Acts 24Acts 24

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

Titus 1Titus 1   10For there are many unruly and vain

talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

   11Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

   12One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, the Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

   13This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

Titus 1Titus 1   14Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and

commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

   15Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

   16They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

   [[7But if we walk in the light (according to our conscience), as he is in the light (one spirit with the Lord), we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.]]

I John 1I John 1

   8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

   9If we confess (gk. – acknowledge) our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

   10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

I John 2I John 2

1My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

 2And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
