James 2:11-13
New English Translation
11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,”[a] also said, “Do not murder.”[b] Now if you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a violator of the law. 12 Speak and act as those who will be judged by a law that gives freedom.[c] 13 For judgment is merciless for the one who has shown no mercy. But mercy triumphs over[d] judgment.
