Royal law: Difference between revisions

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]

There were no kings in Israel under Moses because everyman was king in his own home. Jesus was to return everyman to his family and to his possessions when he set the captive free from the bondage of the Baptism of Herod and the Corban of the Pharisees.

To do anything other than to love our neighbor as ourselves is not keeping the law of God and a violation of the royal law. This would include biting one another, covetous practices^[5] which is idolatry,^[6] or not providing a daily ministration of Pure Religion through faith, hope, and charity which is the works^[7] James speaks of in the first chapter.
