Meta24 paraphrase of the Modern Mystic paraphrase Bible.

 Meta.AI paraphrase of Modern Mystic version of Bible.


Romans 1


I owe a debt of gratitude to people from all backgrounds, both Greeks and non-Greeks, wise and unwise alike.

I'm unapologetic about the good news of Christ, which is the powerful message of God's free gift of salvation to everyone who believes - first to the Jews, then to the Greeks.

This message reveals God's righteousness, which is accessible through faith. As the scripture says, "The righteous shall live by faith."

On the other hand, God's wrath is directed towards those who suppress the truth about evil, and those who refuse to acknowledge God's existence.

Despite this, God's presence is evident among them, and He has made His truth known to them.


From the moment of creation, the invisible aspects of God's nature are clearly evident in the world around us. His power and supremacy are on display, leaving humanity without any valid excuses for ignoring Him.

Ironically, both the self-proclaimed wise and the foolish have become absurd in their own ways. They've exchanged the glory of the all-powerful, incorruptible God for mere human images and idols, revering creatures like birds, animals, and even insects instead.

God allowed them to follow their own desires, succumbing to impurity, lust, and self-degradation. They abandoned their reverence for God and ignored the knowledge of Him. As a result, they became devoid of genuine understanding, broke their commitments, and showed no empathy or compassion.

Many were aware that their actions were sinful and led to destruction, yet they indulged in them anyway and even took pleasure in encouraging others to do the same. Despite knowing the truth about God, they chose to ignore it, leaving them without a valid defense.


Romans 2


None among us have a reason to judge another; when we condemn others we condemn ourselves: we have done the very same things that we accuse and condemn in others.


Do you judge and condemn others, having done the same things yourself, hoping you will escape by calling upon God’s mercy and patience?  


God’s kindness is meant to lead you to salvation, change and regeneration.  God judges, and shows no impartiality, and his standard with regard to the evil secrets of men is the measuring benchmark of sinless Jesus Christ.


Know God’s will.


Guide the blind.


Light the darkness of others.


Correct the foolish.


Teach children, and embody heart-knowledge and head-knowledge.


Let your praise be from and to God, not of men.


And while you are teaching others, do you teach yourself?
