Listen to Giacomo 2:4
4 non avete voi fatta differenza in voi stessi? e non siete voi divenuti de’ giudici con malvagi pensieri?

Giacomo 2:4 Meaning and Commentary

James 2:4

Are ye not then partial in yourselves
That is, guilty of such partiality as must appear to yourselves, and your own consciences must accuse you of; or do not ye distinguish, or make a difference among yourselves, by such a conduct, towards the rich and the poor:

and are become judges of evil thoughts;
or "are distinguishers by evil thoughts"; that is, make a distinction between the rich and the poor, by an evil way of thinking, that one is better than the other, and to be preferred before him.

Giacomo 2:4 In-Context

2 Perciocchè, se nella vostra raunanza entra un uomo con l’anel d’oro, in vestimento splendido; e v’entra parimente un povero, in vestimento sozzo;
3 e voi riguardate a colui che porta il vestimento splendido, e gli dite: Tu, siedi qui onorevolmente; e al povero dite: Tu, stattene quivi in piè, o siedi qui sotto allo scannello de’ miei piedi;
4 non avete voi fatta differenza in voi stessi? e non siete voi divenuti de’ giudici con malvagi pensieri?
5 Ascoltate, fratelli miei diletti: non ha Iddio eletti i poveri del mondo, per esser ricchi in fede, ed eredi dell’eredità ch’egli ha promessa a coloro che l’amano?
6 Ma voi avete disonorato il povero. I ricchi non son eglino quelli che vi tiranneggiano? non son eglino quelli che vi traggono alle corti?
