complete verse (Romans 3:27)

Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 3:27:

  • Uma: “So, there is no longer a way for us to make our hearts high [proud]. For God does not receive us because of our good behavior. He receives us because of our faith in the Lord Yesus.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Yakan: “So-then if it is like this, do we (dual) have something to boast about in the sight of God? Really there is nothing! For we (dual) are considered straight by God not because of our (dual) following the law but because of our (dual) trusting in Isa Almasi.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Therefore, there’s nothing that anyone can boast about. We cannot say that the reason we (incl.) are considered righteous by God is because we obeyed the Law, for the reason God accepts us is our faith in Jesus.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “Therefore it is absolutely impossible for us to boast of our righteousness, because God’s counting us as righteous was not on account of our obeying his law but rather because of our believing in Jesu Cristo.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “So now, where is the word of those who boast, saying that they have some good which they have done to clear their sins? There is nothing to be seen. Because that which saves our souls is not that we have done what is said in the law. Rather that which saves our souls is the faith we have.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
  • Huehuetla Tepehua: “Well, since this is what God has done for us, can anyone be proud of anything good that he has done? No. Well, why can’t he be proud of anything good that he has done? He can’t because God can’t see us as if we were straight even if we try to do what his law says. Only can he see us as if we were straight when we put our confidence in Jesus.” (Source: Waterhouse / Parrott in Notes on Translation October 1967, p. 1ff.)
