Following are a number of back-translations of Romans 8:7:
- Uma: “People who follow the evil desires of their heart oppose God. They do not submit to his commands because they are naturally unable to submit to his commands.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “Because if a person, what he always thinks of is to obey/follow what his greedy-desire wants, he opposes God. He does not obey God’s law and he really can’t obey (it).” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “If a person is controlled by the evil desires of his body, he is an enemy of God because he does not obey the commands of God and that’s not all, because he cannot obey them.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “Because the person who concentrates his mind on his evil desires opposes God. He doesn’t obey God’s law, and the truth of it is, he is not able to obey it.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “So now, the people who only want to do what is evil are enemies of God. Because they do not want to obey what is said in God’s law, they are not able to obey it even.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
