163:16 Lit having a goodand keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who disparage your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.
16And see to it that your conscience is entirely clear, so that every time you are slandered or falsely accused, those who attack or disparage your good behavior in Christ will be shamed [by their own words].
16Live so that you don’t have to feel you’ve done anything wrong. Some people may say evil things about your good conduct as believers in Christ. If they do, they will be put to shame for speaking like this about you.
