These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
Proverbs 28:21To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
James 2:1My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
James 2:2For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
James 2:3And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
James 2:4Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
James 2:5Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
James 2:6But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
James 2:7Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
James 2:8If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
James 2:9But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
