James 2

World English Bible (WEB)

10 Ref For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he has become guilty of all.

11 Ref For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," said also, "Do not commit murder." Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

12 Ref So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom.

13 Ref For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

10 Ref For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one `point', he is become guilty of all.

11 Ref For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

12 Ref So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty.

13 Ref For judgment `is' without mercy to him that hath showed no mercy: mercy glorieth against judgment.

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

10 Ref For anyone who keeps all the law, but makes a slip in one point, is judged to have gone against it all.

11 Ref For he who said, Do not be untrue in married life, is the same who said, Put no man to death. Now if you are not untrue in married life, but you put a man to death, the law is broken.

12 Ref Let your words and your acts be those of men who are to be judged by the law which makes free.

13 Ref For the man who has had no mercy will be judged without mercy, but mercy takes pride in overcoming judging.
