1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, of glory, with distinction of faces. 2 For if there come into your synagogue a man wearing gold rings on is fingers, in brilliant clothing, and there come in also a beggar in filthy clothing; 3 And ye look toward him bearing the brilliant clothing, and ye say to him, Sit thou well here; and to the beggar ye say, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: 4 Were ye not separated among yourselves, and become judges of evil reflections? 5 Hear, my dearly beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the beggars of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them loving him? 6 And ye have despised the beggar. Do not the rich bring you into subjection, and draw you before tribunals? 7 And do they not defame the good name called upon you? James 2:1-7, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
