5. Listen, my dear brothers and sisters! God chose the poor people of this world to be rich in faith and to possess the kingdom which he promised to those who love him.
6. But you dishonour the poor! Who are the ones who oppress you and drag you before the judges? The rich!
7. They are the ones who speak evil of that good name which has been given to you.
8. You will be doing the right thing if you obey the law of the Kingdom, which is found in the scripture, “Love your neighbour as you love yourself.”
9. But if you treat people according to their outward appearance, you are guilty of sin, and the Law condemns you as a lawbreaker.
