James 2:8-16
However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture,“ You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.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.So speak and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom.For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,and one of you tells them,“ Go in peace. Be warmed and filled;” yet you didn’t give them the things the body needs, what good is it?
