James 2:8-13
8IfG1487, howeverG3305, you 1are fulfillingG5055 the 2royalG937 lawG3551 accordingG2596 to the ScriptureG1124, “3You shall loveG25 your neighborG4139 as yourselfG4572,” you are doingG4160 wellG2573. 9But ifG1487 you 4showG4380 partialityG4380, you are committingG2038 sinG266 and are convictedG1651 by the LawG3551 as violatorsG3848. 10For whoeverG3748 keepsG5083 the wholeG3650 LawG3551, yetG1161 5stumblesG4417 in oneG1520 point, has becomeG1096 6guiltyG1777 of allG3956. 11For He who saidG3004, “7Do not commitG3431 adulteryG3431,” alsoG2532 saidG3004, “8Do not murderG5407.” NowG1161 ifG1487 you do not commitG3431 adulteryG3431, but do murderG5407, you have becomeG1096 a violatorG3848 of the LawG3551. 12SoG3779 speakG2980, and soG3779 actG4160, as those who are to be judgedG2919 by 9the lawG3551 of freedomG1657. 13For 10judgmentG2920 will be mercilessG415 to one who has shownG4160 noG3361 mercyG1656; mercyG1656 11triumphsG2620 overG2620 judgmentG2920.
