Being full or being filled


Acts 23:1

New English Translation

23 Paul looked directly at the council and said, “Brothers, I have lived my life with a clear conscience before God to this day.”

 

Being full or being filled

 

Filled with the Holy Spirit includes the conscience

Not any part of the soul seems to be part here

No flesh can contain by what is considered Holy

The flesh is really clueless and the idea of Holy Fear

 

 Acts 24:16                  New English Translation

16 This is the reason I do my best to always have a clear conscience toward God and toward people.

 

We are not apart from it as the conscience is within my reach

Maybe I’m not in the reach of it for my will is here involved

It takes a great effort for sure for “the wanting to be told”

All the wrongs that are in me for pride will not easily dissolve
