 2For if there come into your meeting a man gold-ringed in splendid clothing, and there come in also a poor one in vile clothing;
 3and ye look upon him that weareth the splendid clothing, and say, Sit thou here well; and ye say to the poor one, Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool,
 4did you not make a difference among yourselves and become judges of evil thoughts?
 5Hear, my beloved brethren; did not God choose the poor as to the world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those that love him?
 6But ye dishonoured the poor [man]. Do not the rich oppress you, and they drag you before tribunals? (James 2:1‑6)
