UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

James is giving the reason for the statement he made in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “The reason why showing favoritism makes a person guilty of breaking God’s law is that”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ὅστις & τηρήσῃ

whoever & /may/_keep

Here, keep is an idiom that means “obey.” Alternate translation: “whoever might obey”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πταίσῃ δὲ ἐν ἑνί

/may/_stumble but in one_‹thing›

James speaks of a person disobeying a commandment as if he would stumble, that is, trip and lose his balance while walking. Alternate translation: “but disobey one thing”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πταίσῃ δὲ ἐν ἑνί

/may/_stumble but in one_‹thing›

James is using the adjective one as a noun to refer to one commandment of the law. (ULT adds the term thing to show this.) Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate the term with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “but disobey one commandment”

πάντων ἔνοχος

˱of˲_all liable

Alternate translation: “guilty of breaking the entire law”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πάντων ἔνοχος

˱of˲_all liable

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state explicitly why James says that this is true. Alternate translation: “guilty of breaking the entire law, because God gave the entire law to show people how he wanted them to live, and if you break one part of it, you are not living in that way”
