Following are a number of back-translations of 1 Corinthians 3:19:

• Uma: “For what mankind says is cleverness is just stupidity in the sight of God. It is written in the Holy Book long ago like this: ‘No matter how clever and scheming mankind/people are, the Lord God will always defeat them.'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “Because the wisdom of people in this world is of no use in the estimation of God. For it is written in the holy-book, it says, ‘The underlying-reason is from God that the person with deep wisdom figuratively traps himself.'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “For the wisdom here on the earth, it has no value to God because His wisdom is very much higher. For there is a written word of God which says, ‘The wisdom of a wise man that he uses to scorn other people, that will be the very thing which causes him to kick the trigger of God’s trap.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Because the wisdom that is worldly, it is of no value in God’s estimation. Because there is that which God caused-to-be-written which says, ‘What God uses to defeat wise people, it is their own craftiness.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “Because that which the world considers to be good wisdom/understanding, which does not recognize God, (it is) of no account in his sight. For it says in the writings of long ago, ‘Those who are really adept in the nature/ways of deception, God will set in motion that that deception of theirs is what will snare them.'” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “Because the wisdom of the people here on earth who do not know God is not worth anything in the face, the eye of God. It says in the Holy Book, ‘God causes that concerning the person who says he understands by himself the word he knows, there will be no benefit derived from the word he understands.'” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)

Following are a number of back-translations of 1 Corinthians 5:7:

• Uma: “When the Yahudi people do the custom of Paskah Feast, they remove yeast from their houses, and they slaughter their substitutionary/redemptive sheep. Like the Yahudi people remove yeast from their houses, so also you must remove the sinning person from your fellowship, so that you will become God’s holy people–for you are indeed God’s people, relatives. For Kristus has died as our Paskah sheep to redeem us.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “Therefore you should remove that old yeast, that means your bad doings so that there won’t be any bad there with you. If you do this you are/will-be figuratively a new dough not mixed with yeast. I know that you are already clean/holy because you trust in Isa Almasi. Isa Almasi hep died to cause our (incl.) sins to be done away with and he is figuratively like the sheep slaughtered by the Yahudi at the time of the Feast for Remembering God’s Passing by.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “It’s necessary that you remove from yourselves that old yeast which is the former evil-doings, so that there is no evil there among you. If you obey this, you’ll be like the new bread which has no yeast. I know that you are already like this because of your faith in Christ. Because as for Christ, He is like a young sheep which is sacrificed on the Passover Feast, because He was sacrificed so that we might be set free.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “It is necessary then that you stop your bad behavior that is compared to yeast so that your behavior will become like your clean status in God’s estimation. You must do that so that you will be compared to just-cooked bread that has no yeast that is used-in-conjunction-with (lit. companioned-with) the sheep that the Jews butcher at the fiesta called Passed-By. Because Cristo who is the illustration of that sheep has already died to set-us -free from sin.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “Yes indeed, remove now all your ways which are contrary to God’s will so that your lives may be renewed. For is it not so that God now regards you as people who now have no sin? His estimation of us is like this because of our believing-in/obeying Cristo, he who was made to be like a sheep which was sacrificed so that we would be passed-by by God’s punishment because of our sins. This is the fulfillment of what is alluded to in that fiesta of us (excl.) Jews in the past that is called Passed-by.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “Therefore, throw outside the man who did the sin, in order that he will not spoil other people. Because he still hasn’t spoiled the thoughts of the people. Christ now has died to clear our sins, like when a sacrifice is made on the Passover celebration.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)

Following are a number of back-translations of 1 Corinthians 7:6:

• Yakan: “So-then, I say you can take a wife or a husband, but it is not that I command you to.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)

• Tenango Otomi: “This word I told you is only that I told you the people can marry. But I do not command that it is imperative that people marry.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
