James 2:2-6

Murdock(i) 2 For if there come into your assembly a man with rings of gold or splendid garments, and there come in a poor man in sordid garments; 3 and ye show respect to him who is clothed in splendid garments, and say to him, Seat thyself here, conspicuously; while to the poor man, ye say, Stand thou there, or sit thou here before my footstool; 4 are ye not divided among yourselves, and become expositors of evil thoughts? 5 Hear, my beloved brethren; hath not God chosen the poor of the world, but the rich in faith, to be heirs in the kingdom which God hath promised to them that love him? 6 But ye have despised the poor man. Do not rich men exalt themselves over you, and drag you before the tribunals?
