ACV(i)
1 My brothers, ye should not have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, in favoritism.
2 For if a man with a gold ring in bright clothing comes into your synagogue, and also a poor man in dirty clothing comes in,
3 and ye have regard for the man wearing the bright clothing, and say to him, Sit thou here well, and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit here below my footstool,
4 then are ye not partial among yourselves, and become judges from evil thoughts?
5 Listen, my beloved brothers, did not God choose the poor of the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to those who love him?
6 But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich exploit you, and they themselves drag you into courts?
7 Do they not blaspheme the good name that was called upon you?
8 If ye indeed fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well.
9 But if ye respect personages, ye work sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
