Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
"So that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders." It used to be the practice of churches to go overseas as an entire congregation. When they reached their destination they would evangelize through action, not preaching. They would live holy, loving lives and witness in that way. The hope was that people would see how they live, see their happiness, and accept Jesus as personal lord and savior. We are called to witness through how we live our lives. The 'un-churched' watch the 'churched' and because of that we need to witness to them through how we live: that they may see our joy and peace and come to follow Jesus. The way we live our lives matters, not just to God, but to those around us. God bless you.
