James 2:9
Compare all
7 Do they not blaspheme that noble name by which you are acalled?  
8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, a“You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well;  
9 but if you1 show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as atransgressors.  
10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet astumble in one point, bhe is guilty of all.  
11 For He who said, a“Do not commit adultery,” also said, b“Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.  
12 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by athe law of liberty.  
13 For ajudgment is without mercy to the one who has shown bno cmercy. dMercy triumphs over judgment.  

Faith Without Works Is Dead

14 aWhat does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?
