6. But you have dishonored the poor man. Are not the rich the ones who oppress you, and the ones who drag you into court?
7. Are they not the ones who blaspheme the honorable name by which you were called?
8. If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
9. But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
10. For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it.
11. For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
12. So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty.
13. For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14. What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?
15. If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food,
16. and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?
17. So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
