What the Bible says about Standards of Righteousness
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Genesis 3:7

Immediately after their sin, and the knowledge of what they had done began to dawn on them, Adam and Eve immediately begin to “make do,” to adapt. This is illustrated by them making clothing for themselves. Quality of clothing is later used in the Bible as a symbol of the quality of righteousness, and their “making do” shows us that they were creating their own standards of righteousness. To add insult to injury, they hid from God when they knew He was about.

The Christian and the World (Part Two)

Ezekiel 14:13-14

God is setting the examples and reputations of these three men as standards of faithful, righteous behavior under stressful circumstances for us to follow and strive to reproduce. Even the order is interesting. Obviously, Noah was the first chronologically, but Job lived long before Daniel—perhaps even a thousand years before him—yet Daniel precedes Job on the list. Was one more righteous, more respected than the other? Perhaps. Are they listed in the order of the severity of what they endured, their righteousness being equally worthy? Maybe. However, God usually lists things in the order He wants them considered, and Noah is listed first.
