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.
