then "being just" gets you nearer to that goal.

Or "being just" is nearer to righteousness than having hatred.

"Nearer" is a comparative adjective so it implies that it is comparing "being just" to something else, and "the hatred of a people" is the other subject of the previous sentence, which implies this is what it is being compared against.
