"haven't you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?"
— James 2:4, World English Bible
“Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?”
“do ye not make distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? ”
“If so, have you not made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil motives?”
“Do you not judge within yourselves, and are become judges of unjust thoughts?”
“Is there not a division in your minds? have you not become judges with evil thoughts?”
“Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?”
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?
But you have dishonored the poor man. Don't the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?
Don't they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
