Other / Non-religious terms to express spiritual truth | | English term or phrase: righteousness | Greetings,
The central doctrine of Christianity is that everyone has sinned so no one has true righteousness and we can only avoid God’s terrible punishment (though truly deserved by us) for the bad things we have done by believing in Christ and following Him and thus obtaining His righteousness.
Having said that, I am definitely not looking for a “religious” word but rather a word that anyone can understand. For this reason, I imagine that an Öztürkçe word would probably suit best.
All the best, and many thanks,
Simon |

I think it corresponds to "righteousness" since it means being fair and just. You did not require a religious word but "hakkaniyet" is also used in religious texts and is a commonly known word. |
