1. My brothers and sisters, do not hold the faith of our glorious Lord Yeshua the Messiah while showing favoritism.
2. For if a man with a gold ring and fine clothes comes into your synagogue, and a poor person in filthy clothes also comes in;
3. and you pay special attention to the one wearing the fine clothing and you say, “Sit here in a good place”; and you say to the poor person, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool”;
4. haven’t you made distinctions between yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
5. Listen, my dear brothers and sisters. Didn’t God choose the poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom that He promised to those who love Him?
6. But you have dishonored the poor person. Isn’t it the rich who oppress you and drag you into court?
