Life is not always fair. It's in the Bible, Ecclesiastes 9:11, TLB. "Again I looked throughout the earth and saw that the swiftest person does not always win the race, nor the strongest man the battle, and that wise men are often poor, and skillful men are not necessarily famous."

God expects fairness in business transactions. It's in the Bible, Proverbs 16:11, TLB. "The Lord demands fairness in every business deal. He established this principle."

Fairness is a part of God's character. It's in the Bible, Isaiah 11:5, TLB. "For He will be clothed with fairness and with truth."

Fairness is a condition of living in God's kingdom. It's in the Bible, Isaiah 33:15, TLB. "I will tell you who can live here: All who are honest and fair, who reject making profit by fraud, who hold back their hands from taking bribes, who refuse to listen to those who plot murder, who shut their eyes to all enticement to do wrong."
