Anglo Saxon word, rightwiseness, wise in that
which is right.

12. Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel
is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that
they have a zeal for God, but not according to
knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s
righteousness, and seeking to establish their own
righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness
of God. For Christ is the end of the law for
righteousness to everyone who believes.
Romans 10:1–4
13. We are not trying to get, we have
already received.
We are not trying to get there, we
have already arrived.

were healed 2000 yrs ago.

are.

15. But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior
toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness
which we have done, but according to His mercy He
saved us, through the washing of regeneration and
renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us
abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having
been justified by His grace we should become heirs
according to the hope of eternal life
Titus 3:4-6
