ABU(i)
1 MY brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.
2 For if there have come into your assembly a man with a gold ring, in gay clothing, and there have come in also a poor man in mean clothing;
3 and ye have respect to him that wears the gay clothing, and say: Sit thou here in a good place, and say to the poor man: Stand thou there, or, Sit under my footstool;
4 were ye not partial in yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 Hearken, my beloved brethren. Did not God choose the poor as to this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
6 But ye dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and do not they drag you before the judgment-seats?
7 Do not they blaspheme the worthy name by which ye are called?
