Bible Verses About Conscience: General references

nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, and it shineth to all those in the house;

so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

`The lamp of the body is the eye, if, therefore, thine eye may be perfect, all thy body shall be enlightened,

but if thine eye may be evil, all thy body shall be dark; if, therefore, the light that is in thee is darkness--the darkness, how great!

`And no one having lighted a lamp, doth put it in a secret place, nor under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, that those coming in may behold the light.

`The lamp of the body is the eye, when then thine eye may be simple, thy whole body also is lightened; and when it may be evil, thy body also is darkened;

take heed, then, lest the light that is in thee be darkness;

if then thy whole body is lightened, not having any part darkened, the whole shall be lightened, as when the lamp by the brightness may give thee light.'

For, when nations that have not a law, by nature may do the things of the law, these not having a law--to themselves are a law;

who do shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also witnessing with them, and between one another the thoughts accusing or else defending,

for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.

And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that it is good,

and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,

for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find,

for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise.

And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me.

I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present,

for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,

and I behold another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of the sin that is in my members.

And him who is weak in the faith receive ye--not to determinations of reasonings;

one doth believe that he may eat all things--and he who is weak doth eat herbs;

let not him who is eating despise him who is not eating: and let not him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for God did receive him.

Thou--who art thou that art judging another's domestic? to his own master he doth stand or fall; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day alike ; let each in his own mind be fully assured.

He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard it , and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it . He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God.
