OET (OET-RV) The same God who said, ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ also said, ‘Don’t murder,’ so if you’re not committing adultery but you murder someone, then you’ve broken the law.
OET-LV For/Because the one having_said:
Not you_may_commit_adultery, said also:
Not you_may_murder.
And if not you_are_committing_adultery, but you_are_murdering you_have_become a_transgressor of_the_law.

2:8-13 James applies biblical evidence to counter the common practice of favoring rich and powerful people.
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 breaking one law makes a person guilty of breaking every law is that”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ & εἰπών
the_‹one› & /having/_said
James is referring implicitly to God, who spoke the commandments quoted in this verse when he gave the law to Moses. Alternate translation: “God who said”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd
μὴ μοιχεύσῃς & μὴ φονεύσῃς & οὐ μοιχεύεις & φονεύεις & γέγονας
not ˱you˲_/may/_commit_adultery & not ˱you˲_/may/_murder & not ˱you˲_/are/_committing_adultery & ˱you˲_/are/_murdering & ˱you˲_/have/_become
The implied “you” in the two commandments that James quotes in this verse is singular because, even though Moses gave these laws to the Israelites as a group, each individual person was expected to obey them. The word you is also singular in the rest of the verse because James is carrying forward that usage from the commandments. So in your translation, use the singular form of “you” if your language marks that distinction.
