American Standard Version
"For if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, and there come in also a poor man in vile clothing; "
— James 2:2, American Standard Version
“For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;”
“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;”
“For if someone comes into your assembly wearing a gold ring and fine clothing, and a poor person enters in filthy clothes,”
“For if there shall come into your assembly a man having a golden ring, in fine apparel; and there shall come in also a poor man in mean attire:”
“For if a man comes into your Synagogue in fair clothing and with a gold ring, and a poor man comes in with dirty clothing,”
“For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;”
My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lordof glory, with respect of persons.
For if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, and there come in also a poor man in vile clothing;
and ye have regard to him that weareth the fine clothing, and say, Sit thou here in a good place; and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool;
do ye not make distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?
