complete verse (1 Corinthians 6:18)

Following are a number of back-translations of 1 Corinthians 6:18:

  • Uma: “Don’t dare do wrong [sexual] behavior, relatives! Of [lit., From] all sins that mankind does, there is no other sin that wrecks/makes-bad our life like the sin of wrong behavior. Whoever behaves wrongly with the wife of another or with an unmarried woman, that sin wrecks/makes-bad his own life.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Amey-amey listen, don’t commit adultery/fornication, because that sin is really bad. Other sins don’t do anything to the body of the person, but if a person commits adultery he sins against his own body.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Really avoid desiring someone who is not your wife because that is a very bad sin. Other sins are bad also, but they are not by means of the body. That kind of filthy activity, that can really destroy us (incl.) because it’s by means of our bodies.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Therefore don’t be sleeping-with someone who is not your spouse. Distance yourselves from sins like that. Because the way this sin destroys the body, it is different from the way other sins do, because the one who commits-adultery, it is his own body that he is sinning-against.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Therefore always put far away every kind of immoral-behavior with one not your (sing.) spouse. For this sin, (it’s) different from every other kind of sin that people commit. Because through this behaving-immorally with one not your spouse, you use what is as-it-were a part of the body of Cristo to sin with (one who is) not part of his body.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “Do not commit adultery. There are many other sins that people commit, but the adulterer spoils his own body.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
