James 2:4 in Context — James 2

2 Pois se algum homem entrar na vossa congregação com anéis de ouro e trajes preciosos, e também entrar algum pobre com roupa de pouco valor,

3 e derdes atenção ao que usa o traje precioso, e lhe disserdes: “Senta aqui, num lugar de honra”, mas ao pobre disserdes: “Fica ali em pé” ou “senta-te aqui abaixo do apoio dos meus pés”,

4 por acaso não fizestes discriminação entre vós mesmos, e não vos tornastes juízes de maus pensamentos?

5 Ouvi, meus amados irmãos: acaso Deus não escolheu os pobres deste mundo para [serem] ricos na fé, e herdeiros do reino que ele prometeu aos que o amam?

6 Vós, porém, desonrastes o pobre. Acaso não são os ricos que vos oprimem e vos arrastam para os tribunais?
