'Righteousness' in the Bible

For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it hath been written, 'And the righteous one by faith shall live,'

If, therefore the uncircumcision the righteousness of the law may keep, shall not his uncircumcision for circumcision be reckoned?

And, if our unrighteousness God's righteousness doth establish, what shall we say? is God unrighteous who is inflicting the wrath? (after the manner of a man I speak)

And now apart from law hath the righteousness of God been manifested, testified to by the law and the prophets,

and the righteousness of God is through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, -- for there is no difference,

whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God --

for the shewing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who is of the faith of Jesus.

for what doth the writing say? 'And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;'

and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned -- to righteousness:

even as David also doth speak of the happiness of the man to whom God doth reckon righteousness apart from works:

Is this happiness, then, upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcision -- for we say that the faith was reckoned to Abraham -- to righteousness?

and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,

For not through law is the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith;

wherefore also it was reckoned to him to righteousness.

for if by the offence of the one the death did reign through the one, much more those, who the abundance of the grace and of the free gift of the righteousness are receiving, in life shall reign through the one -- Jesus Christ.

that even as the sin did reign in the death, so also the grace may reign, through righteousness, to life age-during, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;

have ye not known that to whom ye present yourselves servants for obedience, servants ye are to him to whom ye obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

and having been freed from the sin, ye became servants to the righteousness.

In the manner of men I speak, because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as ye did present your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness -- to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to the righteousness -- to sanctification,

for when ye were servants of the sin, ye were free from the righteousness,

that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

and if Christ is in you, the body, indeed, is dead because of sin, and the Spirit is life because of righteousness,

for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land.

What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that is of faith,

and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive;

for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.

For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,

for Moses doth describe the righteousness that is of the law, that, 'The man who did them shall live in them,'

and the righteousness of faith doth thus speak: 'Thou mayest not say in thine heart, Who shall go up to the heaven,' that is, Christ to bring down?

for with the heart doth one believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;

for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;
