And now the fear of Jehovah shall be upon you: watch ye and do: for not iniquity with Jehovah our God, and lifting up of faces, and taking a gift

If I shall despise the judgment of my servant and my maid in their contending with me; And what shall I do when God shall rise up? And when he shall review, what shall I turn back to him? Did not he making me in the womb, make him? And he will prepare us in one belly.

My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, of glory, with distinction of faces.

Were ye not separated among yourselves, and become judges of evil reflections? Hear, my dearly beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the beggars of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them loving him? And ye have despised the beggar. Do not the rich bring you into subjection, and draw you before tribunals? And do they not defame the good name called upon you? If yet ye complete the royal law according to the writing, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well: And if ye make distinction of faces, ye work sin, being convicted under the law as transgressors.
