The idea of dealing evenly with others is deeply rooted in the biblical call to righteousness and equity.<br><br><b>Justice and Fairness</b><br><br>The Bible frequently emphasizes the importance of justice and fairness, which are closely related to the idea of dealing evenly. In <a href="/leviticus/19-15.htm">Leviticus 19:15</a> , it is written, "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." This verse underscores the necessity of impartiality and fairness in judgment, reflecting the principle of even-handedness.<br><br>Similarly, <a href="/proverbs/11.htm">Proverbs 11:1</a> states, "Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD, but an accurate weight is His delight." This proverb highlights the importance of honesty and fairness in business dealings, suggesting that God values equitable treatment and integrity.<br><br><b>Equality and Impartiality</b><br><br>The New Testament also speaks to the concept of equality and impartiality, which aligns with the idea of treating others evenly. In <a href="/acts/10-34.htm">Acts 10:34-35</a> , Peter declares, "I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism, but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right." This passage reveals that God's love and acceptance are offered evenly to all who seek Him, regardless of their background.<br><br><a href="/james/2.htm">James 2:1-4</a> warns against favoritism, stating, "My brothers, as you hold out your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, do not show favoritism. Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. If you lavish attention on the man in fine clothes and say, 'Here is a seat of honor,' but say to the poor man, 'You must stand,' or, 'Sit at my feet,' have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?" This passage calls believers to treat all individuals with equal respect and dignity.<br><br><b>Balance in Life</b><br><br>The Bible also encourages balance in various aspects of life, which can be seen as a form of living evenly. <a href="/ecclesiastes/3.htm">Ecclesiastes 3:1</a> states, "To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven." This verse suggests that life should be lived with a sense of balance and timing, recognizing the appropriate moments for different activities and emotions.<br><br>In the realm of personal conduct, <a href="/philippians/4-5.htm">Philippians 4:5</a> advises, "Let your gentleness be apparent to all. The Lord is near." This call to gentleness can be understood as an encouragement to maintain an even temperament, reflecting Christ's character in all interactions.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>While the term "evenly" may not appear explicitly in Scripture, the principles of fairness, justice, equality, and balance are integral to biblical teaching. These concepts guide believers in their relationships with others and in their personal conduct, reflecting the character of God who is just and impartial.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>adv.</I>) With an even, level, or smooth surface; without roughness, elevations, or depression; uniformly; equally; comfortably; impartially; serenely.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/3474.htm"><span class="l">3474. yashar -- to be smooth, straight, or right</span></a><br><b>...</b> root Definition to be smooth, straight, or right NASB Word Usage agreeable (2),<br> directed (1), esteem right (1), <b>evenly</b> applied (1), fixed straight (1), good (2 <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/3474.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/7947.htm"><span class="l">7947. shalab -- to be bound or joined</span></a><br><b>...</b> equally distant, set in order.
