There are three levels of righteousness as follows:
- The sinful men must be justified through the forgiveness by the blood of Jesus on the cross.
All gret things in the world such as riches, intelligence, and position cannot finish sins; even they cause men to commit sin. Only Jesus, a Man who in sinless, who is able to justify the sinners. The requirement is that we can realize, regret, and confess our sins to God and other people honestly by the encouragement of the true teaching Word that points at the hidden sins. Being forgiven, do not repeat the sin! As a result, the blood of Jesus forgives or covers our sin until there is no remnant of it anymore as if we had never done such sin. We live in righteousness. - Righteousness because of being set free from sin.
We do not commit any sin although there are opportunities, advantages, threats, and so on. - We cannot commit sin or we become as righteous as Jesus is.

3:9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

- The righteous lives by faith.
Romans1:17
1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."
It is the same as liking hearing the Word until understanding, or keeping the Word in the heart to become faith, namely the brake so that we do not commit sin.

10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

In the service to God, He gives the guarantee of assurance for our life now until we have the eternal life.
Not being faithful until leaving the service and ministry to God, one will be like the stubble. It means being useless or only waiting for being burnt in the hell. - Hating sins until hating lies. It means being honest.

13:5 A righteous man hates lying, But a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame.
