James 2:8-11
Christian Standard Bible

8 If, however, you (A)are fulfilling the [a]royal law according to the Scripture, “(B)You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. 9 But if you (C)show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the Law as violators. 10 For whoever keeps the whole Law, yet (D)stumbles in one point, has become (E)guilty of all. 11 For He who said, “(F)Do not commit adultery,” also said, “(G)Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but do murder, you have become a violator of the Law.
