James 3:13 MSG/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 13 Do you want to be counted wise, to build a reputation for wisdom? Here's what you do: Live well, live wisely, live humbly. It's the way you live, not the way you talk, that counts. | 13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. |
