James 2:1-6

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on James 2:1-6

1My brothers, as you hold out your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, do not show favoritism.
2Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in.
3If you lavish attention on the man in fine clothes and say, “Here is a seat of honor,” but say to the poor man, “You must stand” or “Sit at my feet,”
4have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
5Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him?
6But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who oppress you and drag you into court?
— James 2:1-6
