Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
8 Supposing, however, you keep the royal law, as it is written, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”; if you do this, you will do well. 9 But if you show favoritism, you are committing sin, and you will be convicted by the law as a lawbreaker. 10 Anyone who keeps the whole law, you see, but fails in one point, has become guilty of all of it. 11 For the one who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” So if you do not commit adultery, but do murder, you have become a lawbreaker. 12 Speak and act in such a way as people who are going to be judged by the law of freedom. 13 Judgment is without mercy, you see, for those who have shown no mercy. But mercy triumphs over judgment.
