'Righteous' in the Bible

For in it God’s righteousness is revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith.

who the righteous judgment of God having known -- that those practising such things are worthy of death -- not only do them, but also have delight with those practising them.

But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

For the hearers of the law are not righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be declared righteous.

Therefore if the uncircumcised man obeys the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

let it not be! and let God become true, and every man false, according as it hath been written, 'That Thou mayest be declared righteous in Thy words, and mayest overcome in Thy being judged.'

and not, as we are evil spoken of, and as certain affirm us to say -- 'We may do the evil things, that the good ones may come?' whose judgment is righteous.

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

wherefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.

being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

God presented Him to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be righteous and declare righteous the one who has faith in Jesus.

therefore do we reckon a man to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law.

yes, also of nations; since one is God who shall declare righteous the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through the faith.

for if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath to boast -- but not before God;

But to the one who does not work, but believes on Him who declares the ungodly to be righteous, his faith is credited for righteousness.

Likewise, David also speaks of the blessedness of the person whom God regards as righteous apart from actions:

For if it is the righteous through Law who are heirs, then faith is useless and the promise counts for nothing.

so that the promise should be made sure to all Abraham's true descendants; not merely to those who are righteous through the Law, but to those who are righteous through a faith like that of Abraham. Thus in the sight of God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and makes reference to things that do not exist, as though they did, Abraham is the forefather of all of us. As it is written, "I have appointed you to be the forefather of many nations."

who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.

Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

Much more then, since we have now been declared righteous by His blood, we will be saved through Him from wrath.

and not as through one who did sin is the free gift, for the judgment indeed is of one to condemnation, but the gift is of many offences to a declaration of 'Righteous,'

So then, as through one trespass there is condemnation for everyone, so also through one righteous act there is life-giving justification for everyone.

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

so that the law, indeed, is holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.

so that the righteous requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not live according to human nature but according to the Spirit.

and whom He did fore-appoint, these also He did call; and whom He did call, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He did glorify.

Who shall lay a charge against the choice ones of God? God is He that is declaring righteous,

For with the heart a person believes [in Christ as Savior] resulting in his justification [that is, being made righteous—being freed of the guilt of sin and made acceptable to God]; and with the mouth he acknowledges and confesses [his faith openly], resulting in and confirming [his] salvation.
