What did Jesus say about righteousness?



“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” —Jesus



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



“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.” —Jesus


John 16:7-11

But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin, because people do not believe in me; about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.” —Jesus
