James 2:8-11
New Living Translation
8 Yes indeed, it is good when you obey the royal law as found in the Scriptures: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[a] 9 But if you favor some people over others, you are committing a sin. You are guilty of breaking the law.
10 For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God’s laws. 11 For the same God who said, “You must not commit adultery,” also said, “You must not murder.”[b] So if you murder someone but do not commit adultery, you have still broken the law.

James 2:8-11
English Standard Version
8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, (A)“You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. 9 But if you (B)show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point (C)has become guilty of all of it. 11 For he who said, (D)“Do not commit adultery,” also said, (E)“Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
