Do they not say evil of the holy name which was given to you?
James 2:8
But if you keep the greatest law of all, as it is given in the holy Writings, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself, you do well:
James 2:9
But if you take a man's position into account, you do evil, and are judged as evil-doers by the law.
