James 2:8-11
Christian Standard Bible
8 Indeed, if you fulfill the royal law prescribed in the Scripture, Love your neighbor as yourself,[a](A) you are doing well. 9 If, however, you show favoritism,(B) you commit sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the entire law, and yet stumbles at one point, is guilty of breaking it all.(C) 11 For he who said, Do not commit adultery,[b] also said, Do not murder.[c](D) So if you do not commit adultery, but you murder, you are a lawbreaker.

James 2:8-11
International Standard Version
8 Nevertheless, you are doing the right thing if you obey the royal Law in keeping with the Scripture, “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”[a] 9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and will be convicted by the Law as violators. 10 For whoever keeps the whole Law but fails in one point is guilty of breaking all of it. 11 For the one who said, “Never commit adultery,”[b] also said, “Never murder.”[c] Now if you do not commit adultery, but you murder, you become a violator of the Law.
