Interesting that the specific from of the word used there is δικαιοσύνῃ and is used 26 times in scripture. In every instance in means and is translated "righteousness" except in the Catholic Douay-Rheims. Are you surprised? Actually if you want a real exercise in futility, try the Lamsa version and debate someone from INC. Your head might explode. I don't even discuss it with them anymore.

I wouldn’t discuss with Catholics here if it weren’t for those lurkers who need to see the truth which counters Catholicism.

That whole thing comes from an erroneous belief that the original New Testament, especially Matthew, was written in Aramaic or Hebrew. People like Michael Rood and others do the same thing. They don't even believe that the New Testament we have today is the infallible words of God. Some weird beliefs and practices result.
