Acts 24:16

• 16 and in this I do exercise myself, to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.

1 Corinthians 4:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21

• 1 Let a man so reckon us as officers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God,
• 2 and as to the rest, it is required in the stewards that one may be found faithful,
• 3 and to me it is for a very little thing that by you I may be judged, or by man's day, but not even myself do I judge,
• 4 for of nothing to myself have I been conscious, but not in this have I been declared right -- and he who is discerning me is the Lord:
• 5 so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.
• 6 And these things, brethren, I did transfer to myself and to Apollos because of you, that in us ye may learn not to think above that which hath been written, that ye may not be puffed up one for one against the other,
• 7 for who doth make thee to differ? and what hast thou, that thou didst not receive? and if thou didst also receive, why dost thou glory as not having received?
• 8 Already ye are having been filled, already ye were rich, apart from us ye did reign, and I would also ye did reign, that we also with you may reign together,
• 9 for I think that God did set forth us the apostles last -- as appointed to death, because a spectacle we became to the world, and messengers, and men;
• 10 we are fools because of Christ, and ye wise in Christ; we are ailing, and ye strong; ye glorious, and we dishonoured;
• 11 unto the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and wander about,
• 12 and labour, working with our own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer;
• 13 being spoken evil of, we entreat; as filth of the world we did become -- of all things an offscouring -- till now.
• 14 Not as putting you to shame do I write these things, but as my beloved children I do admonish,
• 15 for if a myriad of child-conductors ye may have in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus, through the good news, I -- I did beget you;
• 16 I call upon you, therefore, become ye followers of me;
• 17 because of this I sent to you Timotheus, who is my child, beloved and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways in Christ, according as everywhere in every assembly I teach.
• 18 And as if I were not coming unto you certain were puffed up;
• 19 but I will come quickly unto you, if the Lord may will, and I will know not the word of those puffed up, but the power;
• 20 for not in word is the reign of God, but in power?
• 21 what do ye wish? with a rod shall I come unto you, or in love, with a spirit also of meekness?

2 Corinthians 1:12

• 12 For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we did conduct ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;

2 Corinthians 4:2

• 2 but did renounce for ourselves the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully using the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves unto every conscience of men, before God;

2 Timothy 1:3

• 3 I am thankful to God, whom I serve from progenitors in a pure conscience, that unceasingly I have remembrance concerning thee in my supplications night and day,

Hebrews 13:18

• 18 Pray for us, for we trust that we have a good conscience, in all things willing to behave well,

Acts 24:16

• 16 Herein I also exercise myself to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.

1 Corinthians 4:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21

• 1 Let a man so account of us, as of ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
• 2 Here, moreover, it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
• 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of mans judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
• 4 For I know nothing against myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
• 5 Wherefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall each man have his praise from God.
• 6 Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not to go beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other.
• 7 For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? but if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?
• 8 Already are ye filled, already ye are become rich, ye have come to reign without us: yea and I would that ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
• 9 For, I think, God hath set forth us the apostles last of all, as men doomed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, both to angels and men.
• 10 We are fools for Christs sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye have glory, but we have dishonor.
• 11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place;
• 12 and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;
• 13 being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, even until now.
• 14 I write not these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
• 15 For though ye have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I begat you through the gospel.
• 16 I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators of me.
• 17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in remembrance of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every church.
• 18 Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
• 19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of them that are puffed up, but the power.
• 20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
• 21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

2 Corinthians 1:12

• 12 For our glorifying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

2 Corinthians 4:2

• 2 but we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every mans conscience in the sight of God.

2 Timothy 1:3

• 3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers in a pure conscience, how unceasing is my remembrance of thee in my supplications, night and day

Hebrews 13:18

• 18 Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.

Acts 24:16

• 16 Herein I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.

1 Corinthians 4:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21

• 1 So let a man think of us as Christ's servants, and stewards of God's mysteries.
• 2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful.
• 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment. Yes, I don't judge my own self.
• 4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
• 5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.
• 6 Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.
• 7 For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn't receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
• 8 You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you.
• 9 For, I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.
• 10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.
• 11 Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
• 12 We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
• 13 Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
• 14 I don't write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
• 15 For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the gospel.
• 16 I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.
• 17 Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.
• 18 Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
• 19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.
• 20 For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
• 21 What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

2 Corinthians 1:12

• 12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

2 Corinthians 4:2

• 2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

2 Timothy 1:3

• 3 I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day

• 18 Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.

Acts 24:16

• 16 Herein do I also exercise myself to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men alway.

1 Corinthians 4:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21

• 1 Let a man so account of us, as of ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
• 2 Here, moreover, it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
• 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man-s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
• 4 For I know nothing against myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
• 5 Wherefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall each man have his praise from God.
• 6 Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not {cf15i to go} beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other.
• 7 For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? but if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
• 8 Already are ye filled, already ye are become rich, ye have reigned without us: yea and I would that ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
• 9 For, I think, God hath set forth us the apostles last of all, as men doomed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
• 10 We are fools for Christ-s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye have glory, but we have dishonour.
• 11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place;
• 12 and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;

Hebrews 13:18

• 18 Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honestly in all things.

Acts 24:16

• 16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offense toward God, and toward men.

1 Corinthians 4:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21

• 1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
• 2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

• 5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
• 6 And these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that you might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
• 7 For who makes you to differ from another? and what have you that you did not receive? now if you did receive it, why do you glory, as if you had not received it?
• 8 Now you are full, now you are rich, you have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you.
• 9 For I think that God has set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.
• 10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honorable, but we are despised.
• 11 Even to this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place;
• 12 And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
• 13 Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things to this day.
• 14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
• 15 For though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have you not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
• 16 Why I beseech you, be you followers of me.
• 17 For this cause have I sent to you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
• 18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
• 19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
• 20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
• 21 What will you? shall I come to you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

2 Corinthians 1:12

• 12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

2 Corinthians 4:2

• 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

2 Timothy 1:3

• 3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of you in my prayers night and day;

Hebrews 13:18

• 18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.

Acts 24:16

• 16 This is the reason I do my best to always have a clear conscience toward God and toward people.

1 Corinthians 4:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21

• 1 One should think about us this way— as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
• 2 Now what is sought in stewards is that one be found faithful.
• 3 So for me, it is a minor matter that I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.
• 4 For I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not acquitted because of this. The one who judges me is the Lord.
• 5 So then, do not judge anything before the time. Wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the motives of hearts. Then each will receive recognition from God.
• 6 I have applied these things to myself and Apollos because of you, brothers and sisters, so that through us you may learn "not to go beyond what is written," so that none of you will be puffed up in favor of the one against the other.
• 7 For who concedes you any superiority? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast as though you did not?
• 8 Already you are satisfied! Already you are rich! You have become kings without us! I wish you had become kings so that we could reign with you!
• 9 For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to die, because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to people.
• 10 We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, we are dishonored!
• 11 To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, poorly clothed, brutally treated, and without a roof over our heads.
• 12 We do hard work, toiling with our own hands. When we are verbally abused, we respond with a blessing, when persecuted, we endure,
• 13 when people lie about us, we answer in a friendly manner. We are the world's dirt and scum, even now.
• 14 I am not writing these things to shame you, but to correct you as my dear children.
• 15 For though you may have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, because I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
• 16 I encourage you, then, be imitators of me.
• 17 For this reason, I have sent Timothy to you, who is my dear and faithful son in the Lord. He will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church.
• 18 Some have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.
• 19 But I will come to you soon, if the Lord is willing, and I will find out not only the talk of these arrogant people, but also their power.
• 20 For the kingdom of God is demonstrated not in idle talk but with power.
• 21 What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline or with love and a spirit of gentleness?

2 Corinthians 1:12

• 12 For our reason for confidence is this: the testimony of our conscience, that with pure motives and sincerity which are from God— not by human wisdom but by the grace of God— we conducted ourselves in the world, and all the more toward you.

2 Corinthians 4:2

• 2 But we have rejected shameful hidden deeds, not behaving with deceptiveness or distorting the word of God, but by open proclamation of the truth we commend ourselves to everyone's conscience before God.

2 Timothy 1:3

• 3 I am thankful to God, whom I have served with a clear conscience as my ancestors did, when I remember you in my prayers as I do constantly night and day.

Hebrews 13:18

• 18 Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to conduct ourselves rightly in every respect.

Acts 24:16

• 16 This is why I always try to do what I believe is right before God and before everyone.

1 Corinthians 4:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21

• 1 You should think of us as servants of Christ, the ones God has trusted to do the work of making known his secret truths.
• 2 Those who are trusted with such an important work must show that they are worthy of that trust.
• 3 But I don't consider your judgment on this point to be worth anything. Even an opinion from a court of law would mean nothing. I don't even trust my own judgment.
• 4 I don't know of any wrong I have done, but that does not make me right. The Lord is the one who must decide if I have done well or not.
• 5 So don't judge anyone now. The time for judging will be when the Lord comes. He will shine light on everything that is now hidden in darkness. He will make known the secret purposes of our hearts. Then the praise each person should get will come from God.
• 6 Brothers and sisters, I have used Apollos and myself as examples for you. I did this so that you could learn from us the meaning of the words, "Follow what the Scriptures say." Then you will not brag about one person and criticize another.
• 7 Who do you think you are? Everything you have was given to you. So, if everything you have was given to you, why do you act as if you got it all by your own power?
• 8 You think you have everything you need. You think you are rich. You think you have become kings without us. I wish you really were kings. Then we could rule together with you.
• 9 But it seems to me that God has given me and the other apostles the last place. We are like prisoners condemned to die, led in a parade for the whole world to see—not just people but angels too.
• 10 We are fools for Christ, but you think you are so wise in Christ. We are weak, but you think you are so strong. People give you honor, but they don't honor us.
• 11 Even now we still don't have enough to eat or drink, and we don't have enough clothes. We often get beatings. We have no homes.
• 12 We work hard with our own hands to feed ourselves. When people insult us, we ask God to bless them. When people treat us badly, we accept it.
• 13 When people say bad things about us, we try to say something that will help them. But people still treat us like the world's garbage—everyone's trash.
• 14 I am not trying to make you feel ashamed, but I am writing this to counsel you as my own dear children.
• 15 You may have ten thousand teachers in Christ, but you don't have many fathers. Through the Good News I became your father in Christ Jesus.
• 16 So I beg you to be like me.
• 17 That is why I am sending Timothy to you. He is my son in the Lord. I love him and trust him. He will help you remember the way I live in Christ Jesus—a way of life that I teach in all the churches everywhere.
• 18 Some of you are acting so proud, it seems as though you think I won't be coming there again.
• 19 But I will come to you very soon, the Lord willing. Then I will see if these proud talkers have the power to do anything more than talk.
• 20 God's kingdom is not seen in talk but in power.
• 21 Which do you want: that I come to you with punishment, or that I come with love and gentleness?
