James 2:3 ASV

¹  My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, `the Lord' of glory, with respect of persons.

²  For if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, and there come in also a poor man in vile clothing;

³  and ye have regard to him that weareth the fine clothing, and say, Sit thou here in a good place; and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool;

⁴  Do ye not make distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

⁵  Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world `to be' rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?
