******************************
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
We are called & empowered to Prove what is pleasing to God & to reprove (convict, chasten, punish) everything that is not pleasing to God.. Conviction is what we give to everything that is not pleasing to God..
