3:25a

Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong: In this verse Paul was warning slaves who might be lazy or try to steal from their masters or do other wrong things. Since Paul was still speaking directly to the slaves, in some languages it may be more natural to use the second person (“you”) here. For example:

But if any of you do wrong deeds, you will be repaid for your wrong.

be repaid: This is a passive, but Paul meant that God would repay them. This means that God would punish these people because of the wrong things they had done.

3:25b

and there is no favoritism: Paul said almost the same thing in Romans 2:11. (The same Greek word for favoritism is also used in Luke 20:21 and James 2:9.) Paul meant that God does not favor one person more than another. This means that he does not distinguish unjustly between people by treating some people better than others. He will judge every person fairly/impartially.
