righteous path

Way of integrity

A righteous path is a course of action or way of living considered morally correct or spiritually proper.

The phrase carries religious overtones—following God's will, adhering to sacred law—but extends to secular ethics: She believed journalism was her righteous path.

Often used with verbs like follow, stray from, or return to: He strayed from the righteous path in his youth.
