- James 2:8 "If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:"
The Greek word basilikos[1]translated "royal" here is an adjective formed from the Greek word basileus often translated king meaning any ruler. The word basilikos is also translated nobleman in John[2] likely used describing a person as "befitting or worthy of a king.". When basilikos is used to modify words like apparel it may denote the robes of royalty common among kings or befitting kings.[3]
James uses the term to modify the generic term for law so he is probably just using the adjective as a metaphor to denote that that the principal or chief law is to " love thy neighbour as thyself". James is clearly in conformity with Christ in his statement as we see time and time again.[4]
