Clothed In Righteousness

Gen. 2:25 "And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed."
BibleNote: I believe Adam and his wife wore clothes of God's righteousness...until they sinned. They were not naked as we know it.
Job 29:14 "I put on righteousness, and it clothed
   me;
My justice was like a robe and a
   turban."
Psa. 30:11 "You have turned for me my mourning
   into dancing;
You have put off my sackcloth and
   clothed me with gladness."
Isa. 11:5 "Righteousness shall be the belt of His
   loins,
And faithfulness the belt of His waist."
Isa. 54:17 " '...This is the heritage of the servants
   of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,'
Says the Lord."
Isa. 61:10 "I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
My soul shall be joyful in my God;
For He has clothed me with the
   garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of
   righteousness...."
Isa. 64:6 "But we are all like an unclean thing,
And all our righteousnesses are like
   *filthy rags; (Lit. a filthy garment)
We all fade as a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind,
Have taken us away."
Zech 3:4 "Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, 'Take away the filthy garments from him,' And to him He said, 'See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes.' "
Matt. 17:1-2 "Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, brought them up on a high mountain by themselves, and was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light."
Phil. 3:8-9 "But indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;"
Rev. 3:4-5

"You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments...."

Rev. 3:18

"I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see."
