James:2:1-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
My brethren ,
have (
5720 )
not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
the Lord of glory ,
with respect of persons .
*
For if there come (
5632 )
unto your assembly a man with a gold ring ,
in goodly apparel ,
and there come in (
5632 )
also a poor man in vile raiment ;
*
And ye have respect (
5661 )
to him that weareth (
5723 )
the gay clothing ,
and say (
5632 )
unto him ,
Sit (
5737 )
thou here in a good place ;
and say (
5632 )
to the poor ,
Stand (
5628 )
thou there ,
or sit (
5737 )
here under my footstool :
*
Are ye not then partial (
5681 )
in yourselves ,
and are become (
5633 )
judges of evil thoughts ?
*
Hearken (
5657 ),
my beloved brethren ,
Hath not God chosen (
5668 )
the poor of this world rich in faith ,
and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised (
5662 )
to them that love (
5723 )
him ?
*
But ye have despised (
5656 )
the poor .
Do not rich men oppress (
5719 )
you ,
and draw (
5719 )
you before the judgment seats ?
*
Do not they blaspheme (
5719 )
that worthy name by the which ye are called (
5685 )?
*
If ye fulfil (
5719 )
the royal law according to the scripture ,
Thou shalt love (
5692 )
thy neighbour as thyself ,
ye do (
5719 )
well :
*
But if ye have respect to persons (
5719 ),
ye commit (
5736 )
sin ,
and are convinced (
5746 )
of the law as transgressors .
