Jam 2:1 | CPDV | STEP | My brothers, within the glorious faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, do not choose to show favoritism toward persons.

James 2:1

Against respect of persons. The danger of transgressing one point of the law. Faith is dead without works.

1 My brothers, within the glorious faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, do not choose to show favoritism toward persons. ^{▼▼2:1 With respect of persons: The meaning is, that in matters relating to faith, the administering of the sacraments, and other spiritual functions in God’s church, there should be no respect of persons; but that the souls of the poor should be as much regarded as those of the rich. See Deut. 1.17.(Challoner)}
