The Robe of Righteousness
Commentators explain that being "clothed with righteousness" is a powerful metaphor for holiness. This is the most important "garment" for both spiritual leaders and all believers, who are a "royal priesthood." This righteousness involves both a holy life and, as some scholars note, the righteousness of Christ that is given to believers as a gift. It is the primary qualification for serving God.
