And Christ
Righteousness in the Hebrew Scriptures is God setting things right and keeping faith. Christians believe this rightness is given to us as a gift in Christ, who is himself our righteousness.
The lexical data on this page comes from the public-domain Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance (James Strong, 1890), a Hebrew and Greek dictionary keyed to the King James Bible. It is a reference tool, not a settled verdict: no single word decides a doctrine, and meaning is finally shaped by how a word is used in its sentences.
