James 2:6 Context
4Are yee not then partiall in your selues, and are become iudges of euill thoughts? 5Hearken, my beloued brethren, Hath not God chosen the poore of this world, rich in faith, and heires of the kingdome, which hee hath promised to them that loue him? 6But yee haue despised the poore. Doe not rich men oppresse you, and draw you before the Iudgement seats? 7Doe not they blaspheme that worthy Name, by the which ye are called? 8If ye fulfil the royall Law, according to the Scripture, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe, ye doe well.
