From the beginning of creation, the Bible is very clear in God's intentions that all people are equally deserving of His love and mercy. God created all man and woman equal and Scripture tells us that all life is valuable and worthy. Both Old Testament and New Testament Bible verses reaffirm the truth that no partiality or prejudice belongs among us. God never intended for his people to treat others differently because of their race or gender. We are commanded to love each other and to be a light in a dark world that is filled with anger and hate.
We have collected these inspirational Bible verses about equality to help lead you in a study of understanding God's Word better. Teach these Bible quotes about equality to your children and friends as you seek to display love to others through your words and actions.

Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court?
14 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

33 " 'When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. 34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
