"If a man with gold rings on his fingers and in splendid clothing comes into your meeting, but a poor man in filthy clothing also enters,do you look with favor on the one wearing the splendid clothing and say, âYou take this seat here in a fine place,â and do you say to the poor one, âYou keep standingâ or, âTake that seat there under my footstoolâ? If so, do you not have class distinctions among yourselves, and have you not become judges rendering wicked decisions?"
