Persons
Person
The word "Person" is more important today not merely for its many definitions but more because of how much it is misunderstood within modern usage.
A person may merely refer to a "living human".
As a composite the term person may be used in reference to a "composite of characteristics" of their personality either socially or legally.
In a role a person may be a "character" as in a play or other legal and social settings.
In Sociology a person may refer to an individuals "social relationships and behavior" with a culture.
In Grammar it in combination with a numerical identifier it may designate one of three verb inflections that distinguish the speaker (first person), the addressed (second person), or "spoken of" (third person).
In Law a person may, or its legal name may, refer to a "human or organization" with legal rights and legal duties.
Person and the law
The words “person” and “individual” are not synonymous. “Person” being defined as, “a man considered according to the rank he holds in society, with all the right to which the place he holds entitles him, and the duties which it imposes.”[1] Other nations agree with this definition like Canada.[2]
The word “individual” in the book “Language,” found in the Volume Library, is treated as a word “frequently misused” and clarifies its meaning with the statement, “The word (individual) should not be used in the mere sense of person. The word is correctly used in ‘Changes both in individuals and communities.’”
An individual person is the counting of one "person" and is not the same as an individual.
“Every person is a man, but not every man a person,”[3]
“Man is a term of nature; person, of the civil law”[4]
“This word ‘person’ and its scope and bearing in the law, involving, as it does, legal fictions and also apparently natural beings, it is difficult to understand; but it is absolutely necessary to grasp, at whatever cost, a true and proper understanding of the word in all the phases of its proper use… The words persona and personae did not have the meaning in the Roman which attaches to homo, the individual, or a man in the English; it had peculiar references to artificial beings, and the condition or status of individuals… A person is here not a physical or individual person, but the status or condition with which he is invested… not an individual or physical person, but the status, condition or character borne by physical persons… The law of persons is the law of status or condition.”
“A moment’s reflection enables one to see that man and person cannot be synonymous, for there cannot be an artificial man, though there are artificial persons. Thus the conclusion is easily reached that the law itself often creates an entity or a being which is called a person; the law cannot create an artificial man, but it can and frequently does invest him with artificial attributes; this is his personality… that is to say, the man-person; and abstract persons, which are fiction and which have no existence except in law; that is to say, those which are purely legal conceptions or creations.” [5]
Persons in combination
The word “person” is sometimes used in combination with other terms because it has so many alternate meanings and because it is not only gender neutral it can be an aspect of so many different things.
You can have a chairperson or a spokesperson or a personality or a persona like an actor playing a part.
In person may simply suggest the physical presence of an individual.
Legal person
In law there are "legal person"s which can represent a status of an individual human, a "legal entity" such as a corporation, or even an office.[6]
A legal person can do the things a human person is usually able to do in law – such as enter into contracts, sue and be sued, own property, and so on. The reason for the term "legal person" is that some legal persons are not people: companies and corporations are "persons" legally speaking (they can legally do most of the things an ordinary person can do), but they are not people in a literal sense (human beings).
There are therefore two kinds of legal entities: human and non-human. In law, a human person is called a natural person, and a non-human person is called a juridic, juristic, artificial person (persona ficta). This could include corporations, firms, and many government agencies or even governments themselves. They are treated in law as if they were persons.
Legal personality
While, natural persons(universitas personarum) may acquire legal personality "naturally", simply by being born such juridical persons must have legal personality conferred on them by some "unnatural", legal process, and it is for this reason that they are sometimes called "artificial" persons.
Legal personality is usually acquired by registration.[7]
As legal personality is a prerequisite to legal capacity and has a legal name with certain rights, protections, privileges, responsibilities, and liabilities in law.
Respecter of persons
A 'respecter of persons' is one whose behavior toward people is influenced by their social status, prestige, positions of authority, etc.
Social status can very from culture by culture, and within legal systems. There are numerous places where this idea is mentioned in both Old and New testaments often with the same caveats and warnings.

New Respecters
As a new Church rose up in the fourth century under the tutelary tutelage of the Church of Constantine the intellectual expression of what some thought to be Truth became the center of faith where the acceptance of catechistic creeds sanctioned by men who exercise authority ushered people into the realm of ideology, if not idolatry.
This debate over the nature of the Trinity was more about denominationalism, the doctrinalism of ideologues, and power to appoint bishops and ministers[11] on over the other over what should be a free assembly. than the Doctrine of Jesus. The loyalty to groups, leaders, councils, and creeds would soon begin to interfere with obedience to the decrees of Christ and in their unforgiveness the Holy Spirit would be stifled until they became Stiffnecked.
In the time of the New Testament forms of the word prosōpolēmpsia also directs our attention to the precept of respecter of persons and that is not granting offices to men where they can do wrong with immunity. God is not partial to one man over another by a position they hold.

Things that often impress men and the way they hold certain men in admiration because their appearance or an office they believe they hold do not alter the justice or mercy of God.
Jude 1:16 "These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words], having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage."
We are told that we are told in Jude 1:21 "Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh."
