James 2:9 in Context — James 2

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.

11 Porque el que dijo: No cometerás adulterio, también ha dicho: No matarás. Ahora bien, si no hubieres cometido adulterio, pero hubieres matado, ya eres hecho transgresor de la ley.
