James 2:9
_ _ Respect of persons violates the command to love all alike “as thyself.”
_ _ ye commit sin — literally, “ye work sin,” Matthew 7:23, to which the reference here is probably, as in James 1:22. Your works are sin, whatever boast of the law ye make in words (see on James 2:8).
_ _ convinced — Old English for “convicted.”
_ _ as transgressors — not merely of this or that particular command, but of the whole absolutely. |
James 2:9
Being convicted — By that very law. Exodus 23:3. |
- if:
James 2:1-4 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons. ... Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
Leviticus 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: [but] in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
|
- are:
John 8:9 And they which heard [it], being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
John 8:46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
John 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
*marg.
1 Corinthians 14:24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or [one] unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
Jude 1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
|
- transgressors:
Romans 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.
Romans 7:7-13 What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. ... Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
Galatians 2:19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
