9But if you wshow partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point xhas become guilty of all of it. 11For he who said, y“Do not commit adultery,” also said, z“Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under aathe law of liberty.
