King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
11
For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,” also said, “You shall not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
12
Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom,
13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
13
because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
