Acts 24:16
And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offense toward God, and toward men.

The ring usually appeared like any other ornament of the sort, but so soon as its wearer formed an evil thought or desire, the golden circlet became a monitor, suddenly contracting, and by pinching the finger, warned him of sin.

(J. N. Norton, D. D.)
