'Right' in the Bible

or to provincial Governors as sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers and the encouragement of those who do what is right.

For it is God's will that by doing what is right you should thus silence the ignorant talk of foolish persons.

If you do wrong and receive a blow for it, what credit is there in your bearing it patiently? But if when you do right and suffer for it you bear it patiently, this is an acceptable thing with God.

Thus, for instance, Sarah obeyed Abraham, acknowledging his authority over her. And you have become Sarah's children if you do what is right and permit nothing whatever to terrify you.

For it is better that you should suffer for doing right, if such be God's will, than for doing evil;

who is at God's right hand, having gone into Heaven, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.

Humble yourselves therefore beneath the mighty hand of God, so that at the right time He may set you on high.
