Santiago 2:3

Listen to Santiago 2:3
3 Si ustedes le dan un trato preferencial a la persona rica y le dan un buen asiento, pero al pobre le dicen: 芦T煤 puedes quedarte de pie all谩 o bien sentarte en el piso禄, 驴acaso

Santiago 2:3 Meaning and Commentary

James 2:3

And ye have respect to him that wears the gay clothing
Take notice of him, and show favour to him, to the neglect and contempt of the other. This is an instance of respect of persons condemned and dissuaded from:

and say unto him, sit thou here in a good place;
the best place; whether it be in a religious assembly, or in a civil court of judicature:

and say to the poor, stand thou there;
or in a lower and meaner place:

or sit thou here under my footstool;
this also was contrary to the Jewish canons F20, that one should sit, and another stand, while their cause was trying; the law runs thus:

``one shall not sit, and another stand, but both shall stand; but if the sanhedrim, or court, please to let them sit, they sit; but one does not sit above, and the other below; but one by the side of the other.''

Santiago 2:3 In-Context

1 No mostrar preferencia entre las personas
Mis amados hermanos, 驴c贸mo pueden afirmar que tienen fe en nuestro glorioso Se帽or Jesucristo si favorecen m谩s a algunas personas que a otras?
2 Por ejemplo, supongamos que alguien llega a su reuni贸n
vestido con ropa elegante y joyas costosas y al mismo tiempo entra una persona pobre y con ropa sucia.
3 Si ustedes le dan un trato preferencial a la persona rica y le dan un buen asiento, pero al pobre le dicen: 芦T煤 puedes quedarte de pie all谩 o bien sentarte en el piso禄, 驴acaso
4 esta discriminaci贸n no demuestra que sus juicios son guiados por malas intenciones?
5 Esc煤chenme, amados hermanos. 驴No eligi贸 Dios a los pobres de este mundo para que sean ricos en fe? 驴No son ellos los que heredar谩n el reino que Dios prometi贸 a quienes lo aman?
