This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
11For he that said, or he who hath said. This is a proof of the former verse; because the Lawgiver is to be considered rather than each particular precept apart. The righteousness of God, as an indivisible body, is contained in the law. Whosoever, then, transgresses one article of the Law, destroys, as far as he can, the righteousness of God. Besides, as in one part, so in every part, God’ will is to try our obedience. Hence a transgressor of the law is every one who offends as to any one of its commandments according to this saying,
“ is he who fulfills not all things.”
(Deu_27:26.)
We further see, that the transgressor of the law, and the guilty of all, mean the same according to James.
