Righteousness
CRITICAL: پارسایی (parsa’i, piety/virtue) carries a Zoroastrian-inflected ethical-purity connotation, tied to Zoroastrianism’s own good-thoughts/good-words/good-deeds ethical triad - an achievement-of-virtue framework. عدالت keeps the forensic, credited sense Paul intends in Romans 1:17.
