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.
