Romans 1.

And so, antiquity brought us a backwards, clumsily edited bit:

"I am in debt to both the Greek and the Barbarian.

I have been entrusted with Gospel, which is the salvation of the Greek and the Barbarian."

In my side project, a Holy text paraphrase, the process has helped me to find new shades of meaning in the text and look plainly upon the ancient language.

I paraphrase thusly:

"I owe them the truth.

I have witnessed closely the good news for all, both the original Chosen, and the remnant of mankind.

Salvation belongs to all as of late, because the new promise is not limited by statutes or doctrines.
