Lexicon :: Strong's G1343 - dikaiosynē

Jesus answered him, “Allow it for now, because this is the way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John allowed him to be baptized.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,

for they will be filled.

“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,

for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

“For I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never get into the kingdom of heaven.

“But seek first the kingdom of God[fn] and his righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.

“For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him. Tax collectors and prostitutes did believe him; but you, when you saw it, didn’t even change your minds then and believe him.

in holiness and righteousness

in his presence all our days.

“When he comes, he will convict the world about sin, righteousness, and judgment:

“about righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me;

“but in every nation the person who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.

and said, “You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery, you son of the devil and enemy of all that is right. Won’t you ever stop perverting the straight paths of the Lord?

“because he has set a day when he is going to judge the world in righteousness by the man he has appointed. He has provided proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”

Now as he spoke about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix became afraid and replied, “Leave for now, but when I have an opportunity I’ll call for you.”

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith,[fn] just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith.[fn]

But if our unrighteousness highlights[fn] God’s righteousness, what are we to say? I am using a human argument:[fn] Is God unrighteous to inflict wrath?

But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, attested by the Law and the Prophets.[fn]

God presented him as the mercy seat[fn] by his blood, through faith, to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his restraint God passed over the sins previously committed.

For what does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness.

But to the one who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited for righteousness.

Is this blessing only for the circumcised, then? Or is it also for the uncircumcised? For we say, Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness.

And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith[fn] while still uncircumcised. This was to make him the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, so that righteousness may be credited to them also.

For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would inherit the world was not through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

Therefore, it was credited to him for righteousness.

If by the one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the overflow of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.

so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness, resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

And do not offer any parts[fn] of it to sin as weapons for unrighteousness. But as those who are alive from the dead, offer yourselves to God, and all the parts of yourselves to God as weapons for righteousness.

Don’t you know that if you offer yourselves to someone[fn] as obedient slaves, you are slaves of that one you obey ​— ​either of sin leading to death or of obedience leading to righteousness?

and having been set free from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.

Now if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit[fn] gives life[fn] because of righteousness.

since the Lord will execute his sentence

completely and decisively on the earth.[fn]

What should we say then? Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained righteousness ​— ​namely the righteousness that comes from faith.

Since they are ignorant of the righteousness of God and attempted to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted to God’s righteousness.

One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation.

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

It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us ​— ​our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption ​— ​

For if the ministry that brought condemnation had glory, the ministry that brings righteousness overflows with even more glory.

He made the one who did not know sin to be sin[fn] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

by the word of truth,[fn] by the power of God; through weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left,

Do not be yoked together with those who do not believe. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

As it is written:

He distributed freely;

he gave to the poor;

his righteousness endures forever.
