“I shudder to think what extra words the Message put in Romans 5 to make that square up.”
Although it is hard to believe, “woman was deceived first – our pioneer in sin!” is NOT the worst part of this translation. It is “with Adam right on her heels”. Why? Because it makes Adam “deceived second”! The message says exactly the opposite of what Paul says, which is that the man was not deceived!
