- Kankanaey: “‘Listen, you who ridicule, because I will do something in your lifetime that will be an amazement to you, but you will nevertheless die, because you do not believe that it will be done, even though there is someone who-tells-it correctly to you.’ ‘ That was the ending of what Pablo said to them.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “which says, ‘Listen to this, you who habitually-insult. You really will be amazed at what will come to you which will cause your downfall/being-permanently-lost.

- Yakan: “So-then while Isa was still teaching/preaching, he said, ‘Avoid/stay-away-from the teachers of the religious law.

- Kankanaey: “Because Abraham was thinking that God was able to make-Isaac -live again. And it’s as if he did make-him-live again, because if God had not stopped Abraham, he would have carried-through and killed that son of his.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “Because sticking-into the mind/inner-being of Abraham was his trust that even though Isaac were to die now, God would indeed make-him-live. And even though Abraham did not in fact go through with killing (him) because God forbade him, you could say that it’s really like Isaac just came alive again.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “Therefore Abraham believed that God truly has power to cause that anew Isaac would live when he had been dead. But since it happened that Isaac did not die, it can be said that anew he lived because Abraham had already determined to kill him.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
