- Acts 24:16
In this hope, I strive always to maintain a clear conscience before God and man.

We show perfect virtue when we both give people no occasion for stumbling and strive to be blameless before God.
Theophylact of Ohrid· Commentary on Acts, 1107Patristic
- Philippians 1:9–11
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
Commentary on Philippians 1:9–111 voice
The elements are worshipped,-the air by Diogenes, the water by Thales, the fire by Hippasus; and by those who suppose atoms to be the first principles of things, arrogating the name of philosophers, being wretched creatures devoted to pleasure. "Wherefore I pray," says the apostle, "that your love may abound yet more and more, in knowledge and in all judgment, that ye may approve things that are excellent." "Since, when we were children," says the same apostle, "we were kept in bondage under the rudiments of the world.
Clement of Alexandria· The Stromata Book 1, 215Patristic
- 1 Thessalonians 3:13
so that He may establish your hearts in blamelessness and holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. Amen.
Commentary on 1 Thessalonians 3:131 voice
And again: "For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord God, Jesus Christ, at His coming? " Likewise: "Before God, even our Father, at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, with the whole company of His saints."
Tertullian· On the Resurrection of the Flesh, 220Patristic
- 1 Thessalonians 5:23
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your entire spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Commentary on 1 Thessalonians 5:231 voice
On this subject the Lord says, "When you come into the land to which I bring you and when you eat of the food of the land, you shall present an offering to the Lord. When you separate the firstfruits of your barn floors, you shall also give the firstfruits of your dough to the Lord." We are a composite of diverse elements mixed together, cold with hot, and moist with dry. This mixture is the source of many pleasures and manifold delights of the flesh. But these are not the firstfruits of this body of ours.
Ambrose of Milan· On Cain and Abel, Book 2, Chapter 1, 397Patristic
- 1 Peter 4:1
Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin.
Commentary on 1 Peter 4:11 voice
The apostle did not say that Christ died in his divinity but in his flesh, so as to emphasize that it was not his divine nature which suffered but his human one. The sufferings are those of the one to whom the body belongs. Since the flesh belonged to the Word, the sufferings of the flesh must be attributed to the Word as well.
Athanasius of Alexandria· CATENA, 373Patristic
- 1 Peter 4:2
Consequently, he does not live out his remaining time on earth for human passions, but for the will of God.
Commentary on 1 Peter 4:21 voice
The will of God which we live by is the witness of the gospel, which kills any interest we may have in human glory.
Hilary of Arles· INTRODUCTORY COMMENTARY ON 1 PETER, 449Patristic
- 1 John 1:8
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Commentary on 1 John 1:81 voice
After this we also entreat for our sins, saying, "And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors." After the supply of food, pardon of sin is also asked for, that he who is fed by God may live in God, and that not only the present and temporal life may be provided for, but the eternal also, to which we may come if our sins are forgiven; and these the Lord calls debts, as He says in His Gospel, "I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me."
Cyprian· Treatise IV. On the Lord's Prayer., 258Patristic
- 1 John 1:10
If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.
Commentary on 1 John 1:101 voice
"If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us." His doctrine, that is, or word is truth.
Clement of Alexandria· From the Latin Translation of Cassiodorus, 215Patristic
- 1 John 3:6
No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him.
Commentary on 1 John 3:62 voices
Just as the person who dwells in virtue and true doctrine does not sin and is not ignorant, so the one who remains in Christ, who is his righteousness and sanctification, does not sin. For how can someone act unrighteously when he is in the …
Didymus the Blind· COMMENTARY ON 1 JOHN, 398Patristic
And you know that He appeared to take away our sins: and in Him, there is no sin. Everyone who abides in Him does not sin. Everyone who sins has not seen Him nor known Him. "And you know that He appeared." You can no …
Oecumenius· Commentary on 1 John, 550Patristic
- 1 John 3:9
Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
Commentary on 1 John 3:91 voice
When we are persuaded by the devil to sin, we receive his seed. But when we go on to complete the work which he urged, then he has begotten us, for through sin we are born to him as children.
Origen of Alexandria· SERMONS ON EXODUS 8.6, 253Patristic
