Amen as james says
James 2:10
For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.
It is not even i tenional sin, it says if we stumble in must one point, we are builty of all, what is the penalty? As moses and paul said, cursed is the one who does not confirm and obey every word.
He can judge those people all he wants, scripture says he is just as guilty

"Not all who say to Me Lord Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven but those who do the Will of My Father in Heaven."
My favorite verse, describing the Will of our Father in Heaven, "Rejoice continually (Consider it all Joy), Pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
This verse fulfills all the commandments, the 10 commandments or the One thing needful, that fulfils them: Grace, the influence of God by the Holy Spirit to Love as He Loves, "A new commandment I give to you, that you Love one another as I have Loved you; that you also Love one another."
My favorite verse used to be, "They that wait on the Lord shall renew strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagle they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." Its still second favorite, but the new testament verse explains how to wait on the Lord. Many wonder how to pray without ceasing, recently understood better that the reformation magnified dualistic thinking in the church (I'm right and your wrong on both sides and within both sides) dominance of ego as the fruit. making it more difficult to get past ourselves in knowledge of good and evil: to stop thinking we are right and others wrong, to stop magnifying ourselves and remain in contemplative prayer and worship, to remain in fear admiration of the Lord all the day Long. Praying in the spirit is past our understanding in dualistic thinking, to persevere in mindless work...
Buddhists may have lest trouble obeying my favorite verse, as they have been lest affected by dualistic thinking than we do:
"For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (For not the hearers of the law, just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel."
I'm not recommending we become Buddhists monks but could become a catholic monk. My wife in waiting is Catholic, I met her on this site. I met 2 women from the Philippines on this site, the first had similar theology as me, but we did not become deeply involved as if we were lukewarm in the relationship, though we were friends. Then I met Leizel and told her not to get emotionally involved, that I already had a lady friend if I was to get emotionally involved. Obviously we did get emotionally involved. I had prayed for a wife who had a greater need to be loved than I had, so that I would be pursued in the relationship and required to lay down my life and not pursuing a woman losing interest. But after asking her in marriage when I was overwhelmed with the long wait, gave up and told her I was not able to be more than a friend. I also had started smoking pot at the time again but still seeking the Lord, then one evening walking alone heard in my heart: You have a wife waiting for you. I told her and she told me she was praying for me and had told the Lord she was willing to look after me the rest of my life. I quit smoking the weed 5 months ago, aware that we don't move forward in addiction and neither could I have a healthy relationship. We still haven't met in person.

1Jn 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 1Jn 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1Jn 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
When I read this I read, commandments in parallel to His word.
Again he is writing to believers, much like James he telling them to let the love of God within them be perfected by being in Christ, walking in love, walking in the Spirit.
Again this is not about keeping salvation, but living a Christian life.
So John is discussing the consequences of the Christian life and not our earning the Christian transformation (2 Cor 5:14-18).
The letters are about moving forward as Christians and being in continual fellowship with God.

what you have here is a part of the definition .
it also means slow to call something good, slow to call something evil.
it also calling something good that God calls evil, or vice versa.
it also means reproachful speech injurious to the Divine Majesty.
so, you say you do not sin everyday.
well, do not count today, as you lied by omission by only giving a partial definition of a word, and trying to pass it off as the whole definition.
