Righteousness as Inner Grief
Commentators note that Peter calls Lot "righteous" not because he was sinless, but because he was inwardly "sore distressed" by the evil around him. His righteousness was revealed in his grief over sin, showing his heart was aligned with God's. This encourages believers that righteousness is more about the heart's orientation than flawless performance.
