8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
The "ROYAL LAW" is a reference to one of the Ten Commandments, which CHRIST SAID was the Second greatest commandment, to love your neighbor as much as your own self..... The greatest was to LOVE the LORD with ALL your might, strength, mind, and soul....
IF WE give respect to those who do not deserve respect in the Church, we commit sin....
