1 Peter 3:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 While they behold your pure conversation which is with fear:
3 (A)[a]Whose appareling let it not be that outward, with braided hair, and gold put about, or in putting on of apparel:
4 But let it be the [b]hidden man of the heart, which consisteth in the incorruption of a meek and quiet spirit, which is [c]before God a thing much set by.

- 1 Peter 3:3 He condemneth the riot and excess of women and setteth forth their true appareling such as is precious before God: to wit, the inward and incorruptible which consisteth in a meek and quiet spirit.
- 1 Peter 3:4 Who hath his seat fastened in the heart: so that the hid man is set against the outward decking of the body.
- 1 Peter 3:4 Precious indeed, and so taken of God.

1 Peter 3:2-4
New International Version
2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.(A) 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self,(B) the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.(C)
