James 2:9 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)

But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

James 2:9 English Standard Version Revision 2016 (ESV)

But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

James 2:8-11 The Message (MSG)

You do well when you complete the Royal Rule of the Scriptures: “Love others as you love yourself.” But if you play up to these so-called important people, you go against the Rule and stand convicted by it. You can’t pick and choose in these things, specializing in keeping one or two things in God’s law and ignoring others. The same God who said, “Don’t commit adultery,” also said, “Don’t murder.” If you don’t commit adultery but go ahead and murder, do you think your non-adultery will cancel out your murder? No, you’re a murderer, period.
