James 2:1-7

LITV(i) 1 My brothers, do not with respect of persons have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. 2 For if a gold-fingered man in splendid clothing comes into your synagogue, and a poor one in shabby clothing also comes in; 3 and you look on the one wearing the splendid clothing, and say to him, You sit here comfortably; and to the poor one you say, You stand there, or, Sit here under my footstool; 4 did you not also make a difference among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? 5 Hear, my beloved brothers, did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to the ones loving Him? 6 But you dishonored the poor one. Do not the rich ones oppress you, and they drag you to judgment seats? 7 Do they not blaspheme the good Name called on you?
