Many new versions corrupt Rom 15:16 and make it sound like Paul is performing the Catholic Mass.
Here is the King James Bible. When was Paul a priest? The RCC priests perform the mass and have the eucharist and the cup. For the RCC the mass and specifically the wafer and cup are the center of their gospel. Many new versions also change "the gospel of Christ" to "the gospel" in Romans 1:16. This allows for the change in Rom 15:16 to argue for the mass as the gospel.
That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. - Romans 15:16, KJB
Here is the NASB.
to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the gospel of God, so that my offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. - Romans 15:16, NASB
Here is the RSV.
to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. - Romans 15:16, RSV
Even worse the RCC says that it is a sacrifice. See 1414 of the RCC Catechism. So note the RSV version.
Of course the word of God is against this.
20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. - 1 Cor 10:20-21
And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: - Hebrews 10:11
Vaticanus is missing the above verse.
And almost all new versions corrupt 1 Cor 10:20 by changing "Gentiles" to "pagans" in that verse.
