• Tagbanwa: “For as for this Epafrodito, he really risked his life (lit. body).

• Tenango Otomi: “You see that he was on the verge of death because he was doing the work of Christ in that he was helping me. He gave himself to suffer in helping me, doing that which you were not able to do for me.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
