The opposite of profaning G-d’s name is the sanctification of G-d’s name. When a Jew performs a mitzva (commandment) with devotion, and with pure intent, he is sanctifying G-d’s name. When a Jew behaves in such a manner that only good things are heard about him, that too is a sanctification of G-d’s name. However, the opposite is also true. (Rambam)
