27 Pure sreligion and undefiled before tGod and the Father is this, To uvisit vthe wfatherless and vwidows in their affliction, and xto keep himself yunspotted from the world.

2 My brethren, have not athe faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, bthe Lord of glory, cwith respect of persons. 2 For if there come unto your †assembly a man with a gold ring, in dgoodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; 3 And ye ehave respect to him that weareth the dgay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here ||in a good place; and fsay to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: 4 Are ye not then gipartial in yourselves, and are become judges of hievil thoughts? 5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God klchosen the poor of this world mrich in faith, and nheirs of ||othe kingdom pwhich he hath promised to qthem that love him? 6 But ye have rdespised the poor. Do not rich men soppress you, and tdraw you ubefore the judgment seats? 7 Do not they vblaspheme that worthy name wby the which ye are called? 8 If ye fulfil xthe royal law according to xxthe scripture, yThou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9 But cif ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are zconvinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet aoffend in one point, bhe is cguilty of all. 11 For ||he that said, dDo not commit adultery, said also, dDo not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
