James 2:6-9
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 2

6But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you and personally drag you into court? 7Do they not blaspheme the good name by which you have been called?
8If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF,' you are doing well. 9But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the Law as violators.
King James Version

Chapter 2

6But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? 7Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? 8If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 2

6Yet you have dishonored the poor. Don’t the rich oppress you and drag you into court? 7Don’t they blaspheme the good name that was invoked over you?
8Indeed, if you fulfill the royal law prescribed in the Scripture, Love your neighbor as yourself, you are doing well. 9If, however, you show favoritism, you commit sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
New Living Translation

Chapter 2

6But you dishonor the poor! Isn’t it the rich who oppress you and drag you into court? 7Aren’t they the ones who slander Jesus Christ, whose noble name you bear?
8Yes indeed, it is good when you obey the royal law as found in the Scriptures: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 9But if you favor some people over others, you are committing a sin. You are guilty of breaking the law.
English Standard Version
