베드로전서 3:2-5 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 3:3-4

That attention to dress and personal decoration is natural to woman, is obvious from an observation of the customs of every nation in every age. The Apostle Peter must not be understood as in this place censuring such attention, but as pointing out that there is apparel, that there is ornament, far preferable to any bodily costume and jewelry that taste can devise and wealth can purchase. Christian women of every position in life are exhorted to provide themselves with these precious and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 3:4

But let it be the hidden man of the heart . The "hidden" is here equivalent to the "inward man" of Romans 7:22 ; 2 Corinthians 4:16 ; Ephesians 3:16 . It is that life which is "hid with Christ in God" ( Colossians 3:2 ), the life of Christ ("the Second Man") in the heart, fashioning that heart after the likeness of Christ, forming in it "the new man which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him" ( Colossians 3:10 ). This is hidden; it does not display itself... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Peter 3:5

For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God; rather, who hoped in God ( εἰς θεόν ); whose hope was set toward God and rested in God. Bengel says," Vera sanctitas, spes in Deum." St. Peter is the apostle of hope. Adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands. The apostle bids Christian women to consider the example of the saintly women of the Old Testament. With their hope resting upon God, they could not care for finery and costly... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 3:2

While they behold your chaste conversation - Your pure conduct. The word chaste here (ἁγνὴν hagnēn) refer’s to purity of conduct in all respects, and not merely to chastity properly so called. It includes that, but it also embraces much more. The conduct of the wife is to be in all respects pure; and this is to be the grand instrumentality in the conversion of her husband. A wife may be strictly chaste, and yet there may be many other things in her conduct and temper which would mar the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 3:3

Whose adorning - Whose ornament. The apostle refers here to a propensity which exists in the heart of woman to seek that which would be esteemed ornamental, or that which will appear well in the sight of others, and commend us to them. The desire of this is laid deep in human nature and therefore, when properly regulated is not wrong. The only question is, what is the true and appropriate ornament? What should be primarily sought as the right kind of adorning? The apostle does not condemn true... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 3:4

But let it be the hidden man of the heart - This expression is substantially the same as that of Paul in Romans 7:22, “the inward man.” See the notes at that place. The word “hidden” here means that which is concealed; that which is not made apparent by the dress, or by ornament. It lies within, pertaining to the affections of the soul.In that which is not corruptible - Properly, “in the incorruptible ornament of a meek and quiet spirit.” This is said to be incorruptible in contradistinction to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 3:5

For after this manner, in the old time - The allusion here is particularly to the times of the patriarchs, and the object of the apostle is to state another reason why they should seek that kind of ornament which he had been commending. The reason is, that this characterized the pious and honored females of ancient times - those females who had been most commended of God, and who were most worthy to be remembered on earth.Who trusted in God - Greek, “Who hoped in God;” that is, who were truly... read more

1 Peter 3:1-2. Likewise As I have exhorted servants to be in subjection to their masters, I in like manner say, Ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands In all things just and lawful; that if any (he speaks tenderly) obey not the word Disbelieve and reject the gospel; they also may, without the word Though they neglect or reject that means of grace; be won by the conversation The good behaviour of the wives That is, be gained over to Christ. “Here St. Peter wisely... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Peter 3:3-4

1 Peter 3:3-4. Whose adorning, &c, See note on 1 Timothy 2:9; Titus 2:3. “Three things are here expressly forbidden: curling the hair, wearing gold, (by way of ornament,) and putting on costly or gay apparel. These, therefore, ought never to be allowed, much less defended, by Christians.” Wesley. But let it be the hidden man of the heart An inward, gracious disposition, or complete inward holiness, namely, that which is not corruptible Which will not wear out and decay, as... read more

1 Peter 3:5-6. For after this manner Namely, with inward holiness and outward plainness; in old time In the patriarchal ages; the holy women who trusted in God And therefore did not act thus from servile fear, but from true piety, and are consequently worthy to be imitated; adorned themselves Their adorning, according to St. Peter here, was, 1st, Their meek subjection to their husbands; 2d, Their quiet spirit, not afraid or amazed; and, 3d, Their unblameable behaviour, doing all... read more
