Ok, I give up. Trembling before God?
A quote from Nikita David Paphlagonia, discussing the Apostle Andrew:
Их невежество и злоба ни в малейшей степени не запятнали его образа жизни – более того, избытком своей доброты и богоподражания он сумел растопить большую часть нечестия и бестолковости, подобно тому как солнце распростирает свои лучи поверх тины и, само не загрязнившись, выжигает, уничтожает и уменьшает зловоние» В столь же высокопарных выражениях прославлено и миссионерство апостола Матфия

Тут я бы не переводила однозначно, все-таки, руководствуюясь данным контекстом. Еще вариант - righteousness

Godliness is usually translated благочестие, а богоподражание это скорее imitation of God, Christlikeness

Imitation of God
The coleague has provided the most accurate translation - not only it has a clear Biblical reference but also it is the translation of one of the main Christian books after the Bible by Thomas a Kempis - "The Imitation of Christ" [О подражании Христу]

Reference:
It literally means "to emulate God"
to be an admonition for man to emulate God by doing loving-kindness, judgment and righteousness. Rambam spends a whole chapter, MN 3:53, defining these three words - חֶסֶד מִשְׁפָּט וּצְדָקָה - how they relate to God’s actions and consequently how to emulate Him.

Reference:
The Imitation of God
If there is any one principle of conduct for the Christian, it is this: What would Christ do?
(Eph 5:1-14 NIV) Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children {2} and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Итак, подражайте Богу, как чада возлюбленные, 2 и живите в любви, как и Христос возлюбил нас и предал Себя за нас в приношение и жертву Богу, в благоухание приятное.

: This is certainly right. Analogous in the West in the famous work by Thomas a Kempis, "The Imitation of Christ." Please post this as an "answer" so we can vote for it properly.
