Teachings of the bible: "So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man."

The Acts of the Apostles tells us about Paul's conversion and the persecution he suffers for bearing witness to Jesus. During one of the trials he declares: "So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man.", Acts 24:16. The conscience is that inner voice that tells us if we proceed with righteousness or sinfully.
We judge others according to our own measure, Aristotle tells us, and this is fundamental, because if we have a good conscience we are going to judge others with compassion, with benevolence, easily forgiving the mistakes of others; on the other hand, if we have a bad conscience, we are going to project our sins onto others, and of course that is the logical thing to do and that has a consequence, "the fear of the other".

Our judgments, our perception of others, depend on the type of conscience that we have developed throughout our lives. Fear, as a diffuse or general sensation, is the first indication that things are not going well in us.
And the choice of friends is fundamental for the formation of personality and consciousness. Paul explains to us in the bible what the role of a good friend is: “We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and do not please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up", Romans 15:1-2. In resume: good friends edify.
Bad friends incite us to a bad conscience: "Do not be misled: ´Bad company corrupts good character´. Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God - I say this to your shame.", 1 Corinthians 15:33-34.
The wise man straightens crooked thoughts, therefore, the acquisition of wisdom is fundamental for a conscience free of guilt and fear. The sinner carries within himself the punishment for his sins: sadness. We choose.
