Jesus and the insufficiency of justice: Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. Luke 6:34

Jesus, according to the gospel of Luke, when he pronounced the Sermon on the Mount, the synthesis and summary of the morals and ethics of God's plan, the divine master taught the requirements to enter into the Kingdom of God, the empire or dominion of the divine perfections.
And to teach this, first of all, Jesus explained the insufficiency of justice, because this virtue of the soul is fundamentally giving and receiving in a proportional manner.
Given this situation, for Jesus justice could become a simple convenience, a product of human selfishness in the search for a balance against conflicts of interest. Although the human virtues that come naturally from the soul are important, according to the thought of Jesus beatitude has no relation to matters of the soul but to matters of the spirit. Paradoxically, the beatitude does not seek happiness, but happiness comes from it, because the beatitude is an excellence or perfection, and this is what Jesus wanted to explain when he taught the Sermon on the Mount. Spirituality is the search for full resemblance to God: "Be merciful as your heavenly Father is merciful" Luke 6:36.
In a certain sense, this reasoning is not a continuation of the thought expressed in the books that teach the law such as Deuteronomy, but rather a continuation of the sapiential books that put God's wisdom as the highest good to pursue.
With these words, Jesus showed that justice is far from the Kingdom of God and that new life is much more than human selfishness:
"And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount" Luke 6:33-34.
