Conversation (manner of life) and godliness are both plural in Greek.

W. Kelly Translation

11
All these things being thusa to be dissolved, of what sort ought ye to be inb holy ways and godliness,

WK Translation Notes

+
a
"There," not "then," is preferred by the Revisers on small but good authority, the copies greatly differing.
b
The addition of "all" before "holy," is an effort in the RV, as in the KJV, to express the plural which expresses every form of behavior and godliness.
