1 My brothers (and sisters), as you⁺ hold out your faith in our glorious Lord {Kyriou} Jesus (YHWH saves) Christ (the Anointed One), do not show favoritism. 2 Suppose a man comes into your⁺ meeting \your synagogue/ wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. 3 If you⁺ lavish attention on the man in fine clothes and say, “Here is a seat of honor, but say to the poor man, “You must stand or “Sit at my feet, 4 have you⁺ not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? 5 Listen, my beloved {agapētoi} brothers (and sisters): Has not God {Theos} chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love {agapōsin} Him? 6 But you⁺ have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who oppress you⁺ and drag you⁺ into court? 7 Are they not the ones who blaspheme the noble name by which you⁺ have been called (the noble name invoked upon you)?
