James 2:8 in Context — James 2

6 Mas vosotros habéis afrentado al pobre. ¿No os oprimen los ricos, y no son ellos los mismos que os arrastran á los juzgados?

7 ¿No blasfeman ellos el buen nombre que fué invocado sobre vosotros?

8 Si en verdad cumplís vosotros la ley real, conforme á la Escritura: Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo, bien hacéis:

9 Mas si hacéis acepción de personas, cometéis pecado, y sois reconvenidos de la ley como transgresores.

10 Porque cualquiera que hubiere guardado toda la ley, y ofendiere en un [punto], es hecho culpado de todos.
