'Right' in the Bible

But it is from Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God [revealing His plan of salvation], and righteousness [making us acceptable to God], and sanctification [making us holy and setting us apart for God], and redemption [providing our ransom from the penalty for sin],

And it is right for such servants to be safe persons.

for of nothing to myself have I been conscious, but not in this have I been declared right -- and he who is discerning me is the Lord:

We are hungry, thirsty, dressed in rags, brutally treated, and homeless, right up to the present.

I am not saying these things to put you to shame, but so that, as my dear children, you may see what is right.

Let us then keep the feast, not with old leaven, and not with the leaven of evil thoughts and acts, but with the unleavened bread of true thoughts and right feelings.

For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders (non-believers)? Do you not judge those who are within the church [to protect the church as the situation requires]?

Does any one of you, when he has a complaint (civil dispute) with another [believer], dare to go to law before unrighteous men (non-believers) instead of [placing the issue] before the saints (God’s people)?

Do you not know that we [believers] will judge angels? How much more then [as to] matters of this life?

Let the husband give to the wife what is right; and let the wife do the same to the husband.

Do not keep back from one another what is right, but only for a short time, and by agreement, so that you may give yourselves to prayer, and come together again; so that Satan may not get the better of you through your loss of self-control.

Now I say this for your profit; not to make things hard for you, but because of what is right, and so that you may be able to give all your attention to the things of the Lord.

But if any man thinks that he is not acting properly and honorably toward his virgin daughter, [by not permitting her to marry], if she is past her youth, and it must be so, let him do as he wishes, he does not sin; let her marry.

But if a father stands firm in his resolve, being free from all external constraint and having a legal right to act as he pleases, and in his own mind has come to the decision to keep his daughter unmarried, he will do well.

It is right for a wife to be with her husband as long as he is living; but when her husband is dead, she is free to be married to another; but only to a Christian.

If anyone seems to himself to have knowledge, so far he has not the right sort of knowledge about anything;

But be careful that this right of yours in no way becomes a stumbling block to the weak.

Don’t we have the right to eat and drink?

Don’t we have the right to be accompanied by a Christian wife like the other apostles, the Lord’s brothers, and Cephas?

Or do Barnabas and I alone have no right to refrain from working?

For it says in the law of Moses, It is not right to keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it. Is it for the oxen that God is giving orders?

Or has he us in mind? Yes, it was said for us; because it is right for the ploughman to do his ploughing in hope, and for him who is crushing the grain to do his work hoping for a part in the fruits of it.

If others enjoy this right over you, don't we have a stronger claim? But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we tolerate everything in order not to put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of the Messiah.

What is the reward then that I have? That in announcing the glad tidings I make the glad tidings costless to others, so as not to have made use, as belonging to me, of my right in announcing the glad tidings.

Now these things happened to them as an example and warning [to us]; they were written for our instruction [to admonish and equip us], upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

Whatever meat may be had at the public market, take as food without question of right or wrong;

If a Gentile makes a feast for you, and you are pleased to go as a guest, take whatever is put before you, without question of right or wrong.

But if anyone says to you, This food has been used as an offering, do not take it, on account of him who said it, and on account of his sense of right and wrong:

Right and wrong, I say, not for you, but for the other man; for the fact that I am free is not dependent on another man's sense of right or wrong.

For it is not right for a man to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

For this reason it is right for the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.

Be judges yourselves of the question: does it seem right for a woman to take part in prayer unveiled?

But about the things of the spirit, my brothers, it is not right for you to be without teaching.

It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail].

Right now three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

I should be right glad were you all to speak in 'tongues,' but yet more glad were you all to prophesy. And, in fact, the man who prophesies is superior to him who speaks in 'tongues,' except when the latter can interpret in order that the Church may get a blessing.

What then is the right course, believers? When you meet together, each one has a psalm, a teaching, a revelation (disclosure of special knowledge), a tongue, or an interpretation. Let everything be constructive and edifying and done for the good of all the church.

Let women keep quiet in the churches: for it is not right for them to be talking; but let them be under control, as it says in the law.

Let all things be done in the right and ordered way.

And last of all, as by one whose birth was out of the right time, he was seen by me.

For I am the least of the Apostles, having no right to be named an Apostle, because of my cruel attacks on the church of God.

But every man in his right order: Christ the first-fruits; then those who are Christ's at his coming.

Come to your senses and stop sinning, for some people are ignorant about God. I say this to your shame.

For I do not wish to see you right now just in passing, but I hope to remain with you for some time [later on], if the Lord permits.

See then that he has the honour which is right. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me: for I am looking for him with the brothers.

Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but he was not inclined to do so just now. However, he will visit you when the time is right.
