Following are a number of back-translations of Mark 7:21:
- Uma: “From the heart of mankind appears evil thinking, with the result that there are those who behave wrongly with women or with men, steal, kill,” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “Because from inside a person, from his liver, come out his bad thoughts, for-committing-illicit-sex, for-stealing and for-killing.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And Jesus said again, ‘The thing which can cause God to be displeased with a person is that which comes out from his breath, for out of his breath comes evil thinking, sex relations with someone not his spouse, stealing, murder, jealousy, harmful action, cheating, vulgar deeds, envy, destroying the good name of his companions, making himself higher, and wickedness.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Because the mind/thoughts of a person is the source of all evil intentions. And evil intentions are what direct a person to do evil like these: to sleep-with someone not one’s spouse, to steal, to murder, to commit-adultery,” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “Because all evil thinking comes from the mind/inner-being of a person, which leads a person into doing these. Firstly, doing already when not yet married what only married people are allowed to do. And these also, stealing, killing,” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
