8 Bible Verses about Partiality

and says, 'Cornelius, your prayer was heard, and your alms were remembered before God. Send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; the same is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.' At once, therefore, I sent to you; and you did well, in coming. Now, therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things that have been commanded you by the Lord."

For the word of the promise is this: "At this season I will come, and Sarah shall have a son." And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, even by our father Isaac (for, the children being not yet born, nor having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of Him Who calleth), it was said to her, "The elder shall serve the younger." Even as it has been written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated." What, then, shall we say? Is there unrighteousness with God? It could not be! For He saith to Moses, "I will have mercy on whomsoever I have mercy; and I will have compassion on whomsoever I have compassion."

So, then, He hath mercy on whom He willeth, and whom He willeth He hardeneth. You will say to me, then, "Why doth He still find fault? for who has withstood His will?" Nay but, O man, who are you that reply against God ? Shall the thing formed say to Him Who formed it, "Why didst Thou make me thus?" Or has not the potter a right over the clay, out of the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? And what if God, willing to show forth His wrath and to make known His power, endured with much long-suffering vessels of wrath fitted for destruction; and that He might make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, even us, whom He also called, not from Jews only, but also from gentiles?
