The word "you" refers to the Jewish believers. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])

# fulfill the royal law

"obey God's law." God originally gave laws to Moses, recorded in the books of the Old Testament.

# You shall love your neighbor as yourself

James is quoting from the book of Leviticus.

# your neighbor

"all people" or "everyone"

# you do well

"you are doing well" or "you are doing what is right"

# if you favor

"give special treatment to" or "give honor to"

# committing sin

"sinning." That is, breaking the law.

# convicted by the law as lawbreakers

Here the law is spoken of as if it were a human judge. AT: "guilty of breaking God's law" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])
