1. The potential parts of justice are the virtues connected withjustice, that is, virtues which share the character of justice, butdo not perfectly conform with it in all respects. To illustrate:one such potential part of justice is the virtue of religion. Thisvirtue has the character of justice inasmuch as it renders to Godwhat is his due, but it cannot ever render all that is hisdue, and hence falls short of perfect justice. The potential partsof justice may be listed as follows: religion, piety, observance(that is, paying due honor and deference), gratitude, revenge (notevil revenge, but rather a compensation), truth,friendship, liberality, and epikeia or equity.
