James 2:12

God has given us his laws that set us free. So you should speak and do what those laws say.

Anindilyakwa (portions)

In The King James Version

So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

In Context

11God said, “Don't take another man's wife.” And the same God said, “Don't murder anyone.” So, if you don't take another man's wife, but you murder someone, you are breaking all God's laws.

So remember that God has pity on us. If you forgive other people who have made trouble for you, then you will go with a clean heart because God will also forgive you your sins.
