ગુજરાતીયાકૂબનો પત્ર ૨:૩
ત્યારે તમે સુંદર કિંમતી વસ્ત્ર ધારણ કરેલા માણસને માન આપીને કહો છો, ‘તમે અહીં ઉત્તમ સ્થાને બેસો,’ પણ પેલા ગરીબને કહો છો, ‘તું ત્યાં ઊભો રહે,’ અથવા ‘અહીં મારા પગનાં આસન પાસે બેસ;’
हिन्दीयाकूब २:३
और तुम उस सुन्दर वस्त्रवाले पर ध्यान केन्द्रित करके कहो, “तू यहाँ अच्छी जगह बैठ,” और उस कंगाल से कहो, “तू वहाँ खड़ा रह,” या “मेरे पाँवों के पास बैठ।”

In context

1My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality.

2For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in,

3and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing and say, “Sit here in a good place;” and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool”

4haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

5Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
