James 2:2

For if there come unto your assembly; either church assemblies for worship, Hebrews 10:25; and in these we find some respect of men's persons, which may here be blamed: see 1 Corinthians 11:20. Or their assemblies for disposing church offices, and deciding church controversies, &c.; for he speaks of such respecting men's persons as is condemned by the law, James 2:9, which was especially in judgment. A man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel; the usual ensigns of honourable or rich persons, Genesis 38:18,25 Genesis 41:42 Luke 15:22, Luke 16:19. And there come in also a poor man; the word signifies one very poor, even to beggarliness. In vile raiment; filthy and sordid, Malachi 3:3,4, the sign of extreme poverty.
