Leviticus 19:15. You shall do no injustice in judgment.
You shall not be partial to the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty.
In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor.
Deuteronomy 6:25. Then it will be our righteousness, if we are careful to observe
all these commandments before the Lord our God, as He has commanded us.
Why were commandments needed for righteousness?
Deuteronomy 9:
4 Do not think in your heart, after the Lord your God has cast them out before you,
saying, Because of my righteousness the Lord has brought me in to possess this land;
but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is driving them out
from before you.
5 It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that
you go in to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations
that the Lord your God drives them out from before you, and that He may fulfill the word which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
6 Therefore understand that the Lord your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.
1 Timothy 1:
8 But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully,
9 knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless
and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane.
Was James being trivial in mentioning partiality?
James 2:
8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture,
You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well;
9 but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted
by the law as transgressors.
This is unrighteous behavior at its most fundamental.
Leviticus 19:
15 You shall do no injustice in judgment.
You shall not be partial to the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty.
In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor.
16 You shall not go about as a talebearer among your people; nor shall
you take a stand against the life of your neighbor: I am the Lord.
17 You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor,
and not bear sin because of him.
18 You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people,
but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
You shall not be partial to the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty.
In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor.
