If Jesus wrote a book on godly relationships. . .
Well, He did, and a very clear one at that. "God, who at various times and in various ways, spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son. . . Hebrews 1:1a

Major premises: Don't judge by outward appearances, but judge righteous judgment. There is neither Jew nor Gentile (nationality), bond nor free, male nor female, (rich nor poor, powerful nor insignificant) but all are one before Jesus, well illustrated by His life. Do not base relationship on outward appearance. God does not.

The heart is all that counts with God, and He alone reads them. Insofar as we are able to see inside a person (by their fruits?), we need to let that be uppermost in relationships. Strength is obligated to help weakness. Rich is obligated to aid poor. Adults are obligated to care for children. The healthy owe an obligation to help the disabled. The young need to lend a hand to the elderly. As ointment goes to injury, so strength goes to need. Strong faith aids those beaten down by sin. The "found" sheep go searching for the shivering lost lamb.

Jesus' Way is so simple: Help whomever, wherever, whenever you can. Ability commands responsibility.

If this be true and obeyed, then arrogance, superiority and disdain for others is nowhere to be found.
