James 2:8 in context

James 2:5–11

5

Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

6

But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you and personally drag you before the courts?

7

Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?

8
Selected verse

However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.

9

But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

10

For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.

11

For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not commit murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
