 1.      4.3:  Even until now my conscience harasses me because of my impious act.

          Rom 2.15: They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, to which their own conscience also bears witness; and their conflicting thoughts will accuse or perhaps excuse them

 2.      5.5:  Accordingly, my children, flee from sexual promiscuity, and order your wives and daughters not to adorn their heads and their appearances so as to decieve man’s sound minds.  For every woman who schemes in these ways is destined for eternal punishment. 

         1Cor 6.18: Shun fornication! Every sin that a person commits is outside the body; but the fornicator sins against the body itself.
