Living_Oracles(i)
1 My brethren, do not hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partial regard for persons.
2 For if there enter into your synagogue a man having gold rings on his fingers, and with splendid clothing, and there enter likewise a poor man, with sordid apparel;
3 and you look on him who has the splendid clothing, and say, Sit you here honorably; and to the poor man, Stand you there; or, Sit here at my footstool:
4 are you not, then, partial among yourselves, and have become judges who reason wickedly?
5 Hearken, beloved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor of the world-rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them who love him?
6 Do not the rich exceedingly oppress you, and themselves drag you to the judgment seats?
7 Do not they defame that excellent name which is named on you?
