James 2:11-14 God's Word Translation (GW)

11. After all, the one who said, “Never commit adultery,” is the same one who said, “Never murder.” If you do not commit adultery but you murder, you become a person who disobeys God’s laws.

12. Talk and act as people who are going to be judged by laws that bring freedom.

13. No mercy will be shown to those who show no mercy to others. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

14. My brothers and sisters, what good does it do if someone claims to have faith but doesn’t do any good things? Can this kind of faith save him?
