In context

7Are they not the ones who blaspheme the noble name by which you have been called?

8If you really fulfill the royal law stated in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.

9But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

10Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

11For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
