James 2:8-12
8IfG1487 you really fulfillG3305G5055 the royalG937 lawG3551 stated inG2596 ScriptureG1124, “LoveG25 yourG4771 neighborG4139 asG5613 yourselfG4572,”1 you are doingG4160 wellG2573. 9ButG1161 ifG1487 you show favoritismG4380, youG2038 sinG266 and are convictedG1651 byG5259 theG3588 lawG3551 asG5613 transgressorsG3848.
WhoeverG3748 keepsG5083 theG3588 wholeG3650 lawG3551 butG1161 stumblesG4417 atG1722 just oneG1520 point isG1096 guiltyG1777 of breaking all of itG3956. 11ForG1063 He whoG3588 saidG2036, “Do not commit adulteryG3361G3431,”2 alsoG2532 saidG2036, “Do not murderG3361G5407.”3 IfG1487 you do not commit adulteryG3756G3431, butG1161 do commit murderG5407, you have becomeG1096 a lawbreakerG3848G3551.
SpeakG2980 andG2532 actG4160 asG5613 those who are goingG3195 to be judgedG2919 byG1223 the lawG3551 that gives freedomG1657.
