“My brothers and
sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show
favoritism. 2 Suppose a man
comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in
filthy old clothes also comes in. 3 If
you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a
good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the
floor by my feet,” 4 have
you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil
thoughts?
5 Listen,
my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the
eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the
kingdom he promised those who love him? 6 But
you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you?
Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? 7 Are they not the ones who are blaspheming
the noble name of him to whom you belong?”
Enough
said!
