1 Peter 3:5 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Peter 3:5

3 ^aDo not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—

4 rather let it be ^athe hidden person of the heart, with the¹ incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

5 For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands,

6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, ^acalling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.

A Word to Husbands

7 ^aHusbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, ^bas to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, ^cthat your prayers may not be hindered.
