James 2:2-7

2ForG1063 ifG1437 there comeG1525 untoG1519 yourG4771 synagogueG3588G4864 a manG435 with a gold ringG5554, inG1722 goodlyG2986 apparelG2066, andG1161 there come inG1525 alsoG2532 a poor manG4434 inG1722 vileG4508 raimentG2066;

3AndG2532 ye have respectG1914 toG1909 him thatG3588 wearethG5409 the gayG2986 clothingG3588G2066, andG2532 sayG3004 unto himG846, SitG2521 thouG4771 hereG5602 in a good placeG2573; andG2532 sayG3004 to the poorG4434, StandG2476 thouG4771 thereG1563, orG2228 sitG2521 hereG5602 underG5259 myG1473 footstoolG3588G5286:

4Are yeG1252 notG3756 thenG2532 partialG1252 inG1722 yourselvesG1438, andG2532 are becomeG1096 judgesG2923 of evilG4190 thoughtsG1261?

5HearkenG191, myG1473 belovedG27 brethrenG80, HathG1586 notG3756 GodG3588G2316 chosenG1586 the poorG4434 of thisG3778 worldG3588G2889 richG4145 inG1722 faithG4102, andG2532 heirsG2818 of the kingdomG3588G932 whichG3739 he hath promisedG1861 to them thatG3588 loveG25 himG846?

6ButG1161 yeG4771 have despisedG818 the poorG4434. DoG2616 notG3756 rich menG4145 oppressG2616 youG4771, andG2532 drawG1670 youG4771 beforeG1519 the judgment seatsG2922?

7DoG987 notG3756 theyG846 blasphemeG987 that worthyG2570 nameG3686 byG1909 the whichG3588 yeG4771 are calledG1941?
