James 2:2-4

Evangelical Heritage Version

² For example, suppose a man enters your worship assembly^[a] wearing gold rings and fine clothing, and a poor man also enters wearing filthy clothing. ³ If you look with favor on the man wearing fine clothing and say, “Sit here in this good place,” but you tell the poor man, “Stand over there” or “Sit down here^[b] at my feet,” ⁴ have you not made a distinction among yourselves and become judges with evil opinions?
