or translation, this is noted; unverified entries are left unassigned rather than guessed. Classification describes the kind of evidence represented by the cited reference and does not by itself settle the theological interpretation.
