James 2:8-11
New English Translation

8 But if you fulfill the royal law as expressed in this scripture,[a] “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,”[b] you are doing well. 9 But if you show prejudice, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as violators.[c] 10 For the one who obeys the whole law but fails[d] in one point has become guilty of all of it.[e] 11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,”[f] also said, “Do not murder.”[g] Now if you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a violator of the law.

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, being convicted by the [b]law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole [c]law and yet (D)stumbles in one point, he 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 murder, you have become a transgressor of the [d]law.
