• Yakan: “even though we (excl.) are people worthy to be honored because our (excl.) authority is from Almasi. But we (excl.) cared well for you/treated you well, as if we (excl.) were a woman caring for her children.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)

• Kankanaey: “even though we (excl.) have a right as apostles of Cristo to solicit-praise from you and solicit-contributions for our (excl.) needs, but rather we (excl.) acted-patiently/gently like the way a mother breastfeeds and properly cares-for her children.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “even though our (excl.) authority is big because we (excl.) have indeed been made apostles by Cristo. On the contrary, what we (excl.) were like there with you was a mother who is kindly and easy-going/solicitous with her children.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “Rather, we spoke beautifully in calling you, like a mother does when she cares for her children.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
