Abstract
Matthew, the first gospel account recorded in the Bible, is embedded with several terms and concepts; notable among which is ‘righteousness.’ The concept arguably forms the central significant theme of Matthew’s gospel. Though, righteousness here is seen in the ethical sense; Matthew refers to the proper behavioral norms and attitudes for his community which connotes the quality of being morally correct and justifiable; therefore, Matthew made use of the term in a vital and significant manner understandable to his readers. On this note, Matthew’s style of presentation and expression of righteousness as a central significant theme of his account is examined and this in turn forms the theoretical framework of this paper.
