1 (1:5) My brothers, have not the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with a respect of persons.
2 For if there comes into your assembly a man with a gold ring, in splendid clothing, and there also comes in a poor man in vile clothing,
3 and you look upon him who wears the splendid clothing, and say to him, Sit here in a good place, and say to the poor man, Stand there, or sit under my footstool,
4 are you not condemned in yourselves and judges of evil thoughts?
5 (1:6) Hear, my beloved brothers. Has not God chosen the poor of the world rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
6 But you dishonor the poor. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you to tribunals?
7 And do they not blaspheme the good name by which you are called?
8 If you keep indeed the royal law according to the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well;
9 but if you respect persons, you commit sin, convicted by the law as transgressors.
