'Righteousness' in the Bible

For if there was glory in the ministry that produced condemnation, how much more does the ministry that produces righteousness excel in glory!

God made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that in him we would become the righteousness of God.

by truthful teaching, by the power of God, with weapons of righteousness both for the right hand and for the left,

Do not become partners with those who do not believe, for what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

Just as it is written, "He has scattered widely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness remains forever."

Now God who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your supply of seed and will cause the harvest of your righteousness to grow.

Therefore it is not surprising his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will correspond to their actions.
