James 2:5-9

5Listen, my dear brothers and sisters! Didn’t God choose poor people in the world to become rich in faith and to receive the kingdom that he promised to those who love him?

6Yet, you show no respect to poor people. Don’t rich people oppress you and drag you into court?

7Don’t they curse the good name ⌞of Jesus⌟, the name that was used to bless you?

8You are doing right if you obey this law from the highest authority: “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”

9If you favor one person over another, you’re sinning, and this law convicts you of being disobedient.
