00:28Good
00:29Okay brothers, let's continue now that we've had this first moment of, well, adjusting a little bit.
00:37We will now delve into the topic of this vision of Paul in Romans, focusing on these three terms.
00:49that are closely related to each other but whose axiology does not always mean what we understand
00:59These are naturally concepts that Saint Paul takes from the Old Testament and projects onto the mystery of Christ.
01:07This makes them, in a way, mysterious elements that we must understand in order to fully comprehend the texts of Galatians.
01:16and Romans
01:18By understanding these terms well, we can see the depth of Christ's action, its necessity, and what it truly meant.
01:26has brought for us and for all humanity
01:30And so let's begin by talking about the term justice. The word justice comes from Hebrew in the Bible, which
01:39It is tzedek which etymologically means the correct, the righteous, the just, the equitable, and at times it also implies the
01:51piety
01:52It is translated into Greek as dicayos, which will designate justice in the Aristotelian sense or rectitude.
02:02These terms refer both to the right rule and to the ordered and just action, that is, justice.
02:11It is a virtue that inclines one to maintain or administer what is right in an equitable and impartial manner and according to
02:20a standard
02:21These words, as we have already stated, convey the idea of honesty and integrity and imply the existence of a
02:30a norm or pattern that determines what is straight
02:34The norm in Judaism will be the law and the covenant; that is the norm.
02:42the checkpoint to know if I'm in or out, to see if I'm fair or unfair
02:50The law and the alliance will be the elements that serve as regulations to determine whether a person is fair or
02:58unfair
02:59These will be the rules by which a person will be evaluated within the justice system.
03:05Despite this, its relationship to law and alliance, the term justice is frequently used in
03:13a legal context
03:15We can see some texts from Sirach, some others from Isaiah, and even in the Book of Revelation, in chapter 19, we might find
03:26also some other elements
03:28In Leviticus, in chapter 19, verse 36, for example, Tzedek is used four times in connection
03:36with commercial transactions
03:39It says it must turn out that they have exact scales, Tzedek, fair weights, Tzedek, exact, that is, an exact
03:52In other words, the word Tzedek means exact, and this exact means that it is fair, that it fits exactly.
04:01to the standard
04:02A hem should weigh exactly what it should, no more, no less, that's the rule.
04:10As we can see, this idea plays an important role within the Old Testament.
04:15And it includes not only the strict Aristotelian justice of giving each person their due.
04:23But rather the entirety of the civil duties of man
04:30On the other hand, the Israelite concept of justice also approximates in some way our ideas of holiness.
04:41Piety can also be interpreted as integrity and, as we just mentioned, as righteousness.
04:48And that is why we find in the texts of the Old Testament that justice is opposed to iniquity.
04:56It is also associated with sin and evil, and therefore is identified with the idea of complete innocence.
05:05As we can see, for example, in Psalm 15, verse 2
05:10He is righteous, he who is upright and without blemish, as Genesis 18 testifies.
05:17Second Samuel, chapter 4
05:201 Kings chapter 2
05:23Job chapter 12 among many others
05:26As we can see, the term justice has a religious foundation above all else.
05:33Justice is human conduct that is in accordance with the will of Yahweh
05:38Man's actions are then subject to the judgment of the just God of Yahweh
05:46He is just, and with that justice He judges each one of us.
05:51As regards the New Testament
05:54The Old Testament idea of justice survives
05:58That is why the patriarchs are called righteous
06:01We could look at Matthew 23
06:05Hebrews 11
06:06The pious people of the Old Testament are also identified.
06:11As mentioned in 2 Peter chapter 2
06:13They are also referred to as the righteous of the Old Testament
06:16The prophets
06:18We can see it in Matthew 13 and Matthew 23
06:21In the end
06:22All those who have lived in holiness and obedience to the law
06:28Thus fulfilling justice
06:30What falls to man is to say
06:33Fidelity to the covenant in all its terms
06:37These are the righteous ones
06:39The righteous person is the one who has always done the will of God.
06:44The one who has conformed to God's plan
06:47Therefore, he has acted justly by doing what God has asked of him.
06:54This is what we apply to the New Testament.
06:58We will see in Saint Luke that the justice of Zechariah is praised.
07:02And also from Isabel
07:04They were said to be righteous
07:07As well as that of Simeon
07:10In addition to these characters
07:12There are others where they talk
07:15Incidentally, of a new and higher justice
07:19It must be more perfect than that of the scribes and Pharisees
07:23As Jesus says
07:25In the Gospel of Matthew
07:27Which consists above all in the right internal intention
07:33And this is a gift from God
07:35So we're seeing that there's an upward trend.
07:39So we're making progress
07:42And now justice is not just about the external aspects
07:46In other words, comply with the external part of the law.
07:49But now this part also has to do with the heart
07:55We cannot simply talk about being fair
07:58When one gives the exact weight
08:02When he/she works the agreed-upon time
08:05But now God invites us to a different kind of justice
08:09A justice that also involves our hearts
08:12With this, the term takes a very important step.
08:16Well, it's not just about the external works that comply with the law.
08:21Go to mass, fulfill these external practices of the law
08:26But rather from internal compliance
08:28From a relationship of faithfulness with God
08:31It requires the heart and the mind
08:34Be in total harmony with God
08:37Which can only be a grace that comes from God
08:41This would be the highest justice.
08:44The one Jesus refers to when he speaks
08:46That justice should be greater than that of the Pharisees
08:49That these people only partially complied with the law
08:54And that's why they cannot be considered
08:57At the end of the New Testament
08:59Truly as fair people
09:01Only by complying with the full standard
09:04Which includes the heart
09:05Then we can talk about fairness
09:08Within the New Testament
09:11God is the one who sets the standard.
09:14And that's why if we expand a little more
09:17What we have already said
09:18The Hellenist Kenneth West
09:21Says
09:22God is the objective standard.
09:25That determines the meaning of the dicayos
09:29That is, the just one
09:30And at the same time it retains that meaning
09:33Constant and unchanging
09:35Since He
09:37He is the unchanging one
09:39Then add the following quote
09:42De Kremer
09:43Taken
09:43Of
09:44Estudis in the Vocabulary of the Greek
09:46New Testament
09:47Says
09:49In which he states
09:50In the biblical sense
09:52Justice
09:53It is a condition of rectitude
09:56Of which God
09:57It's the norm
09:59Which is valued according to
10:01The divine rule
10:02Who conforms to God
10:05In behavior
10:06And it has to do above all
10:08With his relationship with God
10:11And with the way they walked
10:12Before Him
10:13This justice
10:15That we call
10:16Dicayose
10:17Your
10:18That is to say
10:19God's Justice
10:20It is clearly expressed
10:22In the text
10:23From Romans
10:24This is justice
10:25The one Romans speaks of
10:27And in particular
10:28In a text
10:29Very important
10:30Which we will see later
10:30In Romans
10:323.20
10:32Says
10:33For all have sinned
10:34And then
10:35Nobody is fair
10:36Before God
10:38So
10:38Justice
10:40It is perfect rectitude
10:41Both of the mind
10:42As from the heart
10:43And this is what makes us
10:45Really
10:45To be fair
10:47Before God
10:48This is justice.
10:50That belongs to God
10:51And it is valuable
10:53Before Him
10:54It is divine justice
10:56With this justice
10:58Thus defined
10:59The Gospel
11:01He/She comes into the world
11:02Of the nations
11:03That was
11:04Used to it
11:05To measure
11:05With a standard
11:06Different
11:07Justice
11:09These appointments are already in place.
11:11What we have seen
11:12They give us
11:13Or they're going to...
11:14Opening a path
11:15To understand
11:16The concept
11:17Justice
11:18In San Pablo
11:19And above all
11:20The need
11:21Of a grace
11:22Superior
11:23That allows
11:24Reach
11:25This justice
11:26That the law
11:27By itself
11:28He cannot achieve
11:30Let's stop
11:32One moment
11:32Food for thought
11:34On this
11:35Each
11:35At home
11:36Let's summarize.
11:37These texts
11:40This unit
11:41What are we seeing?
11:42It truly is
11:44Dense
11:44And I would like
11:45Invite them
11:46That
11:47Do not proceed
11:48So quickly
11:49As perhaps
11:50In other classes
11:51Because this
11:52It needs to be digested
11:53These terms
11:55Are
11:56So important
11:57That they are going to
11:58Define
11:59If truly
12:00Our life
12:01It's in this
12:02Path to salvation
12:03Or if only
12:05We've stayed
12:06In a justice system
12:07According to the ancient
12:08Will
12:09And this justice
12:10As we are seeing it
12:11And we will define it.
12:12Also later
12:13Well, it doesn't suit us.
12:14To give
12:15As a result
12:16Salvation
12:17We'll be right back
12:18More to come
12:36Thank you.
