                Frequently Asked Questions About just

                How does the adjective just differ from other similar words?

                Some common synonyms of just are conscientious, honest, honorable, scrupulous, and upright. While all these words mean "having or showing a strict regard for what is morally right," just stresses conscious choice and regular practice of what is right or equitable.

                How are the words conscientious and scrupulous related as synonyms of just?

                Both conscientious and scrupulous imply an active moral sense governing all one's actions and painstaking efforts to follow one's conscience.

                scrupulous in carrying out the terms of the will

                Where would honest be a reasonable alternative to just?

                In some situations, the words honest and just are roughly equivalent. However, honest stresses adherence to such virtues as truthfulness, candor, or fairness.

                When might honorable be a better fit than just?

                While in some cases nearly identical to just, honorable suggests a firm holding to codes of right behavior and the guidance of a high sense of honor and duty.

                a difficult but honorable decision

                When is upright a more appropriate choice than just?

                The synonyms upright and just are sometimes interchangeable, but upright implies a strict adherence to moral principles.
