Exegesis
The adversative alla {ἀλλὰ | al-lá} then shifts to a positive series dikaiosynē kai eirēnē kai chara {δικαιοσύνη καὶ εἰρήνη καὶ χαρά | di-kai-o-sý-nē kaí ei-rē-nē kaí kha-rá}, forming a climactic triad that characterizes genuine participation in the kingdom.
In context — Romans 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not defined by eating and drinking, but by righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit .
