What does the Bible say about showing partiality?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible forbids showing respect of persons, emphasizing that we are all one in Christ regardless of social status or wealth.

James 2:1-13 teaches that Christians must not show partiality toward one another based on wealth or outward appearance. The royal law, according to James, is to love one another without favoritism. This highlights a fundamental flaw in understanding grace; if God shows no respect of persons, we should not either. By favoring the wealthy or influential, we risk offending God's children and undermining the gospel of grace, which tells us that all believers, regardless of their material status, are equally loved and valued by God.
