James 2:11-13
English Standard Version
11 For he who said, (A)“Do not commit adultery,” also said, (B)“Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under (C)the law of liberty. 13 For (D)judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
