I. The Human Virtues
1807
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.”68 “Masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly,
knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.”69
