- My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
- 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;
- And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
- Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
- Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

- 我的弟兄们,你们信奉我们荣耀的主耶稣基督,便不可按着外貌待人。
- 若有一个人带着金戒指,穿着华美衣服,进你们的会堂去。又有一个穷人,穿着肮脏衣服也进去。
- 你们就重看那穿华美衣服的人,说,请坐在这好位上。又对那穷人说,你站在那里,或坐在我脚凳下边。
- 这岂不是你们用偏心待人,用恶意断定人麽。
- 我亲爱的弟兄们请听,神岂不是拣选了世上的贫穷人,叫他们在信上富足,并承受他所应许给那些爱他之人的国麽。
