What are acts of righteousness?

Matthew 6:1 (ESV)

1 “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

Righteousness refers to conduct that is in keeping with the will of God. 1 In this instance, Jesus’ focus is on religious exercises/actions which are typically connected with pleasing and honouring God.
