James 3:2 MSG/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 2 And none of us is perfectly qualified. We get it wrong nearly every time we open our mouths. If you could find someone whose speech was perfectly true, you'd have a perfect person, in perfect control of life. | 2 We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check. |
