Did I ever think scorn to do right unto my servants and maidens, when they had any matter against me? But seeing that God will sit in judgment, what shall I do? And for so much as he will needs visit me, what answer shall I give him? He that fashioned me in my mother's womb, made he not him also? Were we not both shapen alike in our mother's bodies?

are ye not even partial in your selves, and have judged after evil thoughts? Hearken, my dear beloved brethren, hath not God chosen the poor of this world, which are rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to them that love him? But ye have despised the poor. Are not the rich they which oppress you: and they which draw you before judges? Do not they speak evil of that good name after which ye be named? If ye fulfil the royal law - according to the scripture which saith, "Thou shalt love thine neighbour as thyself" - ye do well. But if ye regard one person more than another, ye commit sin, and are rebuked of the law as transgressors.
