'Righteousness' in the Bible
For if the ministry of condemnation be glory, much rather the ministry of righteousness abounds in glory.
Him who knew not sin he has made sin for us, that we might become God's righteousness in him.
in the word of truth, in the power of God; through the arms of righteousness on the right hand and left,
Be not diversely yoked with unbelievers; for what participation is there between righteousness and lawlessness? or what fellowship of light with darkness?
according as it is written, He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor, his righteousness remains for ever.
Now he that supplies seed to the sower and bread for eating shall supply and make abundant your sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:
It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
