However, critics rightly note the danger of paraphrase. By simplifying complex Greek tenses or Hebrew poetic structures into modern slang, El Mensaje inevitably flattens theological nuance. For instance, the Pauline concept of dikaiosynē (righteousness/justice) carries legal, relational, and ethical weight. A paraphrase might render it simply as "doing the right thing," losing the forensic (legal) declaration of innocence that is central to Protestant theology. Consequently, most evangelical scholars strongly warn against using El Mensaje as a primary or study text, recommending it only as a secondary, devotional companion to a formal translation.
