Exegesis
In the second clause, the nominative eleos {ἔλεος | éleos} ‘mercy’ functions as the subject of the present middle indicative katakauchatai {κατακαυχᾶται | katakauchâtai} ‘boasts over’, and the genitive kriseōs {κρίσεως | kríseōs} ‘of judgment’ indicates the realm over which mercy exults. The present tense of katakauchatai conveys an enduring principle and the chiastic ordering highlights the reversal that mercy prevails where judgment falls short.
In context — James 2:13
For judgment will be without mercy for the one who has not shown mercy ; mercy stands victorious over judgment.
