My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing right. But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. (James 2:1, 5, 8, 9 NIV)
The outside is so easy to judge. None of us know what god knows about people. We must never judge people by the outward appearance.
Besides, who are we to judge at all. For as much as we judge others, god will judge us. That's worth paying attention to.
