Bible verses about "black and white marriage" | Living_Oracles

¹ Three days after, there was a marriage in Cana, of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. ² Jesus, also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage. ³ The wine falling short, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine. ⁴ Jesus answered, Woman, what have you to do with me? My time is not yet come. ⁵ His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he shall bid you. ⁶ Now there were six water pots of stone, containing two or three baths each, placed there for the Jewish rites of cleansing. ⁷ Jesus said to them, Fill the pots with water. And they filled them to the brim. ⁸ Then he said, Draw, now, and carry to the director of the feast. And they did so. ⁹ When the director of the feast had tasted the wine made of water, not knowing whence it was, (but the servants who drew the water knew,) ¹⁰ he said, addressing the bridegroom, Every person presents the best wine first, and worse wine afterward, when the guests have drunk largely; but you have reserved the best till now. ¹¹ This first miracle Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, displaying his glory: and his disciples believed on him. ¹² Afterward, he went to Capernaum, he and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples; but they staid not there many days. ¹³ And the Jewish passover being nigh, Jesus went to Jerusalem; ¹⁴ and finding changers sitting in the temple, and people who sold cattle and sheep, and doves; ¹⁵ he made a whip of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and cattle, scattering the coin of the changers, and oversetting their tables. ¹⁶ and he said to them, who sold doves, Take these things hence. Make not my Father's house a house of traffic. ¹⁷ (Then his disciples remembered these words of the scripture, "My zeal for thy house consumes me.") ¹⁸ Therefore, the Jews answered, and said to him, By what miracle do you show us your title to do these things? ¹⁹ Jesus answering, said to them, Destroy this temple, and I will rear it again in three days. ²⁰ The Jews replied, Forty and six years was this temple in building; and you would rear it in three days? ²¹ (But, by the temple, he meant his body.) ²² When, therefore, he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they understood the scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken. ²³ While he was at Jerusalem, during the feast of the passover, many believed on him, when they saw the miracles which he performed. ²⁴ But Jesus did not trust himself with them, because he knew them all. ²⁵ He needed not to receive from others a character of any man, for he knew what was in man.

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

¹ My brethren, do not hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partial regard for persons. ² For if there enter into your synagogue a man having gold rings on his fingers, and with splendid clothing, and there enter likewise a poor man, with sordid apparel; ³ and you look on him who has the splendid clothing, and say, Sit you here honorably; and to the poor man, Stand you there; or, Sit here at my footstool: ⁴ are you not, then, partial among yourselves, and have become judges who reason wickedly? ⁵ Hearken, beloved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor of the world-rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them who love him? ⁶ Do not the rich exceedingly oppress you, and themselves drag you to the judgment seats? ⁷ Do not they defame that excellent name which is named on you? ⁸ If, now, indeed, you fulfill a royal law, according to the scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well. ⁹ But if you have respect of persons, you commit sin, being convicted by the law of transgressors. ¹⁰ For whoever will keep the whole law, yet fails in one point, has become guilty of all.

²⁶ And he has made of one blood, the whole race of men, to inhabit all the face of the earth; having marked out the times previously arranged in order, and the boundaries of their habitations:

²⁸ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bondman nor freeman, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
