A Warning against Favoritism 1 TNT Brethren have not the fayth of oure lorde Iesus Christ the lorde of glory in respecte of persons. BSB BSB: My brothers, as you hold out your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, do not show favoritism.
2 TNT Yf ther come into youre company a man with a golden rynge and in goodly aparell and ther come in also a poore man in vyle rayment BSB BSB: Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in.
3 TNT and ye have a respecte to him that weareth the gaye clothynge and saye vnto him. Sit thou here in a good place: and saye vnto the poore stonde thou there or sit here vnder my fotestole: BSB BSB: If you lavish attention on the man in fine clothes and say, “Here is a seat of honor,” but say to the poor man, “You must stand” or “Sit at my feet,”
4 TNT are ye not parciall in youre selves and have iudged after evyll thoughtes? BSB BSB: have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 TNT Harken my deare beloved brethren. Hath not God chosen the poore of this worlde which are ryche in fayth and heyres of the kyngdom which he promysed to them that love him? BSB BSB: Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him?
6 TNT But ye have despised the poore. Are not the rych they which opresse you: and they which drawe you before iudges? BSB BSB: But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who oppress you and drag you into court?
7 TNT Do not they speake evyll of that good name after which ye be named. BSB BSB: Are they not the ones who blaspheme the noble name by which you have been called?
8 TNT Yf ye fulfill the royall lawe accordynge to the scripture which sayth. Thou shallt love thyne neghbour as thy silfe ye do well. BSB BSB: If you really fulfill the royal law stated in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
9 TNT But yf ye regarde one person more then another ye commit synne and are rebuked of the lawe as transgressours. BSB BSB: But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
10 TNT Whosoever shall kepe the whole lawe and yet fayle in one poynt he is gyltie in all. BSB BSB: Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
11 TNT For he that sayd. Thou shallt not commit adulterie sayed also: thou shallt not kyll. Though thou do none adulterie yet yf thou kill thou arte a transgresser of the lawe. BSB BSB: For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
12 TNT So speake ye and so do as they that shalbe iudged by the lawe of libertie. BSB BSB: Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom.
13 TNT For ther shalbe iudgement merciles to him that sheweth no mercy and mercy reioyseth agaynst iudgement: BSB BSB: For judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

BSB BSB: And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God.
25 TNT Lyke wyse also was not Raab the harlot iustifyed thorow workes when she receaved the messengers and sent the out another waye? BSB BSB: In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute justified by her actions when she welcomed the spies and sent them off on another route?
