Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 8:15:

• Uma: “Formerly, while we were still bound to the Lord’s Law, we were afraid of the punishment of God. But now, we are no longer afraid, because we have received the Holy Spirit. For the Holy Spirit makes us the children of God. And because of the power of that Holy Spirit, we say to God: ‘O Mama! [vocative used by a child when speaking to his/her father] O my Father!'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “Because we (incl.) were given by God his Spirit, we (incl.) no longer have to be afraid like a slave is afraid of his master. But he has given his Spirit to us (incl.) so that we (incl.) become his children. That’s why it is possible for us (incl.) to name God our (incl.) Father.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “For the Holy Spirit, which God gave us, He has not made us slaves which are very much afraid of God, but rather He has made us to be children of God. And by means of the power of the Holy Spirit it’s possible for us to call God our Father.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Because the Spirit whom God has given us has not made us slaves who are afraid to be punished like our previous status, but rather he has made us God’s children. So because of him, it is possible for us to address God as Father.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “Now we are walkers with the Holy Spirit, now it is not necessary that we again fear like a person might fear his boss. Because truly we are God’s children now. The Holy Spirit we walk with is the one who puts in our hearts that we say to God: ‘You are my Father’ we say.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
