New Testament

James 2:6-12 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

6. But you have dishonored the poor! Are not the rich exploiting you and they themselves dragging you into the courts?

7. Do they themselves not blaspheme the good name of the one to whom you belong?

8. However, if you carry out the royal law according to the scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.

9. But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and thus 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” also said “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

12. Thus speak and thus act as those who are going to be judged by the law of liberty.
