James 2: 1-5

My brothers, do not let class distinction enter into your faith in Jesus Christ, our glorified Lord.

Now suppose a man comes into your synagogue, well-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.'In making this distinction among yourselves have you not used a corrupt standard?
