1. My dear brothers, you are believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ. So never think that some people are more important than others.
2. Suppose someone comes into your church meeting wearing very nice clothes and a gold ring. At the same time a poor man comes in wearing old, dirty clothes.
3. You show special attention to the one wearing nice clothes. You say, “Please, sit here in this good seat.” But you say to the poor man, “Stand over there,” or “Sit on the floor by my feet!”
4. What are you doing? You are making some people more important than others. With evil thoughts you are deciding which person is better.
