They are made righteous (Romans 5:19) because of faith (Romans 1:17) from beginning to end.
They do righteousness because they are righteous.

They do righteousness because they are righteous.
Easy, they have been imputed (given an advance credit/down payment) the righteous of Christ. The Father see their spiritually derived works and heart AS Christ's...righteous. They do have the spirit of Christ within them...
Q: Now who are the righteous?
You said: Those who do what is righteous.
It’s like me asking who are basketball players and your answer is those who play basketball.
So again, who are the righteous?

Enjoy your day
Job 15:12, Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
Psa 35:19, Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
Pro 10:10, He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.
Pro 6:13, He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
I already answered that question.
Jhn 9:27, He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
Yes an easy question. Thank you for your answer.
The point is, they are righteous because of Christ, and of themselves.

I see you are trying to be cute here with this immature response, as you listed scripture that incorporates my ending 'wink' I posted to you. I suggest you then translate each one and explain why it applies to me so I can understand your thinking and also see if you understand these scripture passages you threw out at me.
And I believe you really know why I ended my post the way I did. Right?!
APAK
No need to translate what is already in the English language.
I can only think that it is because you disagree with me.
