  • Yakan: “Because of one man’s not following God’s command, that’s why all human beings are sinful. But because of one person’s following God’s command, that’s why all mankind can be considered straight by God.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Because of the transgression of just one person, many were made sinners; but also because of one person, Jesus Christ, who obeyed what God wanted Him to do, many people can be considered by God as righteous.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
