8If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, i“You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. 9But if you jshow partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point khas become guilty of all of it. 11For he who said, l“Do not commit adultery,” also said, l“Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under mthe law of liberty. 13For njudgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
