The World's False Theories of Righteousness
John 16:10
Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you see me no more;


The world is examined, convicted, convinced, as to its false theories of righteousness. In Christ was the one absolute type of righteousness; from Him a sinful man must obtain righteousness. Just as sin is revealed by the Spirit to be something far different from the breaking of certain specific injunctions, so righteousness is revealed to be something far different from the outward fulfilment of ceremonial or moral observances (cf. Matthew 5:20; 7:33; Romans 3:21, &c.; 10:3).

(Bp. Westcott.)
