← James 2:2	James 2:3 (KJV)	James 2:4 →
For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;	And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:	Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
