Study Lenses

The verse centers on "holiness", "righteousness", "before", "days", and "life". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "holiness" and "righteousness", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 74's "That he would grant unto us that..." into verse 76's "And thou child shalt be called the...", so "holiness" and "righteousness" belong inside that flow. In Luke context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "holiness" and "righteousness" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
