Justiça
A justiça é atributo de Deus e vocação do cristão. A Bíblia chama os crentes a buscar a justiça, praticar o que é reto e confiar no Deus que julga justamente.
Buscar a justiça
Buscai primeiro o Reino de Deus e a sua justiça. Quem semeia justiça colherá galardão seguro e duradouro.
Therefore seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his rightwiseness, and all these things shall be cast to you.
A wicked man maketh unstable work; but faithful meed is to him, that soweth rightfulness [or rightwiseness].
He that pursueth rightfulness [or followeth rightwiseness] and mercy, shall find life [and rightwiseness] and glory.
To do mercy and doom, pleaseth more the Lord, than sacrifices.
Each way of a man seemeth rightful [or right] to himself; but the Lord weigheth the hearts.
Treasures of wickedness shall not profit; but rightfulness [or rightwiseness] shall deliver from death.
Justiça em Cristo
Deus tornou Cristo a nossa justiça. Pela fé somos declarados justos diante de Deus — não por obras, mas pela graça.
God the Father made him sin for us, which knew not sin, that we should be made [the] rightwiseness of God in him.
For the grace of God, our Saviour, hath appeared to all men,
and taught us, that we forsake wickedness [or unpiety], and worldly desires, and live soberly, and justly, and piously in this world,
But, thou, man of God, flee these things; but follow thou rightwiseness, piety, faith, charity, patience, mildness.
From henceforth, brethren, what-ever things be sooth, whatever things chaste, whatever things just, whatever things holy, whatever things able to be loved, [or amiable, or lovable], whatever things of good fame, if any virtue, if any praising of discipline, think ye these things,
Do not ye err, God is not scorned; for those things that a man soweth, those things he shall reap.
And doing good fail we not; for in his time we shall reap, not failing.
Praticar a justiça
O fruto da justiça semeia-se em paz para os que promovem a paz. Os olhos do Senhor estão sobre os justos.
And the fruit of rightwiseness is sown in peace, to men that make peace.
Therefore acknowledge ye each to other your sins, and pray ye each for other, that ye be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man is much worth.
Nigh ye to God, and he shall nigh to you. Ye sinners, cleanse ye the hands, and ye double in soul [or ye double of will], purge ye the hearts.
For the Lord loveth doom, and shall not forsake his saints; they shall be kept without end. Unjust men shall be punished; and the seed of wicked men shall perish.
The eyes of the Lord be on just [or rightwise] men; and his ears be to their prayers.
for he shall not be moved without end. A just [or rightwise] man shall be in everlasting mind;
Blessed is the man, that goeth not in the counsel of wicked men; and stood not in the way of sinners, and sat not in the chair of pestilence.
In all mine heart I sought thee; put thou me not away from thy behests.
Consequências
O Senhor recompensará cada um segundo suas obras. A justiça exalta a nação e traz segurança aos que a praticam.
that shall yield to each man after his works;
See ye, that no man yield evil for evil to any man; but evermore pursue ye that that is good, each to other, and to all men.
But also if ye suffer anything for rightwiseness, ye be blessed; but dread ye not the dread of them, that ye be not disturbed [or distroubled].
And if ye do well to them that do well to you, what grace [or what thank] is to you? for sinful men do this thing.
Falling of man is to make avow [or vow] to saints, and afterward to withdraw the vows.
