A brother of low position ought to be proud of his eminence,

But whoever looks at the faultless law that makes men free and keeps looking, so that he does not just listen and forget, but obeys and acts upon it, will be blessed in what he does.

If you really obey the supreme law where the Scripture says, "You must love your neighbor as you do yourself," you are doing right,

but if you show partiality, you are committing a sin, and stand convicted before the Law as lawbreakers.

For anyone who obeys the whole of the Law but makes one single slip is guilty of breaking it all.

For he who said, "You must not commit adultery," said also, "You must not commit murder." Now if you abstain from adultery, but commit murder, you are still a violator of the Law.

You must talk and act like men who expect to be judged by the law that treats men as free.

For wherever jealousy and rivalry exist, there will be confusion and every low action.

Do not talk against one another, brothers. Whoever talks against a brother or condemns his brother talks against the Law, and condemns the Law. But if you condemn the Law you are not an observer of the Law but its judge.
