have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil motives?

have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
James 2:1-4 The Message (MSG)
My dear friends, don’t let public opinion influence how you live out our glorious, Christ-originated faith. If a man enters your church wearing an expensive suit, and a street person wearing rags comes in right after him, and you say to the man in the suit, “Sit here, sir; this is the best seat in the house!” and either ignore the street person or say, “Better sit here in the back row,” haven’t you segregated God’s children and proved that you are judges who can’t be trusted?
James 2:4 King James Version (KJV)
are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
James 2:4 New Century Version (NCV)
What are you doing? You are making some people more important than others, and with evil thoughts you are deciding that one person is better.
James 2:4 American Standard Version (ASV)
do ye not make distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
James 2:4 New International Version (NIV)
have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
