James 2:8-11

8IfG1487, howeverG3305, you 1are fulfillingG5055 the 2royalG937 lawG3551 accordingG2596 to the ScriptureG1124, “3You shall loveG25 your neighborG4139 as yourselfG4572,” you are doingG4160 wellG2573.

9But ifG1487 you 4showG4380 partialityG4380, you are committingG2038 sinG266 and are convictedG1651 by the 5lawG3551 as transgressorsG3848.

10For whoeverG3748 keepsG5083 the wholeG3650 6lawG3551 and yetG1161 7stumblesG4417 in oneG1520 point, he has becomeG1096 8guiltyG1777 of allG3956.

11For He who saidG3004, “9Do not commitG3431 adulteryG3431,” alsoG2532 saidG3004, “10Do not commitG5407 murderG5407.” NowG1161 ifG1487 you do not commitG3431 adulteryG3431, but do commitG5407 murderG5407, you have becomeG1096 a transgressorG3848 of the 11lawG3551.
