Notes:

(1) In Rev 22:11 the best texts have dikaiosune, "righteousness," with poieo, "to do," RV, "let him do righteousness;" the AV follows those which have the Passive Voice of dikaioo and renders it "let him be righteous," lit., "let him be made righteous."

(2) Dikaiokrisia, "righteous judgement" (dikaios, and krisis), occurs in Rom 2:5.
