'Righteous' in the Bible

So Joseph her husband, being righteous and not wanting to disgrace her, intended to divorce her secretly.

But go [and] learn what it means, "I want mercy and not sacrifice." For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

The one who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward.

For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous [people] longed to see what you see, and did not see [it], and to hear what you hear, and did not hear [it]!

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. The one who has ears, let him hear!

Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the evil from among the righteous

In the [same] way, on the outside you also appear righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees--hypocrites!--because you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous,

so that upon you will come all the righteous blood shed on the earth from the blood of righteous Abel up to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed [you], or thirsty and give [you something] to drink?

And these will depart into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

And [while] he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent [a message] to him, saying, "{Have nothing to do with that righteous man}, for I have suffered much as a result of a dream today because of him.")
