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.
