Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 6:13:
- Uma: “Our bodies let us not treat as things to use to do sin and evil deeds. We offer our lives to God, since we are released from death and have received new life. Offer our bodies to God so that our bodies we use to do straight deeds.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “Don’t let yourselves indulge/give-into sinning so that you do evil. But follow/obey God whole-heartedly because it is figuratively as if you have died and now are made alive again by God. Let God be the one to rule your bodies so that you do straight/righteous (things).” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Let us not use any part of our body to do evil, but rather let us allow that the one who controls us is God, because this is fitting to us (incl.) who have been freed from death and have been given new life. And let us allow that the one who uses our body is God so that we might do what is right.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Neither must we turn-over even any part of our bodies to sin so that it will be used to do evil, but rather let us offer ourselves/our bodies to God and turn-over all the parts of our bodies to him so that they will be used to do good, because that is what is fitting for people who are like already-dead to whom God has given new life.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “We must not give the road to our hearts to do sin. Rather let us give our hearts to God to do the good. Because now anew we live again.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
