1. Righteousness reigns through His Word. (v. 14-15)

Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
And the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this Man know letters, having never studied?”
Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2. Righteousness reigns through the author. (v. 16-17)

Jesus answered them and said, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.
If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.
For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.
Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?”
The people answered and said, “You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?”
Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel.
Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?
Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
These things also belong to the wise: It is not good to show partiality in judgment.
My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality.
