James 2:6

6 But you have dishonored the poor. Don't the wealthy make life difficult for you? Aren't they the ones who drag you into court?

James 2:6 In-Context

4 Wouldn't you have shown favoritism among yourselves and become evil-minded judges?
5 My dear brothers and sisters, listen! Hasn't God chosen those who are poor by worldly standards to be rich in terms of faith? Hasn't God chosen the poor as heirs of the kingdom he has promised to those who love him?
6 But you have dishonored the poor. Don't the wealthy make life difficult for you? Aren't they the ones who drag you into court?
7 Aren't they the ones who insult the good name spoken over you at your baptism?
8 You do well when you really fulfill the royal law found in scripture, Love your neighbor as yourself.
