But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!

Justice. Justice is not like the vengeance man seeks against another. Justice is not the poor becoming rich as the rich become poor. Justice begins and ends in the eyes of the Lord. It is those who seek knowledge through the truth, that find it available through their belief it exists.
Justice is when you find out that perfection can work through you, even though you are stricken by condemnation, or devistated by corrupt worldliness. Justice is for your soul to see that what is righteous is of God alone.
When you approach the Father by His Authority, (in the name of Jesus; not in words but Spirit), you honor the Father. And, when you give thanks for what comes through you, because it is of Him and not you, you are glorifying that gift. The cost of this mediation was His only begotten son. So for you to recognize it with thanks, is to begin to understand how much you are loved.
To drink, to take into yourself a strength, a power that is holy, so that you can serve others with such fruit, is to act on that belief. This service is what replaces the gain of self righteous behavior. To bring into yourself; something greater than yourself to serve others, is what Christ Jesus did. He did his Father's will, even under the weight of destruction. To drink of that selflessness, to be holy as he is holy, is to humble yourself before God.

The teachings of Silvanus Codex 7
My son, listen to my teaching, which is good and useful, and end the sleep which weighs heavily upon you. Depart from the forgetfulness which fills you with darkness, since if you were unable to do anything, I would not have said these things to you. But Christ has come in order to give you
this gift. Why do you pursue the darkness when the light is at your disposal? Why do you drink stale water, though sweet wine is available for you? Wisdom summons you, yet you desire folly.
Not by your own desire do you do these things, but it is the animal nature within you that does them.

It is human nature to credit ourselves with what we draw from the kingdom. Some do it because they are blind to the truth, some do it because they deny the truth, and some do it because they do not comprehend what truth is. Very few of us glorify the Father for the kingdom and the holiness of the Spirit that come through us. It is human ignorance that claims the fruits of the spirit as acts of the flesh.
So when you are patient, it is patience coming through you, not of you. So recognize it and give thanks in spirit for it, sincerely. Do this with all the fruits that you seek and are supplied; and you will find they come in abundancy, as there is not limit to the fullness of the power of God un these unseen fruits. Amen.
Thirst not to satisfy your reactions to what is placed in front of you. Thirst instead to honor the Father by His Truth. The Holy Spirit acts by the kingdom, but the Holy Spirit also is witness to what is given thanks for. When Christ returns and claims the kingdom, those who are if the body of Truth will thirst no more. And when Christ returns and claims the kingdom, those who he does not recognize will thirst and not be quenched.
What is justice, in the context of eternity? Those who glorify the Father by His Truth are secure in the life they are a part of. Those who glorify themselves with the Truth, will have what they have gained taken away and given to someone who will serve the will of God. Justice is not only the cleaving testimony of the Holy Spirit, but is the glorification of the gift of Truth by the God of the Living.
Justice, is what judgement reveals.
