All these quotes are about justification before the Lord.
We are called to walk in righteousness as slaves to it and not slaves to sin
Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?
Rom 6:16
The key issues here is obedience. Obedience, doing, following leads to righteousness, appropriate behaviour, doing the right thing.
The key problem in behaviour is behaviour creates understanding and justification as to why the behaviour is right.
We tend to do things and then justify them after the fact. So changed understanding does not lead to changed behaviour, but obedience does. You will understand these words if you actually do the things commanded in the sermon on the mount.
It is why those who are rebellion will never understand, because their thoughts are justifying their sinful behaviour.
