James 2:2-5
2For ifG1437 a manG435 comesG1525 into your 1assemblyG4864 with a goldG5554 ringG5554 and dressed in 23fineG2986 clothesG2066, and there alsoG2532 comesG1525 in a poorG4434 manG4434 in 4dirtyG4508 clothesG2066,
3and you 5payG1914 specialG1914 attentionG1914 to the one who is wearingG5409 the 6fineG2986 clothesG2066, and sayG3004, “You sitG2521 hereG5602 in a goodG2573 place,” and you sayG3004 to the poorG4434 manG4434, “You standG2476 overG1563 thereG1563, orG2228 sitG2521 downG2521 by my footstoolG5286,”
4have you not madeG1252 distinctionsG1252 amongG1722 yourselvesG1438, and becomeG1096 judgesG2923 7with evilG4190 8motivesG1261?
5ListenG191, 9my belovedG27 brethrenG80: did not 10GodG2316 chooseG1586 the poorG4434 11of thisG3588 worldG2889 to be 12richG4145 in faithG4102 and 13heirsG2818 of the kingdomG932 whichG3739 He 14promisedG1861 to thoseG3588 who loveG25 Him?
