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.

2:8: Lev 19:18.

2:11: a Exo 20:14; Deu 5:18; b Exo 20:13; Deu 5:17.

8 If however the_law you _all _are _accomplishing royal, according _to the scripture:
You _will _be _loving the neighbor of _you as yourself, well you _all _are _doing.
9 But if you _all _are _showing _favouritism, sin you _all _are _doing, being _rebuked by the law as transgressors.
10 For/Because whoever all the law may _keep, but may _stumble in one thing, has _become of _all liable.
11 For/Because the one having _said:
Not you _may _commit _adultery, said also:
Not you _may _murder.
And if not you _are _committing _adultery, but you _are _murdering you _have _become a_transgressor of_the_law.
12 Thus be _speaking, and thus be _doing, as by the_law of _freedom going to _be _being _judged.
13 For/Because the judgment merciless will _be to _the one not having _doing mercy.
Is _triumphing mercy over _judgment.
