James 2:9

SinJusticeThe law

7 Are they not the ones who blaspheme the noble name by which you have been called?

8 If you really fulfill the royal law stated in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.

But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

10 Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

11 For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
