1My brothers, don`t hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.

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

3and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing, and say, "Sit here in a good place;" and you tell the poor man, "Stand there," or "Sit by my footstool;"

4haven`t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
