in holiness and righteousness ¹  before him for as long as we live. ² 

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

For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with regard to righteousness.

for the fruit of the light ¹  consists in ²  all goodness, righteousness, and truth –

But now ¹  apart from the law the righteousness of God (which is attested by the law and the prophets) ²  has been disclosed –

namely, the righteousness of God through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ ¹  for all who believe. For there is no distinction,

God ¹  made the one who did not know sin ²  to be sin for us, so that in him ³  we would become the righteousness of God.

Do not become partners ¹  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 ¹  has scattered widely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness remains forever.” ² 

I do not set aside ¹  God’s grace, because if righteousness ²  could come through the law, then Christ died for nothing! ³ 

and to put on the new man who has been created in God’s image ¹  – in righteousness and holiness that comes from truth. ² 

Every scripture ¹  is inspired by God ²  and useful for teaching, for reproof, ³  for correction, and for training in righteousness,

But, according to his promise, we are waiting for ¹  new heavens and a new earth, in which ²  righteousness truly resides. ³ 

For the righteousness ¹  of God is revealed in the gospel ²  from faith to faith, ³  just as it is written, “The righteous by faith will live.” ⁴ 

For ignoring the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking instead to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ¹  ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” ²  (that is, to bring Christ down)

For the kingdom of God does not consist of food and drink, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

He is the reason you have a relationship with Christ Jesus, ¹  who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

he saved us not by works of righteousness that we have done but on the basis of his mercy, through the washing of the new birth and the renewing of the Holy Spirit,

From Simeon ¹  Peter, ²  a slave ³  and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who through the righteousness of our God ⁴  and Savior, ⁵  Jesus Christ, have been granted ⁶  a faith just as precious ⁷  as ours.
