abstract

  • –Righteousness– is normally what one ought to do, and the –righteous– are those who do it. Paul sees the law of Moses as explicating “righteousness” required of all human beings and “justification by faith” as the extraordinary path to “righteousness” offered by God to the unrighteous of all nations.
