Whether there is justice in God?
Objections
❌ Objection 1 : It seems that there is not justice in God. For justice is divided against temperance. But temperance does not exist in God: neither therefore does justice.
❌ Objection 2 : Further, he who does whatsoever he wills and pleases does not work according to justice. But, as the Apostle says: "God worketh all things according to the counsel of His will" (Eph. 1:11). Therefore justice cannot be attributed to Him.
❌ Objection 3 : Further, the act of justice is to pay what is due. But God is no man's debtor. Therefore justice does not belong to God.
❌ Objection 4 : Further, whatever is in God, is His essence. But justice cannot belong to this. For Boethius says (De Hebdom.): "Good regards the essence; justice the act." Therefore justice does not belong to God.
