James 2:10-12
New Testament for Everyone
10 Anyone who keeps the whole law, you see, but fails in one point, has become guilty of all of it. 11 For the one who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” So if you do not commit adultery, but do murder, you have become a lawbreaker. 12 Speak and act in such a way as people who are going to be judged by the law of freedom.
