There are countless ways of doing wrong without transgressing human law, but we cannot escape divine justice

Unlike human justice, divine justice judges not only people's actions but also their thoughts, their feelings, and their intentions. Suppose you have consciously given bad advice and have driven someone to despair, or to rebel. What tribunal on earth could condemn such behaviour? None, because materially, objectively, there is nothing you can be reproached for. If that person appeals to a judge, saying: ‘Look how so-and-so has driven me to the depths of despair!' the judge will answer that the law makes no provision for such a case, that he can do nothing. So many people, knowing there is no tribunal able to punish their malicious thoughts, feelings and intentions, or their deceitful words, are cunning enough to act in an irreproachable way, and are not caught. There are countless ways of doing wrong without transgressing human law, but we cannot escape divine justice.
