The Royal Law

Jas 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 

Jas 2:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 

Jas 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 

Jas 2:11 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.

The law of God- the Ten Commandments in the New Testament-

1- Mat 4:10  Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 

2- 1Jn 5:21  Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. 

    Act 17:29  Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. 

3- 1Ti 6:1  Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. 

4- Mat 24:20  But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day

     Mar 2:27  And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath

     Mar 2:28  Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. 

     Heb 4:4  For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 

     Heb 4:9  There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 

Heb 4:10  For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 

5- Mat 19:19  Honour thy father and thy mother… 

6- Rom 13:9  …Thou shalt not kill…

7- Mat 19:18  He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 

8- Rom 13:9 … Thou shalt not steal…

9- Rom 13:9  …Thou shalt not bear false witness…

10- Rom 7:7  What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. 

These Ten Commandments are summarized in this way--

Mat 22:37  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 

Mat 22:38  This is the first and great commandment. 

Mat 22:39  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 

Mat 22:40  On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. 

If you look at the ten commandments closely enough you can tell that the first four are geared towards worshiping God, and the last six are geared towards loving our fellowman. Through love we keep the commandments, the royal law.

Jas 2:12  So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

Jas 1:25  But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 

Mat 5:17  Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 

Mat 5:18  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 

Mat 5:19  Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
