Fairness

“For God does not show favoritism.” (Rom. 2:11)

“There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Gal. 3:28)

God’s righteous dealings with humanity are characterized by fairness and justice, and we are to do the same.

Do not show favoritism

“My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in. If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,” have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?” (James 2:1-4)

Judge fairly

“Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.” (Lev. 19:15)

Therefore

“Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.” (1 Pet. 3.8)

“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” (Matt. 7:12)

“Blessed are those who act justly, who always do what is right.” (Psalm 106:3)
