James 2:11-13
New American Standard Bible
11 For He who said, “(A)Do not commit adultery,” also said, “(B)Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but do murder, you have become a violator of the Law. 12 So speak, and so act, as those who are to be judged by (C)the law of freedom. 13 For (D)judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy [a]triumphs over judgment.
