1 My brothers, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality.
2 For if someone enters into your assembly in fine clothing with a gold ring on his finger, and a poor person in filthy clothing also enters,
3 and you look favorably on the one wearing the fine clothing and you say, “Be seated here in a good place,” and to the poor person you say, “You stand or be seated there by my footstool,”
4 have you not made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 Listen, my dear brothers! Did not God choose the poor of the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him?
6 But you have dishonored the poor! Are not the rich exploiting you and they themselves dragging you into the courts?
