If they are not obedient to the internal commandments, they cannot be righteous in the sight of God. But Luke described them as righteous in the sight of God.

And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.”

Zachariah did not believe in Gabriel but God still deem him righteous! But you know it is a sin that he doubted the messenger of God!
