James 2v1-7

Heavenly father
give us grace today to honour all people 

1 My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality. 
² For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, 
and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in, 
³ and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing and say, “Sit here in a good place;”
and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool” 
⁴ haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? 
⁵ Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith,
and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him? 
⁶ But you have dishonoured the poor man.
Don’t the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts? 
⁷ Don’t they blaspheme the honourable name by which you are called?
