What the Fathers say

James 2:1

Eastern Fathers

Theophylact of Ohrid

Whoever does anything with partiality brings great disgrace upon himself as one who does not respect his fellow and, even before his fellow, himself, because the treatment of one like oneself is also directed back to the one who acts.

Commentary on James ↗

Oecumenius

My brothers, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ with bias to individuals. "with bias to individuals." For he who does something with respect to individuals fills himself with many blemishes and much reproach, afflicting his neighbor with disgrace, and also himself before him: for the treatment of a companion transmits what is done even to oneself.
