This passage continues with the theme of what proper Christian conduct ought to look like, this time in relation to the conduct of wives and husbands in marriage. The ultimate goal of good Christian conduct is to have nonbelievers see this and turn to glorify God (2:12). vv. 1-2 These verses describe the appropriate Christian conduct of wives: to be subject to their husbands. This is an intentional action which should be done so that any non-believing husbands may see this and be prompted to turn to obedience to the gospel. This is consistent with the general theme of this section – godly conduct bearing witness to nonbelievers. vv. 4-6 Peter goes on to issue a further command to wives: that the focus of their adorning should not be external, but rather be based on their character (internal). The former seeks to bring glory to the self (physical attractiveness), whereas the latter pleases and brings glory to God. The motivation for this is given in vv.5-6. Christian wives are to look to the examples set by the holy women of the past as they go about adorning themselves. v.7 This final verse deals with the Christian conduct of husbands. They are to show honor to their wives because despite gender differences, both are heirs. If husbands do not honor their wives appropriately, they risk their prayers being hindered. The husband and wife each have their own roles to play in order to bear good witness to their faith.

1 Peter 3:1-7

NT

esv

Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands,

so that even if some do not obey the word,

they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives,

when they see your respectful and pure conduct.

Do not let your adorning be external--

the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear--

but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit,

which in God's sight is very precious.

negativepositive

For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves,

by submitting to their own husbands,

as Sarah obeyed Abraham,

calling him lord.

And you are her children,

Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way,

showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel,

since they are heirs with you of the grace of life,

so that your prayers may not be hindered.
