Shall not

For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, strong in power and greatly to be feared, who has no respect for any man's position and takes no rewards:

You are not to be moved in your judging by a man's position, you are not to take rewards; for rewards make the eyes of the wise man blind, and the decisions of the upright false.

Do no wrong in your judging: do not give thought to the position of the poor, or honour to the position of the great; but be a judge to your neighbour in righteousness.

But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not take note of his face or how tall he is, because I will not have him: for the Lord's view is not man's; man takes note of the outer form, but the Lord sees the heart.

For death comes to us all, and we are like water drained out on the earth, which it is not possible to take up again; and God will not take away the life of the man whose purpose is that he who has been sent away may not be completely cut off from him.

These are more sayings of the wise: To have respect for a person's position when judging is not good.

And they put a question to him, saying, Master, we are certain that your teaching and your words are right, and that you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God:

Then Peter said, Truly, I see clearly that God is no respecter of persons:

For one man is not different from another before God.

And, you masters, do the same things to them, not making use of violent words: in the knowledge that their Master and yours is in heaven, and he has no respect for a man's position.

For the wrongdoer will have punishment for the wrong he has done, without respect for any man's position.

My brothers, if you have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, do not take a man's position into account.

And if you give the name of Father to him who, judging every man by his acts, has no respect for a man's position, then go in fear while you are on this earth:

Ye shall hear

But, on the other hand, do not be turned from what is right in order to give support to a poor man's cause.

Here I am: give witness against me before the Lord and before the man on whom he has put the holy oil: whose ox or ass have I taken? to whom have I been untrue? who has been crushed down by me? from whose hand have I taken a price for the blinding of my eyes? I will give it all back to you.

For you have taken your brother's goods when he was not in your debt, and have taken away the clothing of those who have need of it.

For when it came to their ears, men said that I was truly happy; and when their eyes saw, they gave witness to me;

If I did wrong in the cause of my man-servant, or my woman-servant, when they went to law with me;

Do not take away the property of the poor man because he is poor, or be cruel to the crushed ones when they come before the judge:

They have become fat and strong: they have gone far in works of evil: they give no support to the cause of the child without a father, so that they may do well; they do not see that the poor man gets his rights.

So because the poor man is crushed under your feet, and you take taxes from him of grain: you have made for yourselves houses of cut stone, but you will not take your rest in them; the fair vine-gardens planted by your hands will not give you wine.

A curse on the designers of evil, working on their beds! in the morning light they do it, because it is in their power.

And I said, Give ear, now, you heads of Jacob and rulers of the people of Israel: is it not for you to have knowledge of what is right?

Their hands are made ready to do evil; the ruler makes requests for money, and the judge is looking for a reward; and the great man gives decisions at his pleasure, and the right is twisted.

For if a man comes into your Synagogue in fair clothing and with a gold ring, and a poor man comes in with dirty clothing,

Ye shall not

So she sent a letter in Ahab's name, stamped with his stamp, to the responsible men and the chiefs who were in authority with Naboth.

For fear of the great body of people, or for fear that families might make sport of me, so that I kept quiet, and did not go out of my door;

The fear of man is a cause of danger: but whoever puts his faith in the Lord will have a safe place on high.

So make yourself ready, and go and say to them everything I give you orders to say: do not be overcome by fear of them, or I will send fear on you before them.

And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we see that you are true, and that you are teaching the true way of God, and have no fear of anyone, because you have no respect for a man's position.

And when they had come, they said to him, Master, we are certain that you are true, and have no fear of anyone: you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God: Is it right to give taxes to Caesar or not?

But even as the good news was given to us by the approval of God, so we give it out; not as pleasing men, but God by whom our hearts are tested.

The judgment

And said to the judges, Take care what you do, for you are judging not for man but for the Lord, and he is with you in the decisions you give.

The cause

If you are not able to give a decision as to who is responsible for a death, or who is right in a cause, or who gave the first blow in a fight, and there is a division of opinion about it in your town: then go to the place marked out by the Lord your God;

Your strength and that of the people will be completely used up: this work is more than you are able to do by yourself.

Let not your decisions be based on what you see, but on righteousness.
