you have become a transgressor of law: In this verse, James uses a vivid example to illustrate his point that the Mosaic Law was all one, a single body of sacred law. Surely none of James’ readers would argue that a man who committed murder could excuse himself by saying that he had never committed adultery. In fact, by breaking one of the Law’s commands, he made himself “an offender against all of it.” (Jas 2:10; compare Ga 3:10, 12.) Similarly, a Christian who showed partiality was a transgressor against “the royal law,” a basic feature of “the law of the Christ.”—Jas 2:8; Ga 6:2; Ac 10:34; Ro 2:11.
