5 Really, the objective of this instruction is love+ out of a clean heart+ and out of a good conscience+ and out of faith+ without hypocrisy.+

18 This instruction I entrust to you, my child Timothy, in harmony with the prophecies that were made about you, that by these you may go on waging the fine warfare,+ 19 holding faith and a good conscience,+ which some have thrust aside, resulting in the shipwreck of their faith.

3 I am grateful to God, to whom I am rendering sacred service as my forefathers did, and with a clean conscience,+ never ceasing to remember you in my supplications night and day.

16 Maintain a good conscience,+ so that in whatever way you are spoken against, those who speak against you may be put to shame+ because of your good conduct as followers of Christ.+
