1 Peter 3:2

2 After all, they will have observed the reverent and holy manner of your lives.

1 Peter 3:2 Meaning and Commentary

1 Peter 3:2

While they behold your chaste conversation
Cheerful subjection, strong affection, and inviolable attachment to them, and strict regard to the honour of the marriage state, and to the preserving of the bed undefiled with lusts and adulteries:

coupled with fear;
with reverence of their husbands, giving them due honour, and showing all proper respect; or with the fear of God, which being before their eyes, and upon their hearts, engages them to such an agreeable conversation.

1 Peter 3:2 In-Context

1 Wives, likewise, submit to your own husbands. Do this so that even if some of them refuse to believe the word, they may be won without a word by their wives' way of life.

2 After all, they will have observed the reverent and holy manner of your lives.

3 Don't try to make yourselves beautiful on the outside, with stylish hair or by wearing gold jewelry or fine clothes.

4 Instead, make yourselves beautiful on the inside, in your hearts, with the enduring quality of a gentle, peaceful spirit. This type of beauty is very precious in God's eyes.

5 For it was in this way that holy women who trusted in God used to make themselves beautiful, accepting the authority of their own husbands.
