1 My brothers, as you hold out your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, do not show favoritism.

2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in.

3 If you lavish attention on the man in fine clothes and say, “ Here is a seat of honor, but say to the poor man, “You must stand or “Sit at my feet,

4 have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

5 Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him?

6 But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who oppress you and drag you into court?
