James 2:4

โ€œhaven't you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?โ€

Verse in context โ€” James 2

2

For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in;

3

and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing, and say, "Sit here in a good place;" and you tell the poor man, "Stand there," or "Sit by my footstool;

4

haven't you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

5

Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn't God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

6

But you have dishonored the poor man. Don't the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?
