1 Peter 3
- 3
- Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the
wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. *
- 4
- Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle
and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
-
- The real emphasis of our beauty should be on the inner self. Do not go
overboard with the outer appearance but do keep yourself clean, healthy and attractive!!
- *Braided hair, wearing of gold and fine clothes were associated with a
particular lifestyle. Today's equivalent would be dressing like a
"hoochie"or wearing clothing and assessories associated with that lifestyle.
