James 2:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ But if you are treating one person as more important than another, you are sinning. You are guilty of breaking God’s law.

¹⁰ You might follow all of God’s law. But if you fail to obey only one command, you are guilty of breaking all the commands in that law. ¹¹ God said, “Don’t commit adultery.”^[a] The same God also said, “Don’t kill.”^[b] So if you don’t commit adultery, but you kill someone, you are guilty of breaking all of God’s law.
