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

Verse 9 is found in chapter 2 of James. The command to love one’s neighbor functions as the royal law. Mercy is especially important because the Christian community will be judged according to the same logic it practices. The passage presents mercy not as sentimentality, but as a concrete expression of obedience.

so ihr aber die Person ansehet, tut ihr Sünde und werdet überführt vom Gesetz als Übertreter.
Mas si hacéis acepción de personas, cometéis pecado, y sois reconvenidos de la ley como transgresores.
Pero, si hacen acepción de personas, cometen pecado y la Ley los declara culpables como transgresores.
Mais si vous faites acception de personnes, vous commettez un péché, vous êtes condamnés par la loi comme des transgresseurs.
Ma, se avete riguardo alla qualità delle persone, voi commettete peccato, essendo dalla legge convinti, come trasgressori.
Mas, se fazeis acepção de pessoas, cometeis pecado, e sois redargüidos pela lei como transgressores.
但你們若按外貌待人就是犯罪,是被律法定為犯法的。
