gathering, rewards for believers, and grievous punishment for the proud.
evidence_refs:

framing is based on explicit judgment imagery.

and an interpretation in which he descends from heaven and returns to the world.

cautions: This material appears in explanatory notes and reported interpretations,
not only in the main translated verse.
- id: motif:3
label: Contested divine sonship and divine parent-child relation

basis: The passage identifies Jesus as son of Mary and apostle of God while rejecting
the claim that God has a son.

myth.

and that believers are directed in the right way to God.

is a broad fit.

basis: The inheritance section presents God as declaring precepts so that people
do not err and emphasizes that God knows all things.

is tentative.

motif_candidates: medium
comparison_claims: uncertain
notes: The main doctrinal and legal content is explicit. Motif assignment is more
tentative for legal and revelatory themes. No comparison claims were added because
the passage gives doctrinal contrasts and commentary but does not itself support
a specific comparative mythological claim beyond available motif-family tagging.
