'And herein do exercise me, to have always a conscience void of offense towards God, and towards men. (Acts24:16)
Having a good conscience is being able to deal with men and women as you expect them to deal with you. An African proverb says, 'If you know that your action will cause trouble don't do it'. Everyone has a conscience, the small still voice that speaks to you each time you want to do something wrong. The challenge is that some folks choose to ignore it.

Anytime we want to do something wrong, God usually speaks through that small still voice telling us, 'son that way you are going may seem right to you but the end will be destruction, please don't do it'. Paul wrote '... I do check myself, to have always a good conscience void of offense towards God, ... and man'.
Whenever you are hurt, you feel bad about it, whenever you are cheated you feel bad, whenever you are insulted you don't like it, it is expected that you don't do the same to people because offense towards man is equal to offense towards God. That's why Jesus said if you did to the least of thy brothers you did unto me. (Matthew 25:45).
