Romans 8Romans 8

13For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the spirit (by listening to your conscience) do mortify (kill off) the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Galatians 5Galatians 5

16This I say then, Walk in the spirit (carry on in life according to your conscience), and ye shall not fulfill the lust (voice) of the flesh.

17For the flesh lusteth against the spirit(conscience), and the spirit(conscience) against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

Galatians 5Galatians 5 18But if ye be led of the spirit

(influenced by listening to your conscience), ye are not under the law.

19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery (unfaithfulness), fornication (any sex outside of marriage), uncleanness (diluting God’s agenda/will), lasciviousness (you have no brakes),

Galatians 5Galatians 520Idolatry (giving anything more power

in your life than God), witchcraft ( Gk.-“pharmekia”-abusing medications and drugs), hatred (hostility), variance (constantly arguing), emulations (idolizing man), wrath, strife, seditions (treason, back-stabbing), heresies (party or sect divisions),

Galatians 5Galatians 5

21Envyings (ill will), murders, drunkenness, revellings (wild partying), and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Galatians 5Galatians 522But the fruit of the spirit (the result of

listening to and acting on your conscience) is love (agape), joy (calm delight), peace (quiet prosperity), longsuffering (gk.-fortitude), gentleness (usefulness), goodness (lifestyle of good), faith (calling those things which be not as though they were),

23Meekness (being teachable), temperance (self-control or discipline): against such there is no law.

Galatians 5Galatians 5

24And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections (gk.-emotional influences) and lusts (voices).

25If we live in the spirit (by your conscience), let us also walk in the spirit (by your conscience).

Hebrews 10Hebrews 10

1For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

2For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

Hebrews 9Hebrews 9

11But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

Hebrews 9Hebrews 9

12Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

13For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

Hebrews 9Hebrews 9

14How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

  

Hebrews 10Hebrews 10

19Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

20By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

21And having an high priest over the house of God;

Hebrews 10Hebrews 10

22Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

23Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
