The Sin of Favoritism

2 ^(A)My brothers, ^(B)do not hold your faith in our ^[a](C)glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of ^(D)personal favoritism. ² For if a man comes into your ^[b]assembly with a gold ring and dressed in ^(E)bright clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in ^(F)dirty clothes, ³ and you ^[c]pay special attention to the one who is wearing the ^(G)bright clothes, and say, “You sit here in a good place,” and you say to the poor man, “You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool,” ⁴ have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges ^(H)with evil thoughts?
