My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say: You sit here in a good place,” while you say to the poor man: You stand over there, or, Sit down at my feet, have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?  James 2:1-4
