7. Don’t they blaspheme the honourable name by which you are called?
8. However, if you fulfil the royal law, according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbour as yourself,” you do well.
9. But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
10. For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
11. For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not commit murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
12. So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom.
13. For judgement is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgement.
14. What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
15. And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,
16. and one of you tells them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled;” and yet you didn’t give them the things the body needs, what good is it?
17. Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
18. Yes, a man will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I by my works will show you my faith.
