My brothers, do not try to combine faith in Jesus Christ, our glorified Lord, with the making of distinctions between classes of people. Now suppose a man comes into your synagogue, beautifully dressed and with a gold ring on, and at the same time a poor man comes in, in shabby clothes, and you take notice of the well-dressed man, and say, "Come this way to the best seats;" then you tell the poor man, "Stand over there" or "You can sit on the floor by my foot rest." Can't you see that you have used two different standards in your mind, and turned yourselves into judges and corrupt judges at that? Listen, it was those who are poor according to the world that God chose.
James 2:1-9
