of the just. And it is to all of us believers to keep the balance or to seekbalance when there is an imbalance.In Judaism, justice is expressed in the Scripture as thus:"Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, even so do to them."Also, “For I know him, that he will command his children and hishousehold after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to dojustice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham thatwhich he hath spoken of him.” (Genesis, Chapter 18)Christianity views justice as one of the cardinal virtues. It is themoderation between selfishness and selflessness. The concept of justiceis expressed in this passage from Romans:• "Render to all their dues; tribute to whom tribute is due, customto whom custom, fear to who fear, honor to who honor; owe noman anything but to love one another."• “As every man hath received the gift, so let him minister the sameone to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God."• Justice is getting due reward or punishment for what is deserved.God is merciful but He is also just (Deut. 32:4 - righteous) andmust punish sin. In the grace of God, justice fell upon His Son sothat mercy would fall upon us.” [See also Prov. 8:15; Gen. 18:19;Heb. 10:38].CHARITYAll the three religions call on their followers to be charitable.“To be charitable in public is good, but to give alms to thepoor in private is better and will atone for some of yoursins.” [Al-Baqarah Surah; verse 271]30
