'Righteous' in the Bible

For a man's anger does not lead to action which God regards as righteous.

Was it, or was it not, because of his actions that he was declared to be righteous as the result of his having offered up his son Isaac upon the altar?

You all see that it is because of actions that a man is pronounced righteous, and not simply because of faith.

In the same way also was not the notorious sinner Rahab declared to be righteous because of her actions when she welcomed the spies and hurriedly helped them to escape another way?

You have condemned--you have murdered-- the righteous man: he offers no resistance.

Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be cured. The heartfelt supplication of a righteous man exerts a mighty influence.
