Virtuous, moral (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

righteous

I believe this is a double definition.

'virtuous' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'moral' is the second definition.
(associated in meaning)

(Other definitions for righteous that I've seen before include "Moral - virtuous" , "Morally justifiable, or people who behave thus" , "Showing virtue" , "Virtuous, free from sin or guilt" , "Morally justified" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
