"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness." Righteousness is right-doing. It is obedience to the law of God; for in that law the principles of righteousness are set forth. The Bible says, "All Thy commandments are righteousness." Psalm 119:172. That law Christ, by His example, taught men to obey. The righteousness of the law is seen in His life. We hunger and thirst after righteousness when we want to have all our thoughts, our words, and our actions, like Christ's.

"Salige er de, som hungrer og tørster efter retfærdigheden". Matt. 5,6. Retfærdighed er at handle ret. Det er lydighed mod Guds lov, thi i denne lov findes retfærdighedens grundprincipper fremsat. Bibelen siger: "Alle dine bud er retfærd". Sl. 119,172.
