Peter said to the people, “You understand that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit anyone who is not a Jew. But God has shown me that I should not consider anyone unfit or say they are not pure. That’s why I didn’t argue when your men asked me to come here. Now, please tell me why you sent for me.”
Acts 10:28-29 (ERV)
Peter began to speak: “I really understand now that God does not consider some people to be better than others. He accepts anyone who worships Him and does what is right. It is not important what nation they come from.”
Acts 10:34-35 (ERV)
In this new life one’s nationality or race or education or social position is unimportant; such things mean nothing. Whether a person has Christ is what matters, and He is equally available to all.
Colossians 3:11 (TLB)
God judges everyone the same. It doesn’t matter who they are.
Romans 2:11 (ERV)
But The Lord said to Samuel, “Eliab is tall and handsome, but don’t judge by things like that. God doesn’t look at what people see. People judge by what is on the outside, but The Lord looks at the heart. Eliab is not the right man.”
I Samuel 16:7 (ERV)
In Christ’s family there can be no division into Jew and non-Jew, slave and free, male and female. Among us you are all equal. That is, we are all in a common relationship with Jesus Christ. Also, since you are Christ’s family, then you are Abraham’s famous “descendant,” heirs according to the covenant promises.
Galatians 3:28-29 (MSG)
For example, suppose someone comes into your meeting dressed in fancy clothes and expensive jewelry, and another comes in who is poor and dressed in dirty clothes. If you give special attention and a good seat to the rich person, but you say to the poor one, “You can stand over there, or else sit on the floor” well, doesn’t this discrimination show that your judgments are guided by evil motives?
James 2:2-4 (NLT)
Work happily together. Don’t try to act big. Don’t try to get into the good graces of important people, but enjoy the company of ordinary folks. And don’t think you know it all!
Romans 12:16 (TLB)
Because of the Grace that God gave me, I can say to each one of you: don’t think of yourself more highly than you ought to think. Instead, be reasonable since God has measured out a portion of faith to each one of you.
Romans 12:3 (CEB)
“Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged. You’ll receive the same judgment, you give. Whatever you deal out, will be dealt out to you.”
