- the righteousness:
- "And I will restoreª° thy judgesª° as at the first,ª and thy counsellorsª° as at the beginning:ª afterwardª¹ thou shalt be called,ª° The cityª of righteousness,ª the faithfulª° city.ª ... Zionª shall be redeemedª° with judgment,ª and her convertsª° with righteousness.ª" {Isa 1:26-27} + "Until¹ the spiritª be pouredª° upon¹ us from on high,ª¹ and the wildernessª be¹ a fruitful field,ª and the fruitful fieldª be countedª° for a forest.ª ... And the workª of righteousnessª shall be¹ peace;ª and the effectª of righteousnessª quietnessª° and assuranceª for² ever.ª¹" {Isa 32:15-17} + "My righteousnessª [is] near;ª my salvationª is gone forth,ª° and mine armsª shall judgeª° the people;ª the islesª shall waitª° upon¹ me, and on¹ mine armª shall they trust.ª° ... Lift upª° your eyesª to the heavens,ª and lookª° upon¹ the earthª beneath:¹¹ for¹ the heavensª shall vanish awayª° like smoke,ª and the earthª shall wax oldª° like a garment,ª and they that dwellª° therein shall dieª° in like² manner:²¹¹ but my salvationª shall be¹ for ever,ª and my righteousnessª shall not¹ be abolished.ª°" {Isa 51:5-6} + "Awake,ª° awake,ª° put onª° strength,ª O armª of the LORD;ª awake,ª° as in the ancientª days,ª in the generationsª of old.ª [Art] thou¹ not¹ it¹ that hath cutª° Rahab,²¹ [and] woundedª° the dragon?ª" {Isa 51:9} + "I will greatly²° rejoiceª° in the LORD,ª my soulª shall be joyfulª° in my God;ª for¹ he hath clothedª° me with the garmentsª of salvation,ª he hath coveredª° me with the robeª of righteousness,ª as a bridegroomª deckethª° [himself] with ornaments,ª and as a brideª adornethª° [herself] with her jewels.ª ... For¹ as the earthª bringeth forthª° her bud,ª and as the gardenª causeth the things that are sownª in it to spring forth;ª° so¹ the Lordª GODª will cause righteousnessª and praiseª to spring forthª° before¹ all¹ the nations.ª" {Isa 61:10-11} + "[[A Psalm.]]ª O singª° unto the LORDª a newª song;ª for¹ he hath doneª° marvellous things:ª° his right hand,ª and his holyª arm,ª hath gotten him the victory.ª° ... He hath rememberedª° his mercyª and his truthª toward the houseª of Israel:ª all¹ the endsª of the earthª have seenª°¹ the salvationª of our God.ª" {Psa 98:1-3} + "But the pathª of the justª [is] as the shiningª light,ª that shinethª° more²° and more¹ unto¹ the perfectª° day.ª" {Prv 4:18} + "And manyª nationsª shall come,ª° and say,ª° Come,²°¹ and let us go upª° to¹ the mountainª of the LORD,ª and to¹ the houseª of the Godª of Jacob;ª and he will teachª° us of his ways,ª¹ and we will walk²°¹ in his paths:ª for¹ the lawª shall go forthª° of Zion,ª¹ and the wordª of the LORDª from Jerusalem.ª¹" {Mic 4:2} + "Let yourª lightª soª shineª° beforeª men,ª thatª they may seeª° yourª goodª works,ª andª glorifyª° yourª Fatherª whichª is inª heaven.ª" {Mtt 5:16} + "Forª mineª eyes²¹ have seenª° thyª salvation,ª ... A lightª toª lightenª the Gentiles,ª andª the gloryª of thyª peopleª Israel.ª" {Lke 2:30-32} + "Thatª ye may beª° blamelessª andª harmless,ª the sonsª of God,ª without rebuke,ª inª the midstª of a crookedª andª perverseª° nation,ª amongª whomª ye shineª° asª lightsª inª the world;ª ... Holding forthª° the wordª of life;ª that²¹ Iª may rejoiceª¹ inª the dayª of Christ,ª thatª I have²° notª runª° inª vain,ª neitherª labouredª° inª vain.ª" {Php 2:15-16} + "Butª yeª [are] a chosenª generation,ª a royalª priesthood,ª an holyª nation,ª a peculiarªª people;ª thatª ye should shew forthª° the¹ praisesª of him¹ who hath calledª° youª out ofª darknessª intoª hisª marvellousª light:ª" {1Pe 2:9}
