James 2:8-12

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on James 2:8-12

⁸If you really fulfill the royal law stated in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.

⁹But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

¹⁰Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

¹¹For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.

¹²Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom.
