James 2:13
Douay-Rheims
For judgment without mercy to him that hath not done mercy. And mercy exalteth itself above judgment.
Augustine of Hippo
He who judges without mercy will be judged without mercy. And in this sense only is the "same measure" to be understood, that the mercy which he did not show will not be shown to him, and that the judgment which he makes will be eternal, even though the thing judged cannot be eternal.
