James 2:1-3 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. My brothers, do not show favoritism as you hold on to the faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ.

2. For example, a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and a poor man dressed in dirty clothes also comes in.

3. If you look with favor on the man wearing the fine clothes and say, “Sit here in a good place,” and yet you say to the poor man, “Stand over there,” or, “Sit here on the floor by my footstool,”
