Note that the OET uses ‘Yacob’ for ‘The Letter of Jacob’ (wrongly called ‘James’ in older Bibles).
This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
2:8 Judgement and mercy
8 However if you are obeying the golden law, then when you love your neighbour as yourself,[ref] you’ll be doing well according to the scriptures. 9 But if you’re showing favouritism, then you’re all sinning by breaking the law. 10 Because anyone who tries to keep the law but slips up in one area, they’re still guilty of breaking the law. 11 The same God who said, ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ also said, ‘Don’t murder,’[ref] so if you’re not committing adultery but you murder someone, then you’ve broken the law. 12 So speak and live your life knowing that you’re going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, 13 because judgement will be dispensed without mercy to those who haven’t been putting mercy into practice. Yes, mercy wins out over judgement.
