3 And you have respect to him that wears the fine clothing, and say unto him, Sit here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand there, or sit here under my footstool:
4 Are you not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, 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 despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judges?
7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by which you are called?
8 If you fulfill the royal law according to the scripture,
9 But if you have respect to persons, you commit sin, and are convicted of the law as transgressors.
