James 2:9-11
Complete Jewish Bible
9 But if you show favoritism, your actions constitute sin, since you are convicted under the Torah as transgressors.
10 For a person who keeps the whole Torah, yet stumbles at one point, has become guilty of breaking them all. 11 For the One who said, “Don’t commit adultery,”[a] also said, “Don’t murder.”[b] Now, if you don’t commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the Torah.
