It is our duty to live a godly life where we must respect and honour everyone. The Lord wants us to love all as he loves us and we need to bring people near to God by loving them, taking their burdens and reaching them with our help hands.

If we start to think we are something then we actually deceive ourselves by our pride. We all are equal in the eyes of God and the things God has given us must be used for his glory nor for our glory.

In Jesus, we get the new man who was created according to the image of God and we must live by the righteousness of God which will lead us to treat others with dignity and respect.
