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.
