Following are a number of back-translations of Revelation 3:12:

On their bodies I will write the name of God my Father and the name of the village of God my Father, that is the new Yerusalem that comes down to here from heaven from God my Father. So also I will write my new name on their bodies.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “Whoever is not carried-along by temptation/the tempters I will make him great/honor him in the presence of my God. He will remain there and really not leave forever. I will write there on his body/him the name of my God and the name of God’s city, that is the one called the new Awrusalam. That is the city that will come down from heaven, from my God. I will also write there on his body/him my new name.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Whoever overcomes Satan, I will cause him to be respected, for I will make him to be like a post in the house in heaven where My God is worshipped which is not removed from there.

I will write on his body the name of my God and also the name of the city which is new Jerusalem, this which will come from heaven, which God will cause to descend.
