James 2:9-14

9But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. 10For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

11For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,” Exodus 20:14; Deut. 5:18 also said, “You shall not murder.” Exodus 20:13; Deut. 5:17 If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker. 12Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom,

13because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
