James 2:7 in context

  1. 5Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
  2. 6But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?
  3. 7Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
  4. 8However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.
  5. 9But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
