James 1:26-27 and 2:1-13 James 2:1 James 2:1-13 - The Sin of Partiality No Partiality in the body of Christ v1 James 1:26-27 Romans 1:16 Romans 3:29-30 Romans 2:1 Romans 2:11 Acts 10:34-35 Leviticus 19:15 Job 34:19 Proverbs 24:23 Proverbs 28:21 Matthew 22:15 - NASB The Example? v2-4 The Exhortation v5-11 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 26 For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. Action v12-13 1 John 4:10-12 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. 1 John 4:20-21 20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.
