In the New Testament, it is used to emphasize the impartial nature of God's judgment and the call for believers to emulate this divine attribute by treating all people with fairness and equality. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, social hierarchies and favoritism were common, with individuals often receiving preferential treatment based on wealth, status, or connections. This cultural context highlights the radical nature of the Christian teaching against partiality, which called for a community where all members were valued equally, reflecting the impartiality of God.
