¹⁷ For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who is not partial and takes no bribe,^(A)

⁶ And from those who were supposed to be acknowledged leaders (what they actually were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)—those leaders contributed nothing to me.^(A)

⁹ And, masters,^[a] do the same to them. Stop threatening them, for you know that both of you have the same Lord^[b] in heaven, and with him there is no partiality.^(A)
