Righteous (δίκαιος dikaios)

If you consider that God is righteous, you also know that everyone who acts in righteousness is begotten by Him. (1Jn 2:29)

ἐὰν εἰδῆτε ὅτι δίκαιός ἐστιν, γινώσκετε ὅτι καὶ πᾶς ὁ ποιῶν τὴν δικαιοσύνην ἐξ αὐτοῦ γεγέννηται.

si scitis quoniam iustus est scitote quoniam et omnis qui facit iustitiam ex ipso natus est.

In the language of the Bible, God’s justice is a course of action established by God to experience His mercy. A righteous man in the Holy Scriptures is a man who does God’s will.
