Romans 1:: distillate and clarifications(updated)

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."

It had came across a cataract of centuries.  From Greek, to Latin, to German, to Middle English.  The Middle English translators were all to happy to edit in a sentence with the ideas in reverse order, obviously, then separate the sentences for readability.

In my side project, 

a Holy text paraphrase

(called variously the Three Degrees Text or the Modern Mystic translation) 

the process squeezebox-distillation 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."  

But that was not so concise as one would like, so some pittance to brevity and precision offered, plus a doctrinal clarification.

Necessitating thus:

I owe them the truth:

Faith has already won;

I have witnessed closely the good news for all, both the original Chosen, and the remnant of mankind.  The distinctions between the peoples are already obliterated by God.

Salvation belongs to all as of late, because the new promise is not limited by statutes or doctrines.  The distinctions between the factions have already been vanquished by God, from faith to faith, offering illumination to all the various labyrinths of belief across the land.

Faith binds them all into one.
