James 2:9

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.”

yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.

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.”

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;

For there is no partiality with God.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin, except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting, unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”

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

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

These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality in judgment is not good.

May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, “that you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgment.”

We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

For the law produces wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.

Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory.

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,

God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn’t allow you to touch her.

They judged the people at all times. They brought the hard cases to Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

“ ‘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.

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.

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.

and said to the judges, “Consider what you do, for you don’t judge for man, but for Yahweh; and he is with you in the judgment.

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.

For they speak against you wickedly. Your enemies take your name in vain.

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

Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy.”

“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.

The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

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

For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?

Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;

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.

that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness, sexual immorality, and lustfulness which they committed.

You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.

No one is greater in this house than I am, and he has not kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”

Let them judge the people at all times. It shall be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they shall judge themselves. So shall it be easier for you, and they shall share the load with you.

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.”

Shall we then listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?”

“Truly I know that it is so, but how can man be just with God?

Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.

Don’t enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.

You are righteous, Yahweh, when I contend with you; yet I would like to reason the cause with you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are they all at ease who deal very treacherously?

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.

He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him,

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

For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.

Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered Ezra, “We have trespassed against our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land. Yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.

He will surely reprove you if you secretly show partiality.

Against you, and you only, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight, so you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.

Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.

For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.

Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
