Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 6:19:

• Uma: “This parable I use so it will be easy for you to understand my teaching. Formerly you were enslaved by sin because you allowed your bodies/selves to follow your evil desires that were not appropriate, with the result that your character became evil indeed. So also at this time, offer your selves/bodies to God so that you become his slaves. The end result is your character will become really straight and your lives holy.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “I illustrate/parable about master and slave so that you will easily understand what I am saying. Formerly you let yourselves indulge in doing (many) kinds of sin and every evil deed, that’s why it was as if you were slaves of your sin. But now you ought to follow whole-heartedly the command of God like his slaves doing what is straight. So-then you are really good now and you whole-heartedly obey/follow God.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “The reason I use for an example the idea of slavery is so you might easily understand what I am teaching you. Long ago it was as if you were in slavery to evil desires and you were pleased to use your bodies in evil and filthy activity, which always increased in evil. However, now you must make your bodies righteous servants of God so that you might obey what He wants.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “I am now using an illustration that people can easily understand, because your faith is not yet mature. Previously, you turned-over all the parts of your bodies to sin in order to do what was filthy and also to increasingly do whatever kind of evil. Now, you must change that so that you totally become-enslaved to righteousness so that you will be holy.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “Concerning this word I speak, I am looking for how I can make comparisons in order that you understand well about it. And now in the days gone by you let evil have its way so that it conquered you, you sinned greatly. But now give yours hearts to doing all that is good in order to do all the work of God.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
