complete verse (Philippians 3:3)

Following are a number of back-translations of Philippians 3:3:

  • Uma: “We [emphatic] are the ones who are straight in God’s sight, we who worship him because of the leading of the Spirit of God, we are proud [our hearts are big] because we are connected with Kristus Yesus. We do not trust-in customs that are just seen/visible in order to become straight in God’s sight.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “But we (incl.), the ones trusting in Isa Almasi, we (incl.) are the people that God accepts, not they, because we (incl.) honor God because of the help of God’s Spirit in our (incl.) livers. And we (incl.) are glad because we (incl.) belong to Isa Almasi. And what we trust in is not/we (incl.) do not trust what is done to our (incl.) bodies like that circumcision.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “We (incl.) and not they, are the true subjects of God. For by means of the Holy Spirit we (incl.) worship God and we rejoice because of our (incl.) relationship to Jesus Christ. Let us not put our confidence in earthly behavior like circumcision.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “But the truth-of-it is, we are the ones whom God counts as circumcised, not they, because as for us, we praise/worship God with the power of his Spirit. We also boast-about Cristo Jesus. We don’t rely-on circumcision and other laws or customs that people say must be followed.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “But the truth is, it’s not they but we who are the true people of God. For as for our worshipping of God, it’s through the help of the Espiritu Santo who indwells our body. And we are really pleased/happy with Cristo Jesus, that he really is the one we are trusting-in/relying-on, not the things done by people like following/obeying laws.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “Because concerning us, our mark is that we worship God with all our hearts. Now we rejoice that we are companions with Jesus Christ. We know that it is not possible that we hunt for ourselves how we will be saved.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
