A person's conscience is their moral code. It is what influences them to do what they feel is right, and it can make them feel guilty about doing wrong. The degree to which conscience affects behavior is unique to the individual, but may be strongly influenced by religious faith.

To be conscentious is to act in a manner that fulfills one's obligations or moral principles.
