KJC(i)
1 My brothers, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in good apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile clothing;
3 And you have respect to him that wears the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit you here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand you there, or sit here under my footstool:
4 Are you not then partial in yourselves, and have become judges of evil thoughts?
5 Hearken, my beloved brothers, Has not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them that love him?
6 But you have looked down upon the poor. Do not rich men oppres you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which you are called?
8 If you fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well:
9 But if you have respect to persons, you commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
