What Does the Bible Say About Equality?
Key Scriptures and spiritual guidance on equality
Biblia hovorí o rovnosti v mnohých miestach. Jej posolstvo je jasné - Boh stvoril každého človeka na svoj obraz a každý človek má rovnakú hodnotu a dôstojnosť v Jeho očiach. Je dôležité milovať a prijímať druhých bez ohľadu na ich pohlavie, rasu, sociálny status alebo postavenie. Biblia učí, že Boh nepreferuje jedného človeka pred druhým, a preto by sme mali aj my žiť v súlade s týmto princípom rovnosti a spravodlivosti.
Bible Verses About Equality

James 2:1-4
“My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, “You sit here in a good place,” while you say to the poor man, “You stand over there,” or, “Sit down at my feet,” have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?”
Colossians 3:11
“Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.”
