2 cor 4: 7 But we have this treasure in a fragile vase of clay, in order
that the surpassing greatness of the power may be seen to belong to God, and not
to originate in us. . . .17 For this our light and transitory burden of
suffering is achieving for us a preponderating, yes, a vastly preponderating,
and
eternal weight of glory; 18 while we look not at things seen, but things unseen;
for things seen are temporary, but things unseen are eternal.
SKIN COLOR AND PHYSICAL RACIAL CHARACTERISTICS ARE TEMPORARY AND NOT TO BE
TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.

2 Cor 5: 14 For the love of the Christ constrains us, having judged this:
that one died for all, then all have died; 15 and he died for all, that they who
live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for them and has
been raised. 16* ¶ So that *we* HENCEFORTH KNOW NO ONE ACCORDING TO THE
[appearance of the] FLESH/BODY; but if even we have known Christ according to
flesh, yet now we know him thus no longer.
[16* ¶ Therefore for the future we know no one simply as a man. Even if we
have known Christ as a man, yet now we do so no longer.TCNT]
THE COMMAND IS THAT FROM NOW ON WE SHOULD KNOW NO ONE ACCORDING TO SKIN COLOR
AND PHYSICAL RACIAL CHARACTERISTICS

Acts 17: 24 The God who has made the world and all things which are in it,
*he*, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands,
25 nor is served by men’s hands as needing something, himself giving to all
life and breath and all things; 26 and HAS MADE OF ONE BLOOD EVERY NATION OF
PEOPLE to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, having determined ordained
times and the boundaries of their dwelling, 27 that they may seek God; if indeed
they might feel after him and find him, although he is not far from each one
of us: 28 for in him we live and move and exist; as also some of the poets
amongst you have said, For we are also his offspring.
ALL RACES AND ETHNICITIES HAVE BEEN MADE FROM ONE BLOOD AND SO ARE ALL
RELATED AND DESCENDED FROM ADAM AND EVE AND NOAH AND HIS FAMILY.

Col 3:11 In that new creation there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision
nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free man, but Christ is
everything and is in all of us.WEY
IN THE NEW CREATION OF CHRIST THERE IS NO ETHNICITY OR RACIAL DISTINCTIONS.
1 Tim 5:20 Those that sin convict before all, that the rest also may have
fear. 21 I testify before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, that thou
keep these things without prejudice, doing nothing by favour. 22 Lay hands
quickly on no man, nor partake in others’ sins. Keep thyself pure.DBY
1Ti 5:21 I solemnly call upon you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus
and of the elect angels, to carry out these instructions of mine without
prejudice, and to do nothing from partiality.WEY

Le 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect
the person of the lowly, nor honour the person of the great; in righteousness
shalt thou judge thy neighbour.DBY
Le 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect
the person of the lowly, nor honour the person of the great; in righteousness
shalt thou judge thy neighbour.DBY
De 1:17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment: ye shall hear the small as
well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment
is God’s; and the matter that is too hard for you shall ye bring to me, that
I may hear it.DBY
De 16:19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons,
neither take a bribe; for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and
perverteth
the words of the righteous.
2Ch 19:7 And now, let the terror of Jehovah be upon you; be careful what ye
do, for there is no iniquity with Jehovah, nor respect of persons, nor taking
of presents.
Pr 24:23 These things also come from the wise. It is not good to have respect
of persons in judgment.
Pr 28:21 To have respect of persons is not good; but for a piece of bread
will a man transgress.

Pr 18:5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to wrong the
righteous in judgment.
Lu 20:21 And they asked him saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and
teachest rightly, and acceptest no man’s person, but teachest with truth the
way
of God:DBY
Lu 20:21 So they put a question to Him. “Rabbi,” they said, “we know that
you say and teach what is right and that you make no distinctions between one
man and another, but teach God’s way truly.WEY

Mal 2:9 And I also have made you contemptible and base before all the people,
because ye have not kept my ways, but have respect of persons in administering
the law.

Jas 2:1 My brethren, do not have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, Lord of
glory, with respect of persons: 2 for if there come unto your synagogue a man
with a gold ring in splendid apparel, and a poor man also come in in vile
apparel, 3 and ye look upon him who wears the splendid apparel, and say, Do thou
sit here well, and say to the poor, Do thou stand there, or sit here under my
footstool: 4 have ye not made a difference among yourselves, and become judges
having evil thoughts?DBY
Jas 2:1 My brethren, you must not make distinctions between one man and
another while you are striving to maintain faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who
is
our glory. . . . 9 But if you are making distinctions between one man and
another, you are guilty of sin, and are convicted by the Law as offenders.WEY

Jas 3:17 The wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceful,
courteous, not self-willed, full of compassion and kind actions, free from
favouritism
and from all insincerity.WEY

Mt 22:16 So they sent to Him their disciples together with the Herodians; who
said, “Teacher, we know that you are truthful and that you faithfully teach
God’s truth; and that no fear of man misleads you, for you are not biased by
men’s wealth or rank.WEY
Mr 3:35 “Here are my mother and my brothers. For wherever there is one who
has been obedient to God, there is my brother--my sister--and my mother.”WEY
Jude 1:16 These men are murmurers, ever bemoaning their lot. Their lives are
guided by their evil passions, and their mouths are full of big, boastful
words, while they treat individual men with admiring reverence for the sake of
the
advantage they can gain.WEY

Act 10:9 - 15 Again a second time a voice was heard which said, “What God has
purified, you must not regard as unholy.” . . . 19 ¶ And Peter was still
earnestly thinking over the vision, when the Spirit said to him, “Three men
are
now inquiring for you. 20 Rise, go down, and go with them without any
misgivings; for it is I who have sent them to you.” . . . . 28 He said to
them, “You
know better than most that a Jew is strictly forbidden to associate with a
Gentile or visit him; but God has taught me to call no one unholy or unclean. .
. .
. 34 ¶ Then Peter began to speak. “I clearly see,” he said, “THAT GOD
MAKES
NO DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ANOTHER; 35 BUT THAT IN EVERY NATION THOSE
WHO FEAR HIM AND LIVE GOOD LIVES ARE ACCEPTABLE TO HIM. . . . . . 44 ¶ While
Peter was speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening
to the Message. 45 And all the Jewish believers who had come with Peter were
astonished that on the Gentiles also the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured
out. 46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling the majesty of
God.
