Thematic Bible: Partiality forbidden


Thematic Bible



I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen angels, to maintain these principles without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality.


You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not fear 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.’

These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage.

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

“He will surely reprove you
If you secretly show partiality.

“So I also have made you despised and abased before all the people, just as you are not keeping My ways but are showing partiality in the instruction.

have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil motives?
