Tobit 1:3

[Byzman]

Does anyone else know where or could point me to another Scripture passage(Preferably from the Old Testament) where someone else mentions their righteousness before the Lord as Tobit did here.

Tobit 1:3
I, Tobit, walked in the ways of truth and righteousness all the days of my life, and I performed many acts of charity to my brethren and countrymen who went with me into the land of the Assyrians, to Nineveh.

I am not seeing any at this point, but in the NT this relates a lot to Matthew 8:21-22

There might be some similarities from Job 1:8 to Tobit 1:3 - it sure seems that the stories between the two are (almost) identical regarding their fame and reputation for righteousness…

In the days of Herod, King of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah of the priestly division of Abijah; his wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. Both were righteous in the eyes of God, observing all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blamelessly. (Luke 1:5-6)

In the land of Uz there was a blameless and upright man named Job, who feared God and avoided evil. (Job 1:1)

Therefore the supervisors and satraps tried to find grounds for accusation against Daniel as regards the administration. But they could accuse him of no wrongdoing; because he was trustworthy, no fault of neglect or misconduct was to be found in him. (Daniel 6:5)

I think there is also a reference to Isaiah somewhere as well as Abraham IIRC.

The Bible also calls Joseph (husband of Mary, foster father if Jesus) righteous.

St. Paul claims he was righteous and blameless as regards the Old Law.
