righteousness
righteousness
Noun
This term conveys a sense of absolute moral purity and adherence to a strict ethical code. It often carries a weight of solemnity and conviction, suggesting a life lived in alignment with a higher law or a rigorous set of principles rather than mere legality.
In religious contexts, it describes a state of spiritual grace or justification before a deity. Because it represents an abstract quality of character or a spiritual state, it is an uncountable noun and cannot be pluralized or counted with numbers.
