1 My brothers, do not hold the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ in favor by appearance, 2 for if there may come into your synagogue a man with gold ring, in radiant clothing, and there may also come in a poor man in vile clothing, 3 and you may look on him bearing the radiant clothing, and may say to him, “You—sit here well,” and may say to the poor man, “You—stand there,” or, “Sit here under my footstool,” 4 you did not judge fully in yourselves, and became ill-reasoning judges. 5 Listen, my beloved brothers, did God not choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom that He promised to those loving Him? 6 But you dishonored the poor one. Do the rich not oppress you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats? James 2:1-6, Literal Standard Version. Copyright © 2020 Covenant Press.
