having your behavior honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.

having a good conscience, that when they speak against you as evildoers, those who falsely accuse your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.
