World English Bible
"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;"
— James 2:2, World English Bible
“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 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; ”
“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 brothers, don't hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.
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;
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;"
haven't you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
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?
