'Righteousness' in the Bible

From: Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus, the Messiah. To: Those who have received faith that is as valuable as ours through the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus the Messiah.

It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than to know it and turn their backs on the holy commandment that was committed to them.

But in keeping with his promise, we are looking forward to new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness is at home.
