James 1:20

ORGH GAR ANDROS DIKAIOSUNHN QEOU OUK ERGAZETAI

I would like some help in identifying 'the righteousness of God' in
James 1:20:

1. The phrase refers to 'the righteous status that God confers on us'
=QEOU as subjective genitive.

or

2.The phrase refers to 'the justice of God' =QEOU having a possessive
force.

or

3. The phrase refers to 'the righteous activity that meets God's
approval' =QEOU as objective genitive.


Which is the best way to understand the genitive phrase?
