James 2:8-13

World English Bible

⁸ However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,”^(A) you do well. ⁹ But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. ¹⁰ For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. ¹¹ For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,”^(B) also said, “Do not commit murder.”^(C) Now if you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. ¹² So speak and so do as men who are to be judged by the law of freedom. ¹³ For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
