James 2:8-13

« James 1James 2James 3 »

8 If, however, you ^aare fulfilling the ¹royal law according to the Scripture, “^bYou shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. 9 But if you ^ashow partiality, you are committing sin, being convicted by the ¹law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole ¹law and yet ^astumbles in one point, he has become ^bguilty of all. 11 For He who said, “^aDo not commit adultery,” also said, “^bDo not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the ¹law. 12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by ^athe law of freedom. 13 For ^ajudgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy ¹triumphs over judgment.
