MERCY James 2:12-13

Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment. 

Speak and act as those who are going to be judged 
Matthew 16:27  "For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done."

by the law that gives freedom 
James 1:25  But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it--not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it--they will be blessed in what they do.
James 2:8  If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Leviticus 19:18), you are doing right.

because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful 
Matthew 5:7  "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy."
Matthew 9:13  "But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice' (Hosea 6:6). For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
Matthew 12:7  "If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice' (Hosea 6:6), you would not have condemned the innocent."
Matthew 18:32-35  "Then the master called the servant in. 'You wicked servant,' he said, 'I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?' In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed. This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart."
Luke 6:37  "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."
