complete verse (Philippians 3:14)

Following are a number of back-translations of Philippians 3:14:

  • Uma: “Relatives all, I admit that I am not yet holy with no sin. But [there is] one thing I do: I forget all that I have turned my back on, and I exert-effort to strive/aim-for that which I face. I am like a person who is racing: I do not look-back-at what is behind me, I keep running striving/aiming-for what I am heading-toward. I exert-effort to follow the will of God, so that I will get the victory reward that he will give me in heaven–for that is why he called me to be connected with Kristus Yesus.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “I continue to strive so that I will receive the good/blessing which God gives to me. This good/blessing is everlasting life. I was called/summoned by God so that he could give this life to me because I trust in Isa Almasi.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “I will continue on so that I might obtain the reward of God, because this is the reason why He called us (incl.) to enter into His kingdom by means of our (incl.) being made one with Jesus Christ.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “I put-forth my efforts (lit. ability) in order that I will arrive at what can-be-compared to the end of the race-course so that I will enjoy/gain the reward that God will give to all he has invited/called to join him in heaven because of Cristo Jesus.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “What I am like is a competitor who is using all his strength just so that he will win, that he will be able to receive the prize. Well as for me, I am striving to be able to go to heaven so that I will be able to receive there his reward which God has determined that he will give me because of my being united/tied-together with Cristo Jesus.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “When it has been completed that I have done all that God has called me to do, and nothing is lacking, there in heaven I will be given my pay because I walk now with Christ.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
