3. And you have respect to him that is clothed with the fine apparel, and shall say to him: Sit thou here well; but say to the poor man: Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool:
4. Do you not judge within yourselves, and are become judges of unjust thoughts?
5. Hearken, my dearest brethren: hath not God chosen the poor in this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which God hath promised to them that love him?
6. But you have dishonoured the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you by might? and do not they draw you before the judgment seats?
7. Do not they blaspheme the good name that is invoked upon you?
8. If then you fulfil the royal law, according to the scriptures, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; you do well.
9. But if you have respect to persons, you commit sin, being reproved by the law as transgressors.
10. And whosoever shall keep the whole law, but offend in one point, is become guilty of all.
