Dikaiosynē is courtroom language for being in the right. Romans develops its great theme: no one is righteous by their own record, but God credits (“imputes”) righteousness to those who believe, on the basis of Christ.

So biblical righteousness is first a gift — a status before God — and then a way of life that flows from it. “The righteous shall live by faith,” receiving from God what they could never earn and then living it out.
