The Bible makes clear that in God’s eyes, we are all valued equally. Leviticus 19:15 dictates, “You must not pervert justice; you must not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the rich; you are to judge your neighbor fairly.” That theme is made more explicit in Christian theology: Galatians 3:28 dictates, “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Human equality is the presupposition of Judeo-Christian thinking.
