James 2:3-6
3and you 1payG1914 specialG1914 attentionG1914 to the one who is wearingG5409 the 2brightG2986 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 3with evilG4190 4motivesG1261?
5ListenG191, 5my belovedG27 brothersG80 and sisters: did 6GodG2316 not chooseG1586 the poorG4434 7of thisG3588 worldG2889 to be 8richG4145 in faithG4102 and 9heirsG2818 of the kingdomG932 whichG3739 He 10promisedG1861 to thoseG3588 who loveG25 Him?
6But you have dishonoredG818 the poorG4434 manG4434. Is it not the richG4145 who oppressG2616 you and 11personallyG846 12dragG1670 you into 13courtG2922?
