Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 12:31:

  • Uma: “So, so that you know: All of mankind’s sins and words of rejection may be forgiven. If there is a person who rejects me, that I am the Child of Mankind, his wrong may still be forgiven. But if he rejects the Holy Spirit, there is no forgiveness, whether at this time or in the future.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
