James 2:11

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

The same God who said 'don't cheat on your partner' also said 'don't murder.' So if you're faithful in your relationship but you kill someone, you've still broken God's law.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

You can't pick and choose which of God's commands to follow — breaking one means you've broken them all.
