This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Respect of persons (prosōpolēmpsia). Milligan (Vocabulary) considers this word (in N.T. only here, Col 3:25; Eph 6:9) and prosōpolēmptēs (Act 10:34) and prosōpolēmpteō (Jam 2:9) the earliest definitely known Christian words, not in lxx or non-Christian writings. See note on Act 10:34 for the formation in imitation of the Hebrew to take note of the face (prosōpon, lambanō), to judge by the face or appearance.
