And now you shall repay me what you borrowed; and I will enumerate the rewards of justice in life and after death.

I granted, for the sake of argument, as you will remember, that evil might perhaps escape the knowledge of Gods and men, although this was really impossible.

And since I have shown that justice has reality, you must grant me also that she has the palm of appearance.

In the first place, the just man is known to the Gods, and he is therefore the friend of the Gods, and he will receive at their hands every good, always excepting such evil as is the necessary consequence of former sins.

All things end in good to him, either in life or after death, even what appears to be evil; for the Gods have a care of him who desires to be in their likeness.
