James 2:5-9

Goodspeed(i) 5 Listen, my dear brothers. Has not God chosen the world's poor to be rich in faith, and to possess the kingdom that he promised to those who love him? 6 But you humiliate the poor. Are not the rich your oppressors? Is it not they who drag you into court? 7 Is it not they who slander the noble name you bear? 8 If you really obey the supreme law where the Scripture says, "You must love your neighbor as you do yourself," you are doing right, 9 but if you show partiality, you are committing a sin, and stand convicted before the Law as lawbreakers.
