Respect of persons » God does not have
And if ye call on a Father, him who judges impartially according to each man's work, live the time of your sojourn in fear.
And he who does wrong will be recompensed what he did wrong, and there is no partiality.
Now therefore let the fear of LORD be upon you. Take heed and do it. For there is no iniquity with LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.
For there is no distinction of a Jew and also of a Greek, for the same Lord is of all men, being rich toward all those who call upon him.
And he made not one distinction between both us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.

If I have despised the case of my man-servant or of my maid-servant when they contended with me, what then shall I do when God rises up? And when he visits, what shall I answer him? Did not he who made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?
who does not respect the persons of rulers, nor regards the rich more than the poor. For they all are the work of his hands.

These also are from the wise: To have respect of persons in judgment is not good.
My brothers, ye should not have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, in favoritism. For if a man with a gold ring in bright clothing comes into your synagogue, and also a poor man in dirty clothing comes in, and ye have regard for the man wearing the bright clothing, and say to him, Sit thou here well, and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit here below my footstool, read more.
then are ye not partial among yourselves, and become judges from evil thoughts? Listen, my beloved brothers, did not God choose the poor of the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to those who love him? But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich exploit you, and they themselves drag you into courts? Do they not blaspheme the good name that was called upon you? If ye indeed fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well. But if ye respect personages, ye work sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
