For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
All Commentaries on James 2:10 Go To James 2
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Is it possible that the person who has discriminated between rich and poor is guilty of murder, adultery and sacrilege? That does indeed seem to be the conclusion which James is drawing. Such a man is guilty of every crime, because by offending in one point he has become guilty of them all.
