Contemporary English Version
James 2:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 But if you treat some people better than others, you have done wrong, and the Scriptures teach that you have sinned.
10 (A) If you obey every law except one, you are still guilty of breaking them all. 11 (B) The same God who told us to be faithful in marriage also told us not to murder. So even if you are faithful in marriage, but murder someone, you still have broken God's Law.
