Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things.
Brothers, pray for us.
Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you,
The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison—
I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf,
So I always take pains to have a clear conscience toward both God and man.
Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.
Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.
so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.
and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
And looking intently at the council, Paul said, “Brothers, I have lived my life before God in all good conscience up to this day.”
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in the world with simplicity and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and supremely so toward you.
Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy.
Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.
