The New Testament continues the Hebrew Bible's tradition of the ethical (1 Thessalonians 2:10) and legal (1 Corinthians 4:4) aspects of righteousness, but adds the element that Jesus embodies righteousness, (Acts 3:14).

Righteousness, like the Kingdom of Heaven, is God's gift through grace, (Matthew 5:6, 6:33).
