Conviction

After Paul discussed things with Felix, Felix came under conviction.

“Conviction is a powerful thing.” The Word can bring conviction. 12For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.[2] [NASB95]
