Honor Godliness, Not Status
Commentators agree that a person fit for God's presence values others based on their spiritual character, not worldly status. They actively honor those who fear the Lord, regardless of their poverty, while refusing to flatter or respect the wicked, no matter how wealthy or powerful they are. As John Calvin notes, this is about making a free and upright judgment of human character.
