• Yakan: “All we (excl.) wrote to you, you were able to read and to understand. Now you do not yet understand everything about our (excl.) work/doings, but I expect/hope that you will really understand it all, so that you can boast about us (excl.) like/in the same way as we (excl.) will also boast about you when the day of our (incl.) Leader, Isa Almasi’s return comes.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)

Very much do I want that your hearts understand well that all I do is proper.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)

Following are a number of back-translations of 2 Corinthians 4:18:

• Uma: “So, we don’t consider [lit., put-in-heart] what is seeable. What we consider is what is not-yet seeable. For what is seeable is just for-a-while. What is not-yet seeable will last forever.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)

• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Because that which is very deeply placed in our breaths is not the things that we can see here on the earth, but rather they are the things that we cannot yet see which are in Heaven.

• Kankanaey: “Therefore what we think about, it is not what we are able-to-see on the earth but rather what we are not yet able-to-see which is in heaven, for what can-be-seen on the earth, they have an end, but what cannot be seen, they have no end.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “That is why what is dominant in our (excl.) minds/inner-being is, not the things here in the world which can be seen with the eyes, but rather the things in heaven which can’t yet be seen. For the things here in the world, (they) will not last, but the things in heaven, they will last for ever.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “Therefore I do not pay attention to the suffering I go through. That which fills my heart the most is the good which God will give afterwards.
