Beware of Personal Favoritism

2 My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^(A)the Lord of glory, with ^(B)partiality.

^5 (A)For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ^(B)ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake.

¹⁶ And ^(A)He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

^(B)KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS.

^47 (A)The first man was of the earth, ^(B)made^[a] of dust; the second Man is ^[b]the Lord ^(C)from heaven.

⁸ which none of the rulers of this age knew; for ^(A)had they known, they would not have ^(B)crucified the Lord of glory.

³⁶ The word which God sent to the ^[a]children of Israel, ^(A)preaching peace through Jesus Christ—^(B)He is Lord of all—

^11 (A)For there is born to you this day in the city of David ^(B)a Savior, ^(C)who is Christ the Lord.
