the conscience

²²So, let us draw near with a true heart, in the fullness of faith, having hearts cleansed from an evil conscience, and bodies absolved with clean water.

¹⁶But do so with meekness and fear, having a good conscience, so that, in whatever matter they may slander you, they shall be confounded, since they falsely accuse your good behavior in Christ.

¹⁶And in this, I myself always strive to have a conscience that is lacking in any offense toward God and toward men.

¹⁹holding to faith and good conscience, against those who, by rejecting these things, have made a shipwreck of the faith.

¹⁵All things are clean to those who are clean. But to those who are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean; for both their mind and their conscience have been polluted.

¹⁸Pray for us. For we trust that we have a good conscience, being willing to conduct ourselves well in all things.

¹Then Paul, gazing intently at the council, said, “Noble brothers, I have spoken with all good conscience before God, even to this present day.”

⁹If we confess our sins, then he is faithful and just, so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity.

¹Now the Spirit has clearly said that, in the end times, some persons will depart from the faith, paying attention to spirits of error and the doctrines of devils, ²speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their consciences seared,

⁵Now the goal of instruction is charity from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and an unfeigned faith.

¹⁵For they reveal the work of the law written in their hearts, while their conscience renders testimony about them, and their thoughts within themselves also accuse or even defend them,

⁹holding to the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.

⁴For I have nothing on my conscience. But I am not justified by this. For the Lord is the One who judges me.

¹¹Therefore, having knowledge of the fear of the Lord, we appeal to men, but we are made manifest before God. Yet I hope, too, that we may be made manifest in your consciences.
