5. Listen, my dear brothers: Didn’t God choose the poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that He has promised to those who love Him?
6. Yet you dishonored that poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you and drag you into the courts?
7. Don’t they blaspheme the noble name that was pronounced over you at your baptism?
8. Indeed, if you keep the royal law prescribed in the Scripture, Love your neighbor as yourself, you are doing well.
9. But if you show favoritism, you commit sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
