    I do understand the real meaning of this verse to be that we should not have "respect of persons" but see & treat everyone with respect. However, I have trouble with the word "not" which seems to have the opposite meaning. I am a full believer in the

    scripture so I am not trying to discredit verse - just trying to understand more.

    James 2:1 "My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons."

    Hi Joe , I think you are on the right path , treat everyone with the same respect , rich , poor , whatever colour or creed they are . Be kind to all in the same measure and you can't go wrong .

    Hi Joe. What you read in James 2:1 is simply another way of saying what you believe is true, i.e. we should not show partiality to certain people in the Church, especially as shown in the following verses (examples). So, we could read the verse as, 'My brethren, the faith you hold in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, should not be tainted with partiality'. I trust that makes it a little more clearer.
