1 Peter 3:4 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Peter 3:4

2 ^awhen they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.

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.
