Colossians 3:11

3:11 Here there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave ¹  or free, but Christ is all and in all.

Colossians 3:25

3:25 For the one who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, ²  and there are no exceptions. ³ 

¹ tn See the note on “fellow slave” in 1:7.

² tn Grk “that which he did wrong.”

³ tn The Greek word used here is προσωπολημψία (proswpolhmyia) and is usually translated “partiality.” It is used to describe unjust or unrighteous favoritism (Rom 2:11, Eph 6:9, Jas 2:1). When it comes to disciplining his children for their sins, God will treat all equally with no partiality.
