Jas 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Jas 2:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
1Jn 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin.
1Co 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
What it means is breaking the law is breaking the law, and even one sin can condemn you for you broke the law.
It does not matter if you stole a piece of bubblegum, or fornicated with not your spouse, you are still guilty of breaking the law.
If you break the law whether to a low degree, or a high degree, you are still guilty of breaking the law.
It is about breaking the law not the sin that we do to break that law, for if we sin then we are guilty of all, for we broke the law, and the law will condemn a person whether they break one law, or all the laws.
We are guilty of breaking the law not the count of the sins that we did to break the law, or actually breaking all the laws.

I like James.
Theologians believe his work (our Book of James) was written specifically to the Jews because of his views concerning Paul. Which is interesting, because James, brother of Yeshua, was also the Leader of the Council. So he was placed in Authority and kept the Gospel intact.
What was the purpose for the Book of James to be written?
- James was martyred in approximately A.D. 62, according to the historian Josephus.
- Purpose of Writing: Many believe that this epistle was written in response to an overzealous interpretation of Paul’s teaching regarding faith.
Well it could be that his commandments are just that holy. David himself would praise God for his commandments he held them in very high regard and honestly I feel the same. Granted I am in no way great at keeping them even so While we may not be under the law I still hold them in great respect.
But a short simple answer- it is a slippery slope once you break one it is easier to break the next

Just as a single grain of sand dropped in a glass of water makes the water no longer "pure water", so does a single law broken make the sinner guilty.
God by definition is worthy of worship, because He has done mighty things and there is no sin in Him. We on the other hand miss the mark by a long-shot. Even one sin stains the whole outfit.
Adam's single sin was evil enough to bring the whole creation under a curse.
