I applaud the translation team for deciding to remove the archaic language that pervaded the older versions of The Message. I've discovered that there are a few remaining archaic words which may have been overlooked. One is the use of the word unto. This word is typically paired with woe as in "Woe unto you". It appears that most of the uses of unto have been correctly replaced with to, but a few may have been missed. The word woe on the other hand, while not considered archaic, seems a bit so to me, however, I'm not sure an adequate substitute is available or desired by your team?
Thanks... Gary
