Zeal Alone Does Not Save
Religious zeal by itself does not establish that a person is right with God. Paul desired Israel's salvation and testified that they had 'a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.' Their zeal did not excuse refusing God's righteousness. Sincerity, intensity, tradition, or religious devotion must therefore be governed by the truth God has revealed and by obedient submission to Him.
PASS — the working master preserves the detailed original-source foundation, retains the two approved copyright replacements, and carries the complete 810-record canonical framework through safely integrated topic metadata plus the independent remaining-record section.
No further record needs to be discarded or forced under an uncertain original heading. The next cleanup should be publication formatting only: remove internal pass/accounting notes from the reader-facing master while leaving all substantive original and canonical content intact.
