1 John 3:7 Douay-Rheims

Little children, let no man deceive you. He that doth justice is just, even as he is just.

Glossa Ordinaria

Medieval

He who does justice. That is: he who has the act of justice and the intention is indeed just, but not of himself: rather, as that one is, he proceeds from the same root. Justice is in that one principally, in this one secondarily; in that one naturally, in this one through adoption. This very thing, that he who is just is just from him.
