Spending time with scripture can remind us that we are all made in the likeness of God. That includes people that look, behave, and think differently than we do. This is fundamental to remembering to offer respect and love to our neighbors. It’s what God asks of us. Spend time with these respect-focused Bible verses.
Let Hallow help you pray when you’re seeking Bible Verses for respect.
No matter what you’re facing or what you’re feeling, God is not far from you. We draw especially close to God when we spend time reflecting on Scripture.

1 Timothy 5: 8
“All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.”
Acts 4: 32
“If you love me, keep my commands.”
John 14: 15
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
Psalms 147: 3
“Those who have believing masters should not show them disrespect just because they are fellow believers. Instead, they should serve them even better because their masters are dear to them as fellow believers and are devoted to the welfare of their slaves.”
1 Timothy 6: 2
If spending some time with these bible verses for respect sparked a desire inside of you to dive more deeply into God’s Word, consider exploring Hallow’s guide to Lectio Divina.
Lectio Divina is a meditative way of reading the Bible where we open our hearts and minds to try to understand how God is speaking to us personally through the Scripture we read.
It’s not Bible study or simply analyzing text. Rather, Lectio Divina recognizes that Scripture can become God’s living Word for each of us.
