Prejudice & Discrimination

Racial Prejudice

Num 12:1 Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman. (As a result Miriam suffered leprosy)

Prejudice based upon Social Status or Wealth


Prejudice in Legal Matters

Le 19:15 "’Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly."
Jesus was noted even by his enemies for being impartial:

Luke 20:21 So the spies questioned him: "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth."

And those who minister as Christ did must see to it that they likewise do nothing out of favoritism but remain impartial in dealing with people.


1Tim 5:21 I charge you, in the sight of God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, to keep these instructions without partiality, and to do nothing out of favoritism.​
