Jacques 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.

Jacques 2:9 In-Context

7 Ne sont-ce pas eux qui blasphèment le beau nom qui a été invoqué sur vous?
8 Si vous accomplissez la loi royale, selon l'Écriture: Tu aimeras ton prochain comme toi-même, vous faites bien;
9 Mais si vous faites acception de personnes, vous commettez un péché, étant convaincus par la loi d'être des transgresseurs.
10 Car, quiconque aura observé toute la loi, s'il vient à pécher dans un seul point, devient coupable de tous.
11 En effet, celui qui a dit: Tu ne commettras point d'adultère, a dit aussi: Tu ne tueras point. Or, si tu ne commets point d'adultère, mais que tu tues, tu es transgresseur de la loi.
