Social Justice

‘You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty. In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor.

Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy.

Open your mouth, judge righteously, And plead the cause of the poor and needy.

Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.

Thus says the LORD: “Execute judgment and righteousness, and deliver the plundered out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong and do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, or the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place.

He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?

Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
