⁸ You do well when you complete the Royal Rule of the Scriptures: "Love others as you love yourself." ⁹ But if you play up to these so-called important people, you go against the Rule and stand convicted by it. ¹⁰ You can't pick and choose in these things, specializing in keeping one or two things in God's law and ignoring others. ¹¹ The same God who said, "Don't commit adultery," also said, "Don't murder." If you don't commit adultery but go ahead and murder, do you think your non-adultery will cancel out your murder? No, you're a murderer, period. ¹² Talk and act like a person expecting to be judged by the Rule that sets us free. ¹³ For if you refuse to act kindly, you can hardly expect to be treated kindly. Kind mercy wins over harsh judgment every time.
