When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment.

The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened.”

Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path.

Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.

It is a trap to dedicate something rashly and only later to consider one’s vows.

“No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the Lord.

Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.

The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does.

Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.

Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.

Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!

Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord.

The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.

Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Blessings crown the head of the righteous, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.

Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.

But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry.

But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile.

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.

To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.

God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness.

“You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?” declares the Lord Almighty. “Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with your own house.

Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.

The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.

“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything.

A person may think their own ways are right, but the Lord weighs the heart.

But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!

For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!

God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”

You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

The lips of the righteous know what finds favor, but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse.

My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you. When your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.

Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

Who is wise? Let them realize these things. Who is discerning? Let them understand. The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.

Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the Lord’s anger.

For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths.

The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power; in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
