Verse 10 is found in chapter 2 of James. The command to love one’s neighbor functions as the royal law. Mercy is especially important because the Christian community will be judged according to the same logic it practices. The passage presents mercy not as sentimentality, but as a concrete expression of obedience.

Denn so jemand das ganze Gesetz hält und sündigt an einem, der ist's ganz schuldig.
Porque cualquiera que hubiere guardado toda la ley, y ofendiere en un punto, es hecho culpado de todos.
Car quiconque observe toute la loi, mais pèche contre un seul commandement, devient coupable de tous.
Perciocchè, chiunque avrà osservata tutta la legge, ed avrà fallito in un sol capo, è colpevole di tutti.
Porque qualquer que guardar toda a lei, e tropeçar em um só ponto, tornou-se culpado de todos.
因為凡遵守全部律法的,只違背了一條就是違犯了所有的律法。
