6 Bible Verses about Age Discrimination

Rebuke not an aged man, but entreat him as a father, the younger men as brothers, the aged women as mothers, the younger as sisters, with all purity. Support the widows who are widows indeed.

Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the faithful, in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons,

My brothers, have not the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with a respect of persons. For if there comes into your assembly a man with a gold ring, in splendid clothing, and there also comes in a poor man in vile clothing, and you look upon him who wears the splendid clothing, and say to him, Sit here in a good place, and say to the poor man, Stand there, or sit under my footstool,read more.
are you not condemned in yourselves and judges of evil thoughts? Hear, my beloved brothers. Has not God chosen the poor of the world rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love him? But you dishonor the poor. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you to tribunals? And do they not blaspheme the good name by which you are called? If you keep indeed the royal law according to the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well; but if you respect persons, you commit sin, convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever shall keep the whole law, and offend in one point, is guilty of all. For he that said, You shall not commit adultery, said also, You shall not kill; and if you do not commit adultery, but kill, you are a transgressor of the law. So speak and so do, as being about to be judged by the law of liberty. For he shall have judgment without mercy who shows not mercy; mercy rejoices over judgment.

Pure religion and undefiled with the God and Father is this, to visit the orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.
