James 2:5 in Context — James 2
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?
7 Não são eles que blasfemam o bom nome pelo qual sois chamados?
