Peter said to the people, \u201cYou 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\u2019s why I didn\u2019t argue when your men asked me to come here. Now, please tell me why you sent for me.\u201d
\nActs 10:28-29 (ERV)<\/p>\n
Peter began to speak: \u201cI 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.\u201d
\nActs 10:34-35 (ERV)<\/p>\n
In this new life one\u2019s 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.
\nColossians 3:11 (TLB)<\/p>\n
God judges everyone the same. It doesn\u2019t matter who they are.
\nRomans 2:11 (ERV)<\/p>\n
But The Lord said to Samuel, \u201cEliab is tall and handsome, but don\u2019t judge by things like that. God doesn\u2019t 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.\u201d
\nI Samuel 16:7 (ERV)<\/p>\n
In Christ\u2019s 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\u2019s family, then you are Abraham\u2019s famous \u201cdescendant,\u201d heirs according to the covenant promises.
\nGalatians 3:28-29 (MSG)<\/p>\n
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, \u201cYou can stand over there, or else sit on the floor\u201d well, doesn\u2019t this discrimination show that your judgments are guided by evil motives?
\nJames 2:2-4 (NLT)<\/p>\n
Work happily together. Don\u2019t try to act big. Don\u2019t try to get into the good graces of important people, but enjoy the company of ordinary folks. And don\u2019t think you know it all!
\nRomans 12:16 (TLB)<\/p>\n
Because of the Grace that God gave me, I can say to each one of you: don\u2019t 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.
\nRomans 12:3 (CEB)<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t judge, so that you won\u2019t be judged. You\u2019ll receive the same judgment, you give. Whatever you deal out, will be dealt out to you.\u201d
\nMatthew 7:1-2 (CEB)<\/p>\n
God began by making one man, and from him, He made all the different people who live everywhere in the world. He decided exactly when and where they would live.
\nActs 17:26 (ERV)<\/p>\n
The rich and poor have this in common: The Lord made them both.
