Daniel 4:27
27Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you: break off your sins by apracticing righteousness, band your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed, cthat there may perhaps be a lengthening of your prosperity.”Hosea 10:4
4They utter dmere words;with empty oaths they make covenants;
so ejudgment springs up like poisonous weeds
fin the furrows of the field.
Hosea 10:12
12 gSow for yourselves righteousness;reap steadfast love;
hbreak up your fallow ground,
for it is the time to seek the Lord,
that he may come and irain righteousness upon you.
Amos 5:24
24But let justice roll down like waters,and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
Amos 6:12
12Do horses run on rocks?Does one plow there ▼
▼Or the sea
with oxen?kBut you have turned justice into lpoison
mand the fruit of righteousness into wormwood ▼
▼Or into bitter fruit
—John 16:8
8 oAnd when he comes, he will pconvict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:1 John 3:7
7Little children, qlet no one deceive you. rWhoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous.1 John 3:10
10By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, snor is the one who tdoes not love his brother.
