MLV(i)
1 My brethren, do not have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, in favoritism.
2 For if a man comes into your congregation with a gold ring, in bright apparel and if a poor person in filthy apparel also comes in,
3 you may have looked upon the one who is wearing the bright apparel and may have said to him, Sit here; good; and you may have said to the poor person, Stand there or sit here under my footstool.
4 And did you not discern among yourselves and then became judges from evil reasonings?
5 Listen, my beloved brethren. Did God not choose the poor of the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love him? 6 But you have dishonored the poor. Are the rich not oppressing you? And are they themselves not dragging you into the courts? 7 Are they not blaspheming the good name, the one which was surnamed upon you? 8 Nevertheless, if you complete the royal law, according to the Scripture, ‘You will love your neighbor like yourself,’you are doing well. 9 But if you have shown-favoritism, you are working sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
10 For who ever will be keeping the whole law and yet will trip in one point, he has become liable to all of it.
