Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 16:25:

• Uma: “Whoever clings-to/insists-on his own desires, he will not receive good life. But whoever lets go of his own desires because of his following Me, even if it means his death, he will receive good life.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “For,’ said Isa, ‘if a person values his life he has no everlasting life. But if a person does not value his life and submits yet to dying because he steadfastly follows me, na that person has life forever.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “For if there is a person who gets his heart on his life, he will die just the same. But if there is a person who follows me, even if it’s the death of him, God will return to him his life, and he will never again die forever.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)

• Tagbanwa: “For the one who really values his life, it will indeed be lost to him. But the one who holds fast to me even though it may cause his life/breath to be severed, life which is far-from-ordinary really will be his.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “The person who separates from me because he is afraid to be killed, is the person who will lose his soul. But the person who does not turn back from believing in me even though he is killed because of me, is the person who will save his soul.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
