I am no preacher, but, am a prime sinner and living in this world in HIS mercy. For a sinner like me too, when I read “The Holy Bible” KJV,  the following verses were given in the context of “righteousness” from the New Testament.

Mat 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him,
Suffer it to be so now:
for thus it becometh us
to fulfil all righteousness.
Then he suffered him.

Mat 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger
and thirst after righteousness:
for they shall be filled.

Mat 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted
for righteousness‘ sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Mat 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness
shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees,
ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.

Mat 21:32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness,
and ye believed him not:
but the publicans and the harlots believed him:
and ye, when ye had seen it,
repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

Luk 1:75 In holiness and righteousness before him,
all the days of our life.

Joh 16:8 And when he is come,
he will reprove the world of sin,
and of righteousness,
and of judgment:

Joh 16:10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father,
and ye see me no more;

Act 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him,
and worketh righteousness,
is accepted with him.

Act 13:10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief,
thou child of the devil,
thou enemy of all righteousness,
wilt thou not cease to pervert
the right ways of the Lord?

Act 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day,
in the which he will judge the world
in righteousness by that man
whom he hath ordained;
whereof he hath given assurance unto all men,
in that he hath raised him from the dead.

Act 24:25 And as he reasoned of righteousness,
temperance, and judgment to come,
Felix trembled, and answered,
Go thy way for this time;
when I have a convenient season,
I will call for thee.

Rom 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God
revealed from faith to faith:
as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Rom 2:26 Therefore if the uncircumcision
keep the righteousness of the law,
shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

Rom 3:5 But if our unrighteousness commend
the righteousness of God, what shall we say?
Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance?
(I speak as a man)

Rom 3:21 But now the righteousness of God
without the law is manifested,
being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

Rom 3:22 Even the righteousness of God
which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all
and upon all them that believe:
for there is no difference:

Rom 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be
a propitiation through faith in his blood,
to declare his righteousness
for the remission of sins that are past,
through the forbearance of God;

Rom 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness:
that he might be just,
and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Rom 4:3 For what saith the scripture?
Abraham believed God,
and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

4: 4. Now to him that worketh
is the reward not reckoned of grace,
but of debt.

Rom 4:5 But to him that worketh not,
but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly,
his faith is counted for righteousness.

Rom 4:6 Even as David also describeth
the blessedness of the man,
unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

Rom 4:9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only,
or upon the uncircumcision also?
for we say that faith was reckoned
to Abraham for righteousness.

Rom 4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision,
a seal of the righteousness of the faith
which he had yet being uncircumcised:
that he might be the father of all them that believe,
though they be not circumcised;
that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

Rom 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world,
was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law,
but through the righteousness of faith.

Rom 4:22 And therefore it was imputed
to him for righteousness.

Rom 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world:
but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses,
even over them that had not sinned
after the similitude of Adam’s transgression,
who is the figure of him that was to come.
5:15 But not as the offence, so also  is the free gift.
For if through the offence of one many be dead,
much more the grace of God,
and the gift by grace,
which is by one man, Jesus Christ,
hath abounded unto many.
5:16 And not as  it was
by one that sinned,  so is the gift:
for the judgment was
by one to condemnation,
but the free gift is of many offences
unto justification.

Rom 5:17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one;
much more they which receive abundance of grace
and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life
by one, Jesus Christ.)

Rom 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one
judgment came upon all men to condemnation;
even so by the righteousness of one
the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

Rom 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death,
even so might grace reign through righteousness
unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Rom 6:13 Neither yield ye your members
as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin:
but yield yourselves unto God,
as those that are alive from the dead, and your members
as instruments of righteousness unto God.

Rom 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield
yourselves servants to obey,
his servants ye are to whom ye obey;
whether of sin unto death,
or of obedience unto righteousness?

Rom 6:18 Being then made free from sin,
ye became the servants of righteousness.

Rom 6:19 I speak after the manner of men
because of the infirmity of your flesh:
for as ye have yielded your members
servants to uncleanness
and to iniquity unto iniquity;
even so now yield your members
servants to righteousness unto holiness.

Rom 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin,
ye were free from righteousness.

Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law
might be fulfilled in us,
who walk not after the flesh,
but after the Spirit.

Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you,
the body is dead because of sin;
but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

Rom 9:28 For he will finish the work,
and cut it short in righteousness:
because a short work
will the Lord make upon the earth.

Rom 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles,
which followed not after righteousness,
have attained to righteousness,
even the righteousness which is of faith.

Rom 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness,
hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

Rom 10:3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness,
and going about to establish their own righteousness,
have not submitted themselves
unto the righteousness of God.

Rom 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law
for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Rom 10:5 For Moses describeth the righteousness
which is of the law,
That the man which doeth those things
shall live by them.

Rom 10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith
speaketh on this wise,
Say not in thine heart,
Who shall ascend into heaven?
(that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

Rom 10:10 For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness;
and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.

Rom 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink;
but righteousness, and peace,
and joy in the Holy Ghost.

1Co 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus,
who of God is made unto us wisdom,
and righteousness,
and sanctification,
and redemption:

1Co 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not;
for some have not the knowledge of God:
I speak this to your shame.

2Co 3:9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory,
much more doth
the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us,
who knew no sin;
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

2Co 6:7 By the word of truth,
by the power of God,
by the armour of righteousness
on the right hand and on the left,

2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
for what fellowship hath righteousness
with unrighteousness?
and what communion hath light with darkness?

15. And what concord hath Christ with Belial?
or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

2Co 9:9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad;
he hath given to the poor:
his righteousness remaineth for ever.

2Co 9:10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower
both minister bread for your food,
and multiply your seed sown,
and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)

2Co 11:14 And no marvel;
for Satan himself is transformed
into an angel of light.

2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing
if his ministers also be transformed
as the ministers of righteousness;
whose end shall be according to their works.

Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God:
for if righteousness come by the law,
then Christ is dead in vain.

Gal 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God,
and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

Gal 3:21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid:
for if there had been a law given
which could have given life,
verily righteousness should have been by the law.

for the hope of righteousness by faith.

unto the glory and praise of God.

touching the righteousness
which is in the law, blameless.

not having mine own righteousness,
which is of the law,
but that which is through the faith of Christ,
the righteousness which is of God by faith:

and follow after righteousness,
godliness,
faith,
love,
patience,
meekness.

but follow righteousness,
faith,
charity,
peace,
with them that call on the Lord
out of a pure heart.

a crown of righteousness,
which the Lord, the righteous judge,
