James 2:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵ Listen, my beloved brothers and sisters. Has not God chosen the poor in the world to be rich in faith and to be heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him?^{(A) 6} But you have dishonored the poor person. Is it not the rich who oppress you? Is it not they who drag you into the courts?^{(B) 7} Is it not they who blaspheme the excellent name that was invoked over you?
