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
Gregory The Dialogist
AD 604
When we wear a piece of clothing, it covers us all over. Righteousness is like this, for it protects itself by good works at every turn and leaves nothing exposed to the ravages of sin. For if someone is righteous in some of the things he does and unrighteous in others, it is rather as if he is covering one side of his body but leaving the other side naked. Such a person is not doing good works, because these works are made evil by the unrighteousness which is present in him. (Lessons in Job 19.32)
