This is obvious enough. Righteousness involves a behavior. A criminal and a non-criminal may know the law. The former disobeys it. The latter obeys it. The fact of the law being written down in a book cannot make anyone righteous. Only the application of law can do that. --Marlin ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
