complete verse (Romans 3:1)

Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 3:1:

  • Uma: “The Jews and the non-Jews are just the same, they are all guilty in God’s sight. But let’s not say/think like this, the Jews are not more blessed/fortunate than other people and there is no value to their custom of circumcision.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “Perhaps someone says that there is no good/advantage if we (dual) are of the Yahudi tribe/nation and if we (dual) follow the custom of circumcision.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And if that’s the case, it seems as if there is no value in our (excl.) being Jews and there’s also no value in our religious practice of circumcision.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Perhaps, you are saying to yourselves (lit. with your minds), ‘What then is the advantage/superiority (lit. place-of-distinguishing) of the Jew over the Gentile? Is there also no use for our getting-circumcised?'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “Concerning this word I speak, I am not saying that it is of no value in what God did in choosing the Jew and commanding them to be marked with circumcision.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
