25 But the one who looks into the perfect law, ⁱthe law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, ^jhe will be blessed in his doing.

James 2:8-12

8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, ^k“You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. 9 But if you ^lshow partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point ^mhas become guilty of all of it. 11 For he who said, ⁿ“Do not commit adultery,” also said, ^o“Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under ^pthe law of liberty.

James 4:11

11 ^qDo not speak evil against one another, brothers. ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters} The one who speaks against a brother or ^sjudges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
