Following are a number of back-translations of Galatians 3:6:

  • Yakan: “Think of Ibrahim of old. It is written in the holy-book, it says, ‘Ibrahim believed God’s promise to him. Because of that his belief he was considered straight by God.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “It’s just like this what happened to Abraham, our ancestor long ago. Because there’s a written word of God which says, ‘He believed what God said and because of this, God accepted Abraham and considered him to be righteous.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Consider also what God caused-to-be-written concerning Abraham which says, ‘Abraham believed/obeyed what God said, so God counted him as righteous.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Remember Abraham. His trust and belief in God were genuine, therefore he was recognized as righteous/straight.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “Like I am telling you now, the same is written in the Holy Book, which says: ‘Abraham believed that it was true that it would happen as God said. And because of the faith he had, God took care of his sins.'” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
