righteous living
Upstanding way of life
Righteous living is conduct aligned with moral or religious principles—a life of virtue, integrity, and ethical behavior.
The phrase appears most often in religious contexts, where it implies obedience to divine commands: The pastor preached about righteous living and its rewards.
More broadly, it can describe any principled way of life: She committed herself to righteous living after years of excess.
