002:009 But if you are making distinctions between one man and another,
you are guilty of sin, and are convicted by the Law as offenders.
002:010 A man who has kept the Law as a whole, but has failed to keep
some one command, has become guilty of violating all.
002:011 For He who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not commit murder," and if you are a murderer, although not an adulterer, you have become an offender against the Law.
002:012 Speak and act as those should who are expecting to be judged
by the Law of freedom.
002:013 For he who shows no mercy will have judgement given against him
without mercy; but mercy triumphs over judgement.
002:014 What good is it, my brethren, if a man professes to have faith,
and yet his actions do not correspond? Can such faith save him?
002:015 Suppose a Christian brother or sister is poorly clad or
lacks daily food,
002:016 and one of you says to them, "I wish you well; keep yourselves warm and well fed," and yet you do not give them what they need; what is the use of that?
002:017 So also faith, if it is unaccompanied by obedience, has no life in it—so long as it stands alone.
002:018 Nay, some one will say, "You have faith, I have actions: prove to me your faith apart from corresponding actions and I will prove mine to you by my actions.
