James 2:9-11
Lexham English Bible
9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and thus[a] are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles in one point only has become guilty of all of it. 11 For the one who said “Do not commit adultery”[b] also said “Do not murder.”[c] Now if you do not commit adultery but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
