James 2:3 in Context — James 2
1 HERMANOS míos, no tengáis la fe de nuestro Señor Jesucristo glorioso en acepción de personas.
2 Porque si en vuestra congregación entra un hombre con anillo de oro, y de preciosa ropa, y también entra un pobre con vestidura vil,
3 Y tuviereis respeto al que trae la vestidura preciosa, y le dijereis: Siéntate tú aquí en buen lugar: y dijereis al pobre: Estáte tú allí en pie; ó siéntate aquí debajo de mi estrado:
4 ¿No juzgáis en vosotros mismos, y venís á ser jueces de pensamientos malos?
5 Hermanos míos amados, oid: ¿No ha elegido Dios los pobres de este mundo, ricos en fe, y herederos del reino que ha prometido á los que le aman?
