| New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 9 So discuss the matter with them privately. Don't tell anyone else, | 9 If you argue your case with a neighbor, do not betray another man's confidence, |
| 10 or others may accuse you of gossip. Then you will never regain your good reputation. | 10 or he who hears it may shame you and you will never lose your bad reputation. |
