Phil 3:3-9 – Righteousness of Saul.
Luke 18:9-14 – Righteousness of lost Pharisee. He wasn’t justified.
Luke 18:18-25 – Righteousness of rich young ruler. Kept outside commandments but not, “Thou shalt not covet” (inside).
Is 64:6 – God’s opinion of the righteousness of Man.
Bible definitions of sin: Not just 10 commandments. NONE have kept these.

I John 3:4 – Any transgression of the Law.
