James 2:2-6

ACV(i) 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?
