Jehovah God always encourages us to lead by example and do things for God 's glory. If we have good conduct and we should as Christians anyways those who may not know God, just might come to worship him. It also mentions God 's inspection visitation. SO, not only can your conduct benefit you, but also allow others to come to know God and be saved.
