18 Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.
And Paul, looking stedfastly on the council, said, Brethren, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day.
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also `it is' with you;
But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned:
Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy.
Now I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
And on my behalf, that utterance may be given unto me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
that ye may walk becomingly toward them that are without, and may have need of nothing.
having your behavior seemly among the Gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
