Bible Commentary

Proverbs 24:23

Partiality in judgment — treating people differently based on who they are rather than what they did — is a serious failure of justice. True wisdom demands fairness for all, regardless of wealth, status, or connection.

Memory phrase: Be fair to everyone.

Talk about it: What does it mean to be fair to everyone — even people who are different from you?

Prayer: God, help me be fair to all people and never show partiality.
