Bible Verses About Conscience

For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die;

for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord's;

for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord.

And thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand at the tribunal of the Christ;

for it hath been written, `I live! saith the Lord--to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;'

so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give reckoning to God;

no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence.

I have known, and am persuaded, in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself, except to him who is reckoning anything to be unclean--to that one it is unclean;

and if through victuals thy brother is grieved, no more dost thou walk according to love; do not with thy victuals destroy that one for whom Christ died.

Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of,

for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;

for he who in these things is serving the Christ, is acceptable to God and approved of men.

So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another;

for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God; all things, indeed, are pure, but evil is to the man who is eating through stumbling.

Right it is not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything in which thy brother doth stumble, or is made to fall, or is weak.

Thou hast faith! to thyself have it before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve,

and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because it is not of faith; and all that is not of faith is sin.

but see, lest this privilege of yours may become a stumbling-block to the infirm,

for if any one may see thee that hast knowledge in an idol's temple reclining at meat--shall not his conscience--he being infirm--be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to idols,

and the brother who is infirm shall perish by thy knowledge, because of whom Christ died?

and thus sinning in regard to the brethren, and smiting their weak conscience--in regard to Christ ye sin;

wherefore, if victuals cause my brother to stumble, I may eat no flesh--to the age--that my brother I may not cause to stumble.

and if any one of the unbelieving do call you, and ye wish to go, all that is set before you eat, nothing inquiring, because of the conscience;

and if any one may say to you, `This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,' --do not eat, because of that one who shewed it , and of the conscience, for the Lord's is the earth and its fulness:

and conscience, I say, not of thyself, but of the other, for why is it that my liberty is judged by another's conscience?
