James 2:2-6
James 2:2
For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and is dressed in bright clothes, and a poor man in dirty clothes also comes in,
James 2:3
and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the bright clothes, and say, “You sit here in a good place,” and you say to the poor man, “You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool,”
James 2:4
have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil motives?
James 2:5
Listen, my beloved brothers and sisters: did God not choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?
James 2:6
But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you and personally drag you into court?
