To the Jew 1st and Greek

Amos 3:1 Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying: 2  "You only have I known of all the families of the earth; Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities."

1. V11 Judgement according to Impartiality (Not favoring another, being fair when called on to give judgment has no respect of the outward circumstances of man and so does not prefer,  as the more worthy,  one who is rich, high born, popular, or powerful,  to another who does not have these qualities)

Look back at v 6 this is how they are judged

Mt 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 “teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

God does not play favorites

Acts 10:34-43 is the key
