My brethren, do not, with respect for persons, be holding the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. For, if there enter into your synagogue a man wearing gold rings in gay clothing, and there enter a destitute man also, in soiled clothing, - And ye eye him that hath on the gay clothing, and say, Thou, be sitting here, pleasantly, - and, unto the destitute man, say - Thou, stand, or sit there under my footstool, read more.
Would ye not have been led to make distinctions among yourselves, and have become judges with wicked reasonings? Hearken! my brethren beloved: - Hath not, God, chosen the destitute in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? Whereas, ye, have dishonoured the destitute man! Do not, the rich, oppress you? and, themselves, drag you into courts of justice? Do not, they, defame the noble name which hath been invoked upon you? If ye are, indeed, fulfilling, a royal law, according to the scripture - Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, nobly, are ye doing; But, if ye are shewing respect of persons, sin, are ye working, being convicted by the law as transgressors!
