Counsellor’s morally perfect strength of character (4,6)

I believe the answer is:

holy spirit

'counsellor's' is the definition.
(called the Counsellor in parts of the Bible)

'morally perfect strength of character' is the wordplay.
'morally perfect' becomes 'holy'.
'strength of character' becomes 'spirit'.
'holy'+'spirit'='HOLY SPIRIT'

(Another definition for holy spirit that I've seen is " Neat".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
