But if you have respect to persons, you commit sin, and are convicted of the law as transgressors.
All Commentaries on James 2:9 Go To James 2
Hilary of Arles
AD 449
It is a sin to show any class distinction among persons, for the law says: "You shall not be partial in judgment, you shall hear the small and the great alike.(Deut 1:17)" Jesus confirmed this when he said: "Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.(Jn 7:24)"
