Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

ἵνα

in_order_that

Here, so that marks not insulting the word of God as a goal or purpose of the good behavior described in verses 4 and 5. This is not the only purpose of living well, but if the young women of the church do not do these things, people will consider God's message to be worthless. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a purpose of what came before.
