- Yakan: “My brothers who trust in Isa Almasi, I know that because you really trust in Isa Almasi your liver is already encouraged.

You love each other already and you have pity/mercy for your fellow-trusters in Isa.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)

- Tagbanwa: “Well, does your being united/tied-together with Cristo give you encouragement (lit.strengthening of your mind/inner-being)? Is the big-size of this valuing of his able to make you happy?

- Tenango Otomi: “It is Christ who strengthens you. That he loves you is what puts peace in your hearts. It is the Holy Spirit with whom you walk. And now you have kindness and are merciful.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
