who says of his father and mother, I have not seen them; nor has he acknowledged his brothers, or known his own children; for they have kept Your Word and guarded Your covenant.

Why do you kick at My sacrifice and at My offering which I have commanded for My dwelling place, and honor your sons above Me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel My people?

He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

But He answered and said to the one who told Him, Who is My mother and who are My brothers?

For whoever does the will of My Father in Heaven, that one is My brother and sister and mother.

Then His brothers and His mother came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him.

But He answered them, saying, Who is My mother, or My brothers?

For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother.

Jesus said to her, Woman, of what concern is that to Me and you? My hour has not yet come.

You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

to whom we did not yield in submission even for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all things and in all.

I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels that you keep watch over these things without prejudice, doing nothing with partiality.

Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor share in other people's sins; keep yourself pure.

My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality.

and you have regard for the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, You sit here in a good place, and say to the poor man, You stand there, or, Sit here at my footstool,

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

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh does not profit; not a thing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
