Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

For		"While the Jews taught that ""he who transgresses all the precepts of the law has broken the yoke, dissolved the covenant, and exposed the law to contempt; and so has he done who has only broken one precept;"" they also taught, ""that he who observed any principal command was equal to him who kept the whole law,"" and gave for an example the forsaking of idolatry. To correct this false doctrine was the object James had in view."
whosoever		Deu 27:26; Mat 5:18,19; Gal 3:10
