But Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffereth him.

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen of them: else ye have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him.

In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.

And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye behold me no more;

but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.

and said, O full of all guile and all villany, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

inasmuch as he hath appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

And as he reasoned of righteousness, and self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, Go thy way for this time; and when I have a convenient season, I will call thee unto me.

For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith.

But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.)

But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction;

whom God set forth to be a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God;

for the showing, I say, of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus.

For what saith the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works,

Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned for righteousness.

and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto them;
