Righteousness

CRITICAL: 義 is a Confucian Five Constant Virtue — a social-loyalty-and-duty ethic still culturally reinforced in Cantonese popular media (loyalty-and-brotherhood themes, e.g. triad/gangster-film 義氣 ‘yi hei’, code of honor among associates). Biblical righteousness is right standing before God received through faith, not a code of loyal conduct earned and displayed among peers. Always flag with a distinguishing note in justification contexts.
