"having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed."
When people get angry at others and start trash talking them or saying mean things, the automatic response is defensive. People tend to respond with why they are not that way or to pull down the person who is accusing them. When Christians are treated in this manner, that is the very thing they shouldn't do. Just go about living your life normally and with the best behavior you can with as meek an attitude as you can.
This way when people then turn their eyes on you to see how you are behaving, they see that those who accuse you are not justified.
This is a place where I am study God's Word for myself. I am a bit of a historian so also including some research into the culture of the times and people that I come across as I read the Bible will be here too. This is just a way for me to share what I learn with others as well as feel like I am being held accountable for keeping up with my devotions. I am lazy by nature and need that small check and balance.
