Thematic Bible: Despise not
Thematic Bible
God, Goodness of » Despise not
Or do you despise the wealth of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?
The poor » Despise not
For if someone enters into your assembly in fine clothing with a gold ring on his finger, and a poor person in filthy clothing also enters, and you look favorably on the one wearing the fine clothing and you say, "Be seated here in a good place," and to the poor person you say, "You stand or be seated there by my footstool," have you not made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
He who despises his neighbor is a sinner, but he who has mercy on the poor blesses him.
