James 2:1
Regard Due to Poor Christians; Partiality CondemnedIn this section, James warns Christians against showing favoritism, especially in the church. He explains that treating people differently because of their wealth or social status is a serious sin. James teaches that true faith in Jesus Christ should lead us to treat everyone with equal respect, no matter how rich or poor they are.v. 1: James commands believers not to have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, while showing favoritism. Christians should remember that Jesus is glorious, and all who believe in him—rich or poor—share in his glory. We should not judge people by their wealth or appearance, but by their relationship with Christ (James 2:1 a).
