7. Is it not they who blaspheme the noble name that was invoked over you?
8. However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
9. But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
