• Yakan: «Therefore this is already like my custom/behavior. Even though I want to do good it is as if there is something urging me to do bad and that’s what I do.» (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: «This is always what happens to me; if I want to do good I am hindered by the evil desires in my body.» (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: «Therefore what I have experienced is this. If I want to do what is good, I persist nevertheless in doing what is evil.» (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: «Thus is what happened to me. When I wanted to do good, then it seemed that only the evil which came to my heart is what I did.» (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
