James 2:4

Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think about these things.

Now therefore let the fear of Yahweh be on you. Take heed and do it; for there is no iniquity with Yahweh our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.”

For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn’t respect persons or take bribes.

His delight will be in the fear of Yahweh. He will not judge by the sight of his eyes, neither decide by the hearing of his ears;

Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

For there is no partiality with God.

But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.

You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God’s. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.”

But Yahweh said to Samuel, “Don’t look on his face, or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for I don’t see as man sees. For man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart.”

Yahweh will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

To be partial to the faces of the wicked is not good, nor to deprive the innocent of justice.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,

You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.

For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Listen, 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?

But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear,

I commanded your judges at that time, saying, “Hear cases between your brothers and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is living with him.

I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

The heart is deceitful above all things and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it?

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

Jesus answered him, “Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”

If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

For David says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.

But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.

Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,

Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,

Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.

You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality. You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.

“Therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘I said indeed that your house and the house of your father should walk before me forever.’ But now Yahweh says, ‘Far be it from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me will be cursed.

Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.

Yahweh is your keeper. Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.

An evil speaker won’t be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.

He will say, “Build up, build up, prepare the way! Remove the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.”

Then Jeremiah spoke to all the princes and to all the people, saying, “Yahweh sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.

I will throw abominable filth on you, and make you vile, and will set you a spectacle.

“Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged.

Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.

They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach, for you aren’t partial to anyone.

Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.

For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”

Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;

Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,

where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Christ is all, and in all.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.

Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.

Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,

“ ‘You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind; but you shall fear your God. I am Yahweh.

“ ‘You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great; but you shall judge your neighbor in righteousness.

Please don’t let me respect any man’s person, neither will I give flattering titles to any man.

He doesn’t respect the persons of princes, nor respect the rich more than the poor; for they all are the work of his hands.

The rich and the poor have this in common: Yahweh is the maker of them all.

If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a district, don’t marvel at the matter, for one official is eyed by a higher one, and there are officials over them.

Now if you are ready whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music to fall down and worship the image which I have made, good; but if you don’t worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the middle of a burning fiery furnace. Who is that god that will deliver you out of my hands?”

“Therefore I have also made you contemptible and wicked before all the people, according to the way you have not kept my ways, but have had respect for persons in the law.

For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,

He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.

Don’t let him who eats despise him who doesn’t eat. Don’t let him who doesn’t eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him.

Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.

Don’t speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

“Behold, I know your thoughts, the plans with which you would wrong me.

Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?

“How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?”

For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.

You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,
