James 2:11

---

← James 2:10	James 2:11 (KJV)	James 2:12 →
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all.	For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.	So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
