The New Topical Text Book - R. A. Torrey (1897)

25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.

5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

7 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

17 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

16 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.

9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.

4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.

8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

4 The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

14 What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

24 Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.

5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

6 And Solomon said, Thou hast showed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.

12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.

7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)

11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.

35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.

12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.

15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

3 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.

15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.

25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.

23 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.

32 For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.

17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.

2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.

3 A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.

10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

19 As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

28 In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.

17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.

150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.

12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:

20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

10 And said, O full of all subtlety and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

7 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,

3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.

10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

3 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.

10 Let favour be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.

43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!

12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.

5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.

6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.

8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.

11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.

21 Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.

21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
