The Living Bible, Paraphrased is unavailable, but you can change that!
The Living Bible is a "thought for thought" translation as opposed to a word for word translation. This is a paraphrase. Its purpose, according to the editors, is to say as exactly as possible what the writers of the Scriptures meant, and to say it simply, expanding where necessary for a clear understanding by the modern reader.
A wise man controls his temper. He knows that anger causes mistakes.
