So that if/when it is really clear that you have faith, you will be praised, honored and exalted [lit., made high] when Yesus Kristus come again to this earth.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “The troubles that have come to you are for testing your faith in God if it is true or not. It’s parable is gold. Gold will be destroyed like all other things in this world.

If you really trust in him you will be praised and honored when the day of Isa Almasi’s return comes.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)

Therefore it is also necessary that your faith be confirmed, because it is more-valuable than gold. And if/when the trueness of your faith is seen, God will approve, honor and acknowledge you on the day when-Jesu Cristo -appears.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)

But as for gold, even though it’s an expensive thing, it can indeed be destroyed, for it’s only fitted-for-the-world. Your believing/obeying is really much more precious than gold, therefore it indeed needs to be made sure of. And then, when this believing/obeying of yours has now been tested and will be observed to be really holding fast, you will be praised and honored at the returning of Jesu-Cristo.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “Because you will pass through suffering in order that your faith will be tested. God is very valuable and it perishes. But this gold is tested by fire as to whether it is pure or not. Well in God’s sight your faith is more valuable than gold. When you pass through suffering and truly you believe in God, then you will be well spoken of and God will raise you up in honor at the day when Jesus Christ comes.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
