If there is not already a Bible translation in your area, we recommend that you follow the reading of ULT.

If so, you can abbreviate it.

It is based on the Greek translation of an Old Testament expression. When someone would bow with his face to the ground in front of a ruler to seek favor, the ruler would lift up that person’s face if he wanted to show favor. But the ruler would only do this for some people and not for others, so the expression describes favoritism. Your language may have an expression of its own that uses the face, eyes, head, or something similar to describe favoritism. If so, it would be appropriate to use it here. Otherwise, you can use a general expression to convey the meaning.

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly.
