- My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.
- For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in,
- and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, “You sit here in a good place,” while you say to the poor man, “You stand over there,” or, “Sit down at my feet,”
- have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
…
- If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
- But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
- For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it.
- For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
- So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty.
- For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
