Conversation means:  verbal communication but it also means "manner of life".
 
Dictionary.com:   Meaning of communication:  behavior or manner of living

Hebrews 13:5-6
 

5 Let your conversation (manner of life) be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for HE hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.



6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.


 
Covetousness often comes by comparing yourselves with other people.  Desiring that which other people have or desiring to outdo other people.
 
Therefore Paul explains:
 

2 Corinthians 10:12  For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

James 3:13   Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation (manner of life) his works with meekness of wisdom.
