                 ... So we make it our goal to please Him... Since,
                 then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to
                 persuade men. What we are is plain to God, and I

                 hope it is also plain to your conscience. (2 Corinthians,
                 5:8-11)

                 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a
                 pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
                 Some have wandered away from these and turned to
                 meaningless talk. They want to be teachers of the law, but
                 they do not know what they are talking about or what they
                 so confidently affirm. (1 Timothy, 1:5-7)

                 Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance

                 of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a
                 guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure
                 water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He
                 Who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may
                 spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not
                 give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but
                 let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the
                 Day approaching. (Hebrews, 10:22-25)

                 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with
                 such sacrifices God is pleased. Obey your leaders and submit to
                 their authority. They keep watch over you... Obey them so that
                 their work will be a joy... for that would be of no advantage...
                 Pray for us. We are sure that we have a clear conscience and
                 desire to live honorably in every way. I particularly urge you

                 to pray so that I may be restored to you soon. (Hebrews, 13:16-
                 19)
