What is unrighteousness though? What is righteousness?All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.
— 1 John 5:17
1 John 3:7-8
7Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Righteousness is something you practice, and sin is the opposite to righteousness. Well, as 1 John 3:4 says, sin, is the transgression of Torah. Therefore righteousness, would be the practicing of it.
Romans 2:13 - (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
The hearer's of the law aren't just, but the doers are just. If you want to be free of sin, you have to read the first five books of the bible because in those five books God lays out what He desires His children to do. It is what Jesus came to show us. He condemned the pharisees and saducees for their traditions that did away with God's law, and taught perfect obedience to His law. It's not an overnight thing though, but in time you will be able to walk in righteousness with much prayer and seeking. It's not an overnight process, but it can be done with Jesus, prayer, and patience. If you are spiritually minded, because of the grace and kindness of God, you will desire to practice His law, but if you are carnally minded, you'll hate the law, and will want nothing to do with it.
Romans 8:6-8
6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
