Following are a number of back-translations of John 15:15:

- Yakan: «Now I am no longer calling you my servants, for to servants it is not explained as to what their master is going to do. But you, I have already explained to you all that my Father has told me. Therefore I call you already my friends.» (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: «I will no longer name you my servants, because as for a servant, the master does not tell him what the master is going to do.
