-- Mal
3:13-20b
Justice is the moral virtue that
consists in the constant and firm will to give their due to God and
neighbor. Justice toward God is called the "virtue of religion." Justice
toward men disposes one to respect the rights of each and to establish
in human relationships the harmony that promotes equity with regard to
persons and to the common good. The just man, often mentioned in the
Sacred Scriptures, is distinguished by habitual right thinking and the
uprightness of his conduct toward his neighbor. "You shall not be
partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall
you judge your neighbor." "Masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly,
knowing that you also have a Master in heaven."
-- CCC 1807
