God Defines World’s 4,351 Religions

Romans 10:3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

English “righteousness” emboldened in Romans 10:3, 4, 5, 6, and 10 were all translated from Greek feminine noun 1343 dikaiosune from a compound of Greek adjective 1342 dikaios describing and qualifying one’s grammatical subject’s definition of right and Greek suffix 4862 sun denoting union. Greek verb 1344 dikaioo is predicated upon one’s grammatical subject’s definition of right. If you are the grammatical object of God as your only grammatical subject you will be made right per God’s definition of right. If you are the grammatical object of one of the world’s 4,351 religions you will be made right per the doctrine of that one religion’s definition of right. I loathe the English word’s righteous and righteousness because they are predicates of self righteousness rather than God’s definition of right. If anyone or anything other than God performs the action of Greek verb 1344 dikaioo the grammatical objects receiving the action performed are the topic of Romans 10:3.
