James:2:6-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But ye have despised the poor .
Do not rich men oppress you ,
and draw you before the judgment seats ?
*
Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called ?
*
If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture ,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself ,
ye do well :
*
But if ye have respect to persons ,
ye commit sin ,
and are convinced of the law as transgressors .
*
For whosoever shall keep the whole law ,
and yet offend in one point ,
he is guilty of all .
*
For he that said ,
Do not commit adultery ,
said also ,
Do not kill .
Now if thou commit no adultery ,
yet if thou kill ,
thou art become a transgressor of the law .
*
So speak ye ,
and so do ,
as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty .
