'Righteousness' in the Bible

Jesus answered him, “Allow it for now, because this is the way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him to be baptized.

Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are blessed,for they will be filled.

Those who are persecuted for righteousness are blessed,for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

For I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of people, to be seen by them. Otherwise, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him. Tax collectors and prostitutes did believe him, but you, when you saw it, didn’t even change your minds then and believe him.
