Conscience 1 Peter 3:15-16
•Two of the biggest names of the 20th century recommend the conscience as a guide . 1 Peter 3:15-16 15 but [a]sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a [b]defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and [c]reverence; 16 [d]and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.
