complete verse (Romans 12:3)

Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 12:3:

  • Uma: “Since God has given me the position [lit., seat] as his apostle [messenger], that’s why I advise every one of you: let’s not make our hearts high [i.e., proud], more than what is actual/true. We must be clear-hearted [lit., aware, mature], thinking about our own lives according to the measure of faith that God has divided to each one of us.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “As for me I was given by God power/authority to preach/teach that’s why I say to you all: Don’t (pl.) think that you are really great but estimate/think (of yourselves) only up to what is proper. Because God is the one who gives you skill/expertise because of your trusting in Isa Almasi.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And since God has given me the authority to spread his word, I say unto all of you that it’s necessary that you not think that you are greater than your companions. But rather, it’s necessary that you think properly about your ability according to the faith that God has given to each one of you.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Because of my authority as an apostle that God has given me, I advise each one of you that you not make-high your opinion of the-kind-of-person you are but rather your opinion of yourselves ought to be exactly right based on the skill or ability that God has given to each of you because of your faith.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “God did the favor that he gave me the authority that I tell you what you should do. No one must want some other work that is more higher than the work God has given him. Rather he should judge well in order to know which work he was given to do.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
