- Uma: “If we give our money to be lent out only to people that we know will be able to return it to us, God will not bless us. Even evil people also want their fellow evil people to borrow from them, because they trust them to return [things] to them later.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “And if you only lend to those whom you expect to have the means to pay it back, is there anything to praise you for? There isn’t. For even the sinful people who lend to their fellow sinners expect that they get paid back what they lent.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And if you only lend to people who you know will be able to pay you back, don’t you think that God will reward you, for even the transgressor people, they lend to their companions who are transgressors, if they know that they will be able to pay back what they owe.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “And if you only lend (lit. cause-to-borrow) to those whom you know will return what they borrow, will you be rewarded do-you-suppose?

- Tagbanwa: “Well, if you only lend to those people of whom you are sure that they will be able to pay you back, well, what more reward are you waiting for? For even sinners indeed lend to those of whom they have certainty of being able to pay back.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
Following are a number of back-translations of Luke 6:35:
- Noongar: “No! Love people who hate you and do good to them. Give things to people and do not want people giving things back. Then you will be given many things and you will become children of God. Because God also does good to people who do not thank him and also to very bad people.” (Source: Warda-Kwabba Luke-Ang)
- Uma: “‘Don’t [be] like that! We must love our enemies, behave well to them. Give to whomever want to borrow from us, and don’t trust/expect its return.

Because the Lord is generous to people who don’t know how to say thank you and to evil people.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “But this is what I teach to you: Love your enemies and help them. If someone wants to borrow from you, let him borrow, don’t expect his payment.

- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “The thing that I teach you is, do not allow your enemies to be bad in your breath, but you do good to them. If there is a person who borrows from you, don’t put it in your breath that it is necessary that he pay you back; if you obey this, you will show that you are the children of the very high God, and very big will be His reward to you, because even the people whose custom is bad, and those who do not thank Him, God pities them just the same.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “It is not those-things that you should do but rather you should also love your enemies and moreover do good to them.

Because as for God, he is merciful to people who are bad and who don’t know-how to thank him.'” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: “What really is good is, value your opponents, and to do good to them. Lend without ensuring that they can pay back. For as long as you will do like this, it’s certain that the reward you will receive will be big, and it will be clear that you are children of God who is Much the Greatest/most-important. Because he indeed shows grace/mercy to those who are ungrateful (lit. don’t know how to give thanks) and those whose nature/ways are evil.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
