Verses2:1 My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. 2:2 For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes and there also comes in a poor man in dirty clothes 2:3 and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes and say, "You sit here in a good place," and you say to the poor man, "You stand over there or sit down by my footstool," 2:4 have you not made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil motives?

Verses2:5 Listen, my beloved brethren: did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? 2:6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you and personally drag you into court? 2:7 Do they not blaspheme the fair name by which you have been called? 2:8 If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF," you are doing well. 2:9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

Valuation
• What do others think about partiality?“When I worked at [blank], I was a favorite of a couple of the managers because I worked hard and wouldn't do what they asked me to if it was unethical. When I first refused to, he swore at me but afterward decided I was impressive and defended me and gave me every shift off I wanted. It felt nice to be favored, but it got me ill will from some of my employees and one other manager.”
