James 2:5 Context
3And yee haue respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say vnto him, Sit thou here in a good place: and say to the poore, Stand thou there, or sit here vnder my footstoole: 4Are yee not then partiall in your selues, and are become iudges of euill thoughts? 5Hearken, my beloued brethren, Hath not God chosen the poore of this world, rich in faith, and heires of the kingdome, which hee hath promised to them that loue him? 6But yee haue despised the poore. Doe not rich men oppresse you, and draw you before the Iudgement seats? 7Doe not they blaspheme that worthy Name, by the which ye are called?
