knowing that whatever good any one does, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he is a servant or a freeman. And you masters, do the same things to them, leaving off threatening, knowing that you yourselves have a master in heaven, and there is no respect of persons with him.



My brethren, do not hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, so as to show a partiality for persons. For if there comes into your assembly a man in splendid apparel, and with gold rings on his fingers, and there comes in also a poor man, in mean clothing, and you show regard to him that wears the splendid apparel, and say to him, Sit here, in an honorable place; and you say to the poor man, Do you stand there, or sit here, under my footstool; read more.
are you not partial in yourselves? and do you not judge from false principles? Hear, my be loved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which God has promised to those who love him? But you dishonor the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and do they not themselves drag you to the judgment-seats? Do they not themselves revile that honorable name which is called upon you? If, however, you fulfill the law of highest excellence, according to the scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well. But if you show partiality for persons, you work sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
