  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And He said again, ‘Write to the angel of God who watches over the believers there in the town of Philadelphia, and say, ‘I am Jesus who speaks, the faithful one chosen by God. I have been given the power My kingdom like the ruling long ago of King David. If I open the door for someone so that I might enter into My kingdom, it cannot be closed by anyone. And if there is a person I shut out, it cannot also be opened by anyone.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
