James 2:9 Context
7Doe not they blaspheme that worthy Name, by the which ye are called? 8If ye fulfil the royall Law, according to the Scripture, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe, ye doe well. 9But if ye haue respect to persons, ye commit sinne, and are conuinced of the Law, as transgressours. 10For whosoeuer shall keepe the whole Law, & yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11For he that said, Doe not commit adultery; sayd also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressour of the Law.
