²⁴ Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

³ And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

⁴ But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

⁹ But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

2 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

¹⁵ Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

¹⁵ He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord.

²³ These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.

⁴ Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

58 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

² Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.

¹⁸ Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.

¹⁹ Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
