[B-Greek] ELEON in James 2:13b

In the Majority Text (Hodges and Farstad 2nd ed), the second part of James 2:13 reads KATAKAUCATAI ELEON KRISEWS. (Nestle-Aland has ELEOS: mercy triumphs over judgement.) ELEON appears to be the accusative of the masculine form of ELEOS. Can anyone explain to me why it is in the accusative rather than the nominative?

Thanks for your help.
