1. My brothers, within the glorious faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, do not choose to show favoritism toward persons.
2. For if a man has entered your assembly having a gold ring and splendid apparel, and if a poor man has also entered, in dirty clothing,
3. and if you are then attentive to the one who is clothed in excellent apparel, so that you say to him, "You may sit in this good place," but you say to the poor man, "You stand over there," or, "Sit below my footstool,"
4. are you not judging within yourselves, and have you not become judges with unjust thoughts?
