For God does not show favoritism. The declaration of God's impartiality (ou lambanei prosōpon) stands as the theological foundation for all that follows. Prosōpon suggests the face or outward appearance; God's judgment is not swayed by ethnicity, status, or external markers of privilege. This eliminates any grounds for Jewish presumption based on being Abraham's descendants or circumcised.
