A Matter of Conscience

A Matter of Conscience

Conscience: there it is again for the apostle Paul. It seems to be a common theme for him as we look at his New Testament letters, but especially when brought before authorities to defend himself. When Paul was first arrested by the Romans in Jerusalem and accused by the leaders of the Jewish Council, he began his defense by looking straight at them and saying, “My brothers, I have fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience to this day.”
