Now therefore let the fear of Yahweh be on you. Take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with Yahweh our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.”

Allusion3
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
2:11 also reflects Jehoshaphat's charge, 'with the LORD our God there is no injustice or partiality (prosopolempsia) or taking of bribes' — a near-technical Greek precedent for Paul's coined prosopolempsia.
High confidenceJehoshaphat's charge that 'with the LORD our God there is no iniquity, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts' is a second locus of the 'no partiality' formula informing v34. Recurrence strengthens the allusion.
Medium confidenceJehoshaphat's charge that with the LORD there is no injustice, partiality, or bribe-taking reinforces "there is no partiality." Medium/supporting; Deut 10:17 is the controlling text, with 2 Chr 19:7 a recurrence applying impartiality to just judgment, exactly the context here.
Medium confidenceEcho2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Jehoshaphat's charge to judges grounds impartial justice in the fact that 'with the LORD our God there is no... partiality' (ouk estin... lempsis prosopou). The same theologoumenon underlies 6:9; recurrence of the formula across the OT strengthens coherence, though Deuteronomy is the primary verbal source.
Medium confidenceThe demand to judge without partiality may echo Jehoshaphat's charge that with the Lord there is 'no injustice or partiality or taking of bribes.' Impartial oversight images the character of the God in whose sight Paul places the command.
