Dear brothers and sisters, how can you claim that you belong to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, If you show favoritism to rich people and look down on poor people?

James 2:1-5 If a man comes into your church dressed in expensive clothes and with valuable gold rings in his fingers, and at the same moment another man comes in who is poor and dressed in threadbare clothes, and you make a lot of fuss over the rich man and give him the best seat in the house and say to the poor man, “you can stand over there If you Like, or else sit on the floor”- well, judging a man by his wealth shows that you are guided by wrong motives.

⁵ Listen to me, dear brothers and sisters: God has chosen poor people to be rich in faith, and the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs, for that is the gift God has promised to all those who love Him. Amen.
