I am looking for a word to mean "righteous". I know the most commonly found meanings, but I am looking for something with more of a nuanced meaning. Thank you!

Do they use it outside of Mexico? - lorenzo9, Apr 3, 2011
Being most familiar with Mexican Spanish, I'm not so sure lorenzo, that's why I didn't describe it as common. - Deanski, Apr 3, 2011

In some Bible translations, the original word for "righteousness" is translated as "justicia".
Hebrews 1:19 for example.
Another synonym in Spanish might be "rectitud".

The slang phrases for "right on" and "righteous" (as in supercool) vary from country to country.
