Bonaventure, on Jas 2:10

Bonaventure · c. A.D. 1221–1274
Jas 2:10 · Douay-Rheims
“And whosoever shall keep the whole law, but offend in one point, is become guilty of all.”
On this verse:
“You must always fear God, because he who "keeps the whole law but offends in one point has become guilty of all." And in Deuteronomy it is said: "And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you, except that you fear him and keep all his commandments and walk in his ways?" And Solomon says: "Fear God and observe his commandments: this is the whole man," that is, the perfect man. Therefore if you wish to be perfect, fear God.”
