James 2:8-13
New King James Version
8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, (A)“You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well; 9 but if you [a]show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as (B)transgressors. 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet (C)stumble in one point, (D)he is guilty of all. 11 For He who said, (E)“Do not commit adultery,” also said, (F)“Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by (G)the law of liberty. 13 For (H)judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown (I)no (J)mercy. (K)Mercy triumphs over judgment.
