James 2:8-10
Contemporary English Version
8 (A) You will do all right, if you obey the most important law[a] in the Scriptures. It is the law that commands us to love others as much as we love ourselves. 9 But if you treat some people better than others, you have done wrong, and the Scriptures teach that you have sinned.
10 (B) If you obey every law except one, you are still guilty of breaking them all.
