My brothers,as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Chris,dont show favoritism.Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and a fine clothing,and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in.lf you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say,Heres a good seat for you,but say to the poor man,You stand thereor sit on the floor by my feet,have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? Listen ,my dear brothers;Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?But you have insulted the poor.Is it not the rich who are exploiting you?Are they not the ones who dragging you into courts?Are they not the ones who are slandering the noble name of him who belong? If you really keep the royal law found in the Scripture,Love your neighbor as yourself.you are doing right.But if you show favoritism,you sin and are convicted by the law as law-breaker.For whoever keeps the whole law yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking it all. Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom because judgement without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful.Mercy triumphs over judgement.[James 2;:1-13]
