Chapter 231:
Justice Is My Spirit
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. HAVE YE dealt justly with all men? . . . I say that it pleaseth me,
yet as a father questioneth his son, so say I also, And hath thy
justice been tempered with a sense, or hast thou been foolish in
scattering thy largess?
2. Would I not be remiss in my performance if I rebuked you
not for over-generosity? Hear ye my logic. . . .
3. Men admire not, neither respect they, that which hath a
foolishness in soft largeness of the spirit;
4. I tell you to such the order of giving is reversed; they give
unto you at their manifest election, ye do take from yourselves
as from a silly butler, ye do scatter to the foolish in that
they ask it.
5. Is it not godlike that each gift should have purpose
warranting its giving?
6. Ye know that it hath been said: Give unto him who asketh
of you your coat, yea if he offend you, give him also your cloak.
7. Verily did I say: Give not unto him who hath no right to
either, except on his demand. Are ye of me? . . . What is that to
usury? what is that to craft?
8. Brawl not, beloved, yet be ye not supine in your courage
when that which is injustice threateneth you with duress. It is a
kingly thing to give a man a shekel in that he suffereth for the
cloak it will buy him; it is an offense unto that which is his
godhood to present him with the shekel in that he hideth his first
cloak in a thorn-tree.
9. Generosity is of me. Over-generosity cometh of the Evil
One.
10. Justice is my Spirit. My soul is men's Justice. But justice
applieth unto the giver as well as unto him who receiveth
the gift.
11. Men hold not in respect him who hath no raiment, in that
he giveth it when those who do receive it are able to acquire
such raiment for themselves.
12. Beloved, be advised: There are those among you whose
inclination is to overgive; men say, They are generous to a
fault. . . . .
13. Verily say they rightly. Such is not mature, that giving is but
childish. I speak as a friend having wider wisdom, not as a lord
who commandeth his stricture and visiteth his displeasure on
those who heed it not.
14. Let us think of the future. Be of expectant heart and
calm confidence that I value you too much to let you linger by
the wayside in that ye need coins that Caesar's mint hath
issued.
15. The way openeth, the morn decideth; my work shall have
its substance.
16. I am not of this world, yet trust that I know the obligations
of this world and the way in which men perceive earthly
righteousness.
17. I say that it is godlike that there be those among you who
keep the spoken word that it shall be their sacrament.
18. Go with him who asketh of you, and trade with him who
seeketh trade; never have I told you that such were not
honorable; go ye into the market places as ye will and have
your covenants, but go knowing that I am aware of such
traffickings with Affluence.
19. There are those who would claim unjustly of your
bargainings. I say, Pay them not. There are those who would
claim of you in justice. I say, See to it that ye pay them till the
final farthing melteth.
20. There are those who would scoff at you for incredulity of
heart; scoff not in return but bestow on them a blessing.
21. These things I counsel you; these things have high
approval of your Brother, Lord and Servant.
22. Stand not on honor when honor meaneth spleen; stand
strong for honor when honor meaneth equity.
23. Try not to be estranged from Love by thoughts of loyalty
exaggerated when those ye love are truant; behold I am waiting
at all times to aid you.
24. The Son of Man hath a mission indeed; he is of good intent
unto the world; he is come to men as Man.
25. Be of stout courage and embrace them for me. Plans have
swift stridings that perfect world redemptions. I make them of
substance. I give them their brevets. Know that I have need of
you and that I take counsel of my Father, that we may proceed
with a vaster acumen. . . .
