What's the opposite word for “sin”?

Well, I have got the answer 'virtue' from most people I asked. But still the answer is not satisfactory to me.

Not all words have an opposite. – JSBձոգչ Apr 17 '12 at 19:00

I suspect your dissatisfaction is with the philosophical or theological concepts, and not actually with the English words. – Mark Beadles Apr 17 '12 at 19:13
The exact opposite of "sin" is "faq-conforming, duplicate-free, well-tagged topicality". – Kaz Apr 17 '12 at 21:27

If you are asking about sin as a generality (the earth is full of sin), you might consider righteousness or morality.

If you are asking about an individual infraction (that was a particularly heinous sin), I might suggest obedience.
