 {For therein} (gar en aut(9369)). In the gospel (verse  16 )
of which Paul is not ashamed. {A righteousness of God}
(dikaiosun(8820)theou). Subjective genitive, "a God kind of
righteousness," one that each must have and can obtain in no
other way save "from faith unto faith" (ek piste(9373) eis pistin),
faith the starting point and faith the goal (Lightfoot). {Is
revealed} (apokaluptetai). It is a revelation from God, this
God kind of righteousness, that man unaided could never have
conceived or still less attained. In these words we have Paul's
statement in his own way of the theme of the Epistle, the content
of the gospel as Paul understands it. Every word is important:
s(9374)(8872)ian (salvation), euaggelion (gospel), apokaluptetai
(is revealed), dikaiosun(8820)theou (righteousness of God),
pistis (faith) and pisteuonti (believing). He grounds his
position on  Hab 2:4  (quoted also in  Ga 3:11 ). By
"righteousness" we shall see that Paul means both "justification"
and "sanctification." It is important to get a clear idea of
Paul's use of dikaiosun(885c) here for it controls the thought
throughout the Epistle. Jesus set up a higher standard of
righteousness (dikaiosun(885c)) in the Sermon on the Mount than the
Scribes and Pharisees taught and practised ( Mt 5:20 ) and proves
it in various items. Here Paul claims that in the gospel, taught
by Jesus and by himself there is revealed a God kind of
righteousness with two ideas in it (the righteousness that God
has and that he bestows). It is an old word for quality from
dikaios, a righteous man, and that from dik(885c), right or
justice (called a goddess in  Ac 28:4 ), and that allied with
deiknumi, to show, to point out. Other allied words are
dikaio(935c), to declare or make dikaios ( Ro 3:24,26 ),
dikai(936d)a, that which is deemed dikaios (sentence or ordinance
as in  1:32  2:26  8:4 ), dikai(9373)is, the act of declaring
dikaios (only twice in N.T.,  4:25  5:18 ). Dikaiosun(885c) and
dikaio(935c) are easy to render into English, though we use justice
in distinction from righteousness and sanctification for the
result that comes after justification (the setting one right with
God). Paul is consistent and usually clear in his use of these
great words.
