Bible verses about "black and white marriage" | ABU

¹ AND on the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there. ² And Jesus also was bidden, and his disciples, to the marriage. ³ And wine having failed, the mother of Jesus says to him: They have no wine. ⁴ Jesus says to her: Woman, what have I to do with thee? My hour is not yet come. ⁵ His mother says to the servants: Whatever he says to you, do it. ⁶ Now there were set there six water-pots of stone, after the Jewish custom of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece. ⁷ Jesus says to them: Fill the water-pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. ⁸ And he says to them: Draw out now, and bear to the ruler of the feast. And they bore it. ⁹ When the ruler of the feast tasted the water that was made wine (and he knew not whence it was, but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom, ¹⁰ and says to him: Every man sets forth the good wine first; and when they have drunk freely, then that which is worse. Thou hast kept the good wine until now. ¹¹ This beginning of the signs Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him. ¹² After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples; and they abode there not many days. ¹³ And the passover of the Jews was at hand; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And he found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting. ¹⁵ And having made a scourge of small cords, he drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; ¹⁶ and to those who sold doves he said: Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise. ¹⁷ And his disciples remembered that it is written: for thy house consumes me. ¹⁸ The Jews therefore answered and said to him: What sign dost thou show to us, seeing that thou doest these things? ¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. ²⁰ Therefore said the Jews: Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? ²¹ But he said it of the temple of his body. ²² When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this; and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus spoke. ²³ And when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, on the feast-day, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he wrought. ²⁴ But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men, ²⁵ and had no need that any one should testify of man; for he himself knew what was in man.

¹⁴ Be not yoked unequally with unbelievers; for what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?

¹ MY brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons. ² For if there have come into your assembly a man with a gold ring, in gay clothing, and there have come in also a poor man in mean clothing; ³ and ye have respect to him that wears the gay clothing, and say: Sit thou here in a good place, and say to the poor man: Stand thou there, or, Sit under my footstool; ⁴ were ye not partial in yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? ⁵ Hearken, my beloved brethren. Did not God choose the poor as to this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love him? ⁶ But ye dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and do not they drag you before the judgment-seats? ⁷ Do not they blaspheme the worthy name by which ye are called? ⁸ If indeed ye fulfill the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well. ⁹ But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. ¹⁰ For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

²⁶ And he made of one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having fixed the appointed seasons and bounds of their habitation;

²⁸ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
