Jews can\u2019t consider themselves better than the Greeks, nor can the Greeks think of themselves any better than the Jews, because everyone has sinned and have fallen short of God\u2019s will for our lives.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, giving His riches to all who call on Him. (Romans 10:12)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by His grace as a gift. (Romans 3:22-24)<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Slaves were treated as less than human and had fewer rights than one who was free. But, like with the Jew and the Greek, there is no distinction. For both are enslaved to sin and both are equally set free in Christ.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1)<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Women were considered by the culture to be subservient to men. But, as with the Jew and the Greek and the slave and the free, both men and women are made in the image of God, and to both are given the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female he created them.
