Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

The gold bar shows how strongly the cross-reference sources tie the two verses together: a long bar means many compiled references make the connection, a short one means few.

James 2:1My brothers, as you hold out your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, do not show favoritism.Acts 10:34Then Peter began to speak: “I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism,John 7:24Stop judging by outward appearances, and start judging justly.”Leviticus 19:15You must not pervert justice; you must not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the rich; you are to judge your neighbor fairly.Deuteronomy 1:17Show no partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be intimidated by anyone, for judgment belongs to God. And bring to me any case too difficult for you, and I will hear it.”Psalms 51:4Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge.James 2:1–4My brothers, as you hold out your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, do not show favoritism.Job 13:10Surely He would rebuke you if you secretly showed partiality.John 8:9When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there.Romans 3:20Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law.
