10 There are ever so many kinds of language in the world, everyone of them meaning something.
Bible verses about "diversity" | Moffatt
1 Corinthians 14:10
Romans 12:16
16 Keep in harmony with one another; instead of being ambitious, associate with humble folk; never be self-conceited.
1 Corinthians 12:12
12 As the human body is one and has many members, all the members of the body forming one body for all their number, so is it with Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:15-19
15 If the foot were to say, 'Because I am not the hand, I do not belong to the body,' that does not make it no part of the body.
16 If the ear were to say, 'Because I am not the eye, I do not belong to the body,' that does not make it no part of the body.
17 If the body were all eye, where would hearing be? If the body were all ear, where would smell be?
18 As it is, God has set the members in the body, each as it pleased him.
19 If they all made up one member, what would become of the body?
Romans 14:1-23
1 Welcome a man of weak faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his scruples.
2 While one man has enough confidence to eat any food, the man of weak faith only eats vegetables.
3 The eater must not look down upon the non-eater, and the non-eater must not criticize the eater, for God has welcomed him.
4 Who are you to criticize the servant of Another? It is for his Master to say whether he stands or falls; and stand he will, for the Master has power to make him stand.
5 Then again, this man rates one day above another, while that man rates all days alike. Well, everyone must be convinced in his own mind;
6 the man who values a particular day does so to the Lord. The eater eats to the Lord, since he thanks God for his food; the non-eater abstains to the Lord, and he too thanks God.
7 For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself;
8 if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. Thus we are the Lord's whether we live or die;
9 it was for this that Christ died and rose and came to life, to be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
10 So why do you criticize your brother? And you, why do you look down upon your brother? All of us have to stand before the tribunal of God —
11 for it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bend before me, every tongue shall offer praise to God.
12 Each of us then will have to answer for himself to God.
13 So let us stop criticizing one another; rather make up your mind never to put any stumbling-block or hindrance in your brother's way.
14 I know, I am certain in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is in itself unclean; only, anything is unclean for a man who considers it unclean.
15 If your brother is being injured because you eat a certain food, then you are no longer living by the rule of love. Do not let that food of yours ruin the man for whom Christ died.
16 Your rights must not get a bad name.
17 The Reign of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, it means righteousness, peace, and joy in the holy Spirit;
18 he who serves Christ on these lines, is acceptable to God and esteemed by men.
19 Peace, then, and the building up of each other, these are what we must aim at.
20 You must not break down God's work for the mere sake of food! Everything may be clean, but it is wrong for a man to prove a stumbling-block by what he eats;
21 the right course is to abstain from flesh or wine or indeed anything that your brother feels to be a stumbling-block.
22 Certainly keep your own conviction on the matter, as between yourself and God; he is a fortunate man who has no misgivings about what he allows himself to eat.
23 But if anyone has doubts about eating and then eats, that condemns him at once; it was not faith that induced him to eat, and any action that is not based on faith is a sin.
James 2:1-26
1 My brothers, as you believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Glory, pay no servile regard to people.
2 Suppose there comes into your meeting a man who wears gold rings and handsome clothes, and also a poor man in dirty clothes;
3 if you attend to the wearer of the handsome clothes and say to him, "Sit here, this is a good place," and tell the poor man, "You can stand," or "Sit there at my feet,"
4 are you not drawing distinctions in your own minds and proving that you judge people with partiality?
5 Listen, my beloved brothers; has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the realm which he has promised to those who love him?
6 Now you insult the poor. Is it not the rich who lord it over you and drag you to court?
7 Is it not they who scoff at the noble Name you bear?
8 If you really fulfil the royal law laid down by scripture, You must love your neighbour as yourself, well and good;
9 but if you pay servile regard to people, you commit a sin, and the Law convicts you of transgression.
10 For whoever obeys the whole of the Law and only makes a single slip, is guilty of everything.
11 He who said, Do not commit adultery, also said, Do not kill. Now if you do not commit adultery but if you kill, you have transgressed the Law.
12 Speak, act, as those who are to be judged by the law of freedom;
13 for the judgment will be merciless to the man who has shown no mercy — whereas the merciful life will triumph in the face of judgment.
14 My brothers, what is the use of anyone declaring he has faith, if he has no deeds to show? Can his faith save him?
15 Suppose some brother or sister is ill-clad and short of daily food;
16 if any of you says to them, "Depart in peace! Get warm, get food," without supplying their bodily needs, what use is that?
17 So faith, unless it has deeds, is dead in itself.
18 Someone will object, 'And you claim to have faith!' Yes, and I claim to have deeds as well; you show me your faith without any deeds, and I will show you by my deeds what faith is!
19 You believe in one God? Well and good. So do the devils, and they shudder.
20 But will you understand, you senseless fellow, that faith without deeds is dead?
21 When our father Abraham offered his son Isaac on the altar, was he not justified by what he did?
22 In his case, you see, faith co-operated with deeds, faith was completed by deeds,
23 and the scripture was fulfilled: Abraham believed God, and this was counted to him as righteousness — he was called God's friend.
24 You observe it is by what he does that a man is justified, not simply by what he believes.
25 So too with Rahab the harlot. Was she not justified by what she did, when she entertained the scouts and got them away by a different road?
26 For as the body without the breath of life is dead, so faith is dead without deeds.
Colossians 1:16-17
Revelation 7:9
9 After that I looked, and there was a great host whom no one could count, from every nation and tribe and people and tongue, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clad in white robes, with palm-branches in their hands;
