'Righteousness' in the Bible

But Jesus answered him, "Let it be this way for now, because this is the proper way for us to fulfill all righteousness."

"How blessed are those who are hungry and thirsty for righteousness, because it is they who will be satisfied!

"How blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, because the kingdom from heaven belongs to them!

because I tell you, unless your righteousness greatly exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom from heaven!"

"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of people in order to be noticed by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

But first be concerned about God's kingdom and his righteousness, and all of these things will be provided for you as well.
