| 1:18 | εκ πνευματοϲ αγιου : from spirit holy | [from spirit holy] – anarthrous and lowercased, consistent with the book-wide translation convention of rendering the spirit as God's empowering presence. |
| 1:20 | αγγελοϲ κυριου : angel of-Lord | [angel of-Lord] – the angel is sent by the one God of Israel; the capitalised title follows the book-wide translation convention that reserves the capital-L form for God. |
| 1:20 | εκ πνευματοϲ αγιου : from spirit holy | [from spirit holy] – the same rendering as v. 18: the child's conception is the work of God's empowering presence, lowercased throughout. |
| 1:21 | ιηϲουν:Jesus | [Jesus] – retained as a theophoric name declaring God's saving action ("he will save his people from their sins"), reflecting the name-theology framework in which the name carries the sender's delegated authority. |
| 1:22 | υπο κυριου : by Lord | [by Lord] – the word spoken through the prophet comes from the one God of Israel; the capitalised title marks God as the source of the scripture being fulfilled. |
| 1:24 | αγγελοϲ κυριου : angel of-Lord | [angel of-Lord] – as in v. 20, the angel comes from the one God of Israel, and the title is capitalised accordingly. |
| 1:25 | ιηϲουν:Jesus | [Jesus] – the naming completes the angel's instruction; within the book's name-theology framework, in which the name carries the sender's delegated authority, the name continues to declare God's saving action through the child. |

| 2:2 | προϲκυνηϲαι:to-do-obeisance | [to-do-obeisance] – the Magi's homage to the newborn king; the book-wide translation convention distinguishes royal homage from the cultic worship offered to the one God alone, so the verb is rendered "do-obeisance". |
| 2:8 | προϲκυνηϲω:may-do-obeisance | [may-do-obeisance] – Herod's professed intention to honour the child keeps the same royal-homage rendering. |
| 2:11 | προϲεκυνηϲαν:did-obeisance | [did-obeisance] – the Magi's homage at the house; the consistent royal-homage rendering marks the child as the king to whom honour is given. |

| 3:2 | η βαϲιλεια των ουρανων : the kingdom of-the heavens | [the kingdom of-the heavens] – the plural "heavens" preserves the Hebrew idiom for the one God's reign; the book-wide translation convention keeps the plural form of the designation. |

| 4:1 | διαβολου:devil | [devil] – lowercased: the tempter is a creature, not a rival deity; the book-wide translation convention keeps the title lowercase. |
| 4:3 | υιοϲ:son | [son] – the tempter's conditional "if you are son of-the God" tests a functional royal-messianic title; lowercased throughout, in line with the book-wide translation convention for this title. |
| 4:5 | διαβολοϲ:devil | [devil] – the narrator's label for the tempter remains lowercased. |
| 4:6 | υιοϲ:son | [son] – the second testing clause repeats the conditional royal-son title; still lowercased. |
| 4:7 | κυριον:Lord | [Lord] – capitalised because the one God of Israel is the referent in the Deuteronomic citation; the book-wide translation convention reserves the capital-L form for the one God. |
| 4:8 | διαβολοϲ:devil | [devil] – the tempter shows the world's kingdoms; the lowercased title continues. |
| 4:9 | προϲκυνηϲηϲ:you-do-obeisance | [you-do-obeisance] – the gesture offered to the devil is royal homage, not worship; the book-wide translation convention renders the gesture toward the devil as "do-obeisance". |
| 4:10 | ϲατανα:Adversary | [Adversary] – capitalised as a title of direct address; the book-wide translation convention distinguishes this title from the lowercased "devil". |
| 4:10 | κυριον:Lord | [Lord] – as in v. 7, the one God of Israel is the referent; capital-L. |
| 4:10 | προϲκυνηϲειϲ:you-will-worship | [you-will-worship] – the only proper object of worship is the one God of Israel; the book-wide translation convention reserves "worship" for this exclusive cultic act. |
