Yakobus 1:25

1:25 But the one who peers into the perfect law of liberty and fixes his attention there, ¹  and does not become a forgetful listener but one who lives it out – he ²  will be blessed in what he does. ³ 

Yakobus 2:8-12

2:8 But if you fulfill the royal law as expressed in this scripture, ⁴  “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” ⁵  you are doing well. 2:9 But if you show prejudice, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as violators. ⁶  2:10 For the one who obeys the whole law but fails ⁷  in one point has become guilty of all of it. ⁸  2:11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” ⁹  also said, “Do not murder.” ¹⁰  Now if you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a violator of the law. 2:12 Speak and act as those who will be judged by a law that gives freedom. ¹¹ 

Yakobus 4:11

4:11 Do not speak against one another, brothers and sisters. ¹²  He who speaks against a fellow believer ¹³  or judges a fellow believer speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but its judge. ¹⁴
