Santiago 2:9 Meaning and Commentary

James 2:9

But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin,
&c] This is not doing well, but is a transgression of the law, as every sin is; hence it follows,

and are convinced of the law as transgressors;
which carries on a formal process against such persons; it accuses them of sin, and charges them with it; it proves it upon them, and convicts them of it; it pronounces them guilty, and curses them for it; and passes the sentence of condemnation and death upon them; wherefore care should be taken not to commit this sin, and so fall under the convictions and reproofs of the law.

Santiago 2:9 In-Context

7 ¿No son ellos los que blasfeman el buen nombre de aquel a quien ustedes pertenecen?
8 Hacen muy bien si de veras cumplen la ley suprema de la Escritura: «Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo»;
9 pero si muestran algún favoritismo, pecan y son culpables, pues la misma ley los acusa de ser transgresores.
10 Porque el que cumple con toda la ley pero falla en un solo punto ya es culpable de haberla quebrantado toda.
11 Pues el que dijo: «No cometas adulterio», también dijo: «No mates». Si no cometes adulterio, pero matas, ya has violado la ley.
