James 2:1-4
11My brothersG80 and sisters, 2do not holdG2192 your faithG4102 in our 3gloriousG1391 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 with an attitude of 4personalG4382 favoritismG4382.
2For ifG1437 a manG435 comesG1525 into your 5assemblyG4864 with a goldG5554 ringG5554 and is dressed in 6brightG2986 clothesG2066, and a poorG4434 manG4434 in 7dirtyG4508 clothesG2066 alsoG2532 comesG1525 inG1525,
3and you 8payG1914 specialG1914 attentionG1914 to the one who is wearingG5409 the 9brightG2986 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 10with evilG4190 11motivesG1261?
