James 2:10 - Arno Geneva Study Bible

Bible Comments

(5) For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of (g) all.

(5) A new argument to prove the same conclusion: Those who neglect some and ambitiously honour others do not love their neighbours. For they do not obey God if they remove from the commandments of God those things that are not convenient for them. Rather they are guilty of breaking the whole law, even though they observe part of it.

(g) Not that all sins are equal, but because he who breaks one small part of the law, offends the majority of the given law.

James 2:10

10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
