Footnotes
ἀδιάκριτος ("impartial/unwavering"): A rare word carrying two valid senses — "without making distinctions" (impartial, showing no favouritism) or "undivided/consistent" (unwavering in itself). F.O.G renders "impartial" to highlight the relational dimension of heavenly wisdom toward others; F.O.G Message renders "unwavering" to emphasise its internal consistency and integrity. ἀνυπόκριτος ("without pretence/genuine"): Literally "without playing a role" — ὑποκριτής was the Greek word for a stage actor who wore a mask. Heavenly wisdom wears no mask and has nothing to perform.
