Gill's Notes on the Bible
But if a man be just,.... Not legally, as to be wholly free from sin, for there is no such just man, Ecclesiastes 7:20; but evangelically, through the imputation of the righteousness of Christ unto him; and who has a principle of grace and holiness wrought in him; a man of a just principle and good conscience; who is disposed by the grace of God to that which is just and right; for this seems to refer to the inward frame of the mind, as distinct from actions, and as the source of them, as follows:
and do that which is lawful and right; or "judgment" c and "justice"; true judgment and justice, as the Targum; that which is just and right by the law of God, and is so between man and man; the particulars of which follow:
c משפט וצדקה "judiciam et justitiam", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, &c.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 18:5. If a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right — If he be just or holy within, and do what is according to law and equity. What is meant by this, is immediately specified.
