The Bible teaches that all people are equal in God's sight, regardless of their social status or background. In Galatians, it is written that there is no distinction between male and female, slave and free, for all are one in Christ. The book of Proverbs notes that the rich and poor meet together, with the Lord as the maker of them all. Meanwhile, passages like 1 Corinthians and Ephesians provide guidance on relationships between men and women, emphasizing mutual respect and submission, while 1 John warns against the dangers of worldly inequality and the love of material possessions.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
For man did not come from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.
Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her to sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to Himself as a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle or any such blemish, but holy and blameless. In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church. For we are members of His body. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, but I am speaking about Christ and the church. Nevertheless, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Then Peter began to speak: “I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism, but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right.
