Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 1:17:

• Uma: “In the Good news God tells us the way to become straight in his sight. The way is only by faith in God , there is no other way. As is written in the Holy Book long ago: ‘The people who are straight in God’s sight, they are the people who get good life forever because of their faith.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “From this good news we (dual) know as to how (it is/what is needed) in order for God to consider human beings as straight. They must only/simply trust whole-heartedly/entirely in Isa Almasi. It is written in the holy-book about this, saying, ‘Whoever trusts in God, God considers straight and he will live.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “For by means of the Good News, God makes known to us the way that he can regard us as righteous. And this way is only by means of faith. For there is a written word of God which says, ‘The person who is made righteous by means of his faith, he is the one who will be given life forever.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Because this good news, it makes-known God’s plan to make-people -righteous in his sight. This righteousness from God, it is based on faith alone. Because this indeed also is what God caused-to-be-written which says, ‘The person whom God has made-righteous on account of his faith, he has life that has no end.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “This good news causes our hearts to understand that God clears the sins of people just by their believing. It is like it says in the Holy Book, it says: ‘He who believes in God is that one who gets his sins cleared and is given a new life.'” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)

Central Mazahua: “The good words show us how God can say now we are right (good). That God will say we are right (good) it is necessary that we put (plant) him in our hearts and continually we will believe-obey him. Thus says the good words: the one who will plant God in his heart and God will say he is now right, that one will live always.” (Source: Waterhouse / Parrott in Notes on Translation October 1967, p. 1ff.)
