Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 2:4:

• Uma: “God’s heart is good, he is patient and his love is long-lasting. But let’s not say in our heart: ‘I don’t need to change my behavior.’ Remember, relatives: the purpose of God’s goodness of heart is so we have opportunity to repent of our sins.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “Just because God pities you and doesn’t seem to do anything about your sin and doesn’t immediately punish you, perhaps you mistakenly-think that you do not have to heed/pay-attention to him. Do you not understand that the reason why God pities you is because perhaps you will regret your sins and change your livers?” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Perhaps you’re thinking mistakenly that since God is very long-suffering and kind, it’s no longer necessary for you to obey His words. But the reason why God is so gracious is because He is leading you so that you might abandon your evil behavior.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Your thoughts concerning God’s great grace/kindness and patience to you are also different (has connotation of improper or incorrect), because you have not understood that God’s reason for showing-you -kindness is so that you will have opportunity to repent of your sins.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “Doesn’t this person realize why it is that God does not at once punish the one who does evil? That person depreciates the grace of God, because God is waiting for the person to separate from evil.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
