English term

believe

English to Tagalog Art/Literary Religion genres
Context: "BELIEVE that Jesus Christ died on the cross in your place."

This is part of a text that arranges 4 bullet points as "A, B, C, and D"

The BELIEVE sentence comes as the "B". Ideally, it should begin with a "B". (Not to worry, "C" has been substituted by a "K" and the last point is practically moot).

This was the problem left. Before I give up on it, I decided to ask the community if they had any ideas of "B" synonyms for "MANIWALA".

buong pusong maniwala

I can’t think of any possible synonyms. But, what if you use a modifier instead? For example, “buong puso” or similar.

manalig

The religion-related sense of the source word *believe* pertains to *faith*, i.e. *complete trust in a religious ideology.*

The Tagalog word usually used to encapsulate *religious belief* is *pananalig*, and *manalig* is the corresponding word form for the source verb, *believe*.
Example sentence:

BELIEVE that Jesus Christ died on the cross in your place.

MANALIG (ka) na si Hesukristo ay namatay sa krus alang-alang sa iyo.

Sumampalataya

"Sumampalataya" in the Biblical context goes beyond just believing in something. It refers to Biblical faith and goes beyond mere acceptance of the facts.
