Or what your goodness benefit God?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Even if you are righteous, what pleasure does this give to The Almighty?
Or would making your ways perfect be of any benefit to Him?” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “Can you (sing.) please the Almighty God if you (sing.) are-righteous? Can he get-(something) from you (sing.) if your (sing.) life is without blame?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

If you had lived a perfect life/never done anything that is wrong, would that help him?” (Source: Translation for Translators)
