¹⁷ When you judge, ·be fair to everyone [do not show favoritism]; don’t act as if one person is more important than another, and don’t be ·afraid of [intimidated by] anyone, because your decision comes from God. Bring the hard cases to me, and I will judge them.” ¹⁸ At that time I told you everything you must do [Ex. 18:13–23].
