haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

Context

1My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.
2For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in,
3and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing and say, “Sit here in a good place;” and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool”
4haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
5Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
6But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?
7Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
