^17 (A)You are not to ^[a]show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike. You are ^(B)not to be afraid of any person, for the judgment is God’s. ^(C)The case that is too difficult for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.’

¹¹ For ^(A)there is no partiality with God.

⁶ But from those who ^[a]were of considerable ^(A)repute (what they were makes no difference to me; ^(B)God shows no favoritism)—well, those who were of repute contributed nothing to me.

⁹ And masters, do the same things to them, and ^(A)give up threatening, knowing that ^(B)both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is ^(C)no partiality with Him.
