solemnly bearing witness to both Jews and to Greeks, the repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

Now after some days, when Felix arrived with Drusilla his wife, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.

when we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love which is towards all the saints;

having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck,

Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to [the] faith of the elect of God and [the] full knowledge of [the] truth which is according to godliness,

Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us by [the] righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

Here is the endurance of the saints; those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

Lift up your gates, you princes; and be lifted up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

which none of the rulers of this age knew (for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory).

looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

who being the effulgence of His glory and the exact expression of His substance, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

and you have respect for him that wears the fine clothes and you say to him, "You sit here in a good seat," and say to the poor man, "You stand there," or, "Sit here under my footstool,"

but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

You shall not act unjustly in judgment: you shall not accept the person of the poor, nor admire the person of the mighty; with justice shall you judge your neighbor.

You shall not have respect to persons in judgment, you shall judge small and great equally; you shall not shrink from before the person of a man, for the judgment is God's; and whatsoever matter shall be too hard for you, you shall bring it to me, and I will hear it.

they shall not pervert judgment, nor favor persons, nor receive a gift; for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

And now let the fear of the Lord be upon you, and be wary, and do [your duty]; for there is no unrighteousness with the Lord our God, neither [is it for Him] to respect persons, or to take bribes.

And this thing I say to you that are wise, for you to learn: It is not good to show partiality in judgment.

He that respects not the persons of the righteous is not good: such a one will sell a man for a morsel of bread.

And they sent their disciples to Him with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You show favoritism to anyone.

For I long to see you, so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that you may be established--

I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing according to partiality.

These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaks puffed up words, flattering people to gain advantage.
