1 Peter 3:3
Whose adorning, let it not be that outward [adorning]. While
urging those pure and holy lives which will sweetly preach Christ,
Peter cannot pass by a foible often seen in the sex. There is a better
adorning than that of the body.
Of plaiting the hair. See notes on 1 Timothy 2:9. Compare
Psalms 45:13. The allusion is to wearing ornaments of gold or silver
over the hair, a common adornment of the time.
Or of wearing of gold. For the extravagant dress of Roman women
of the time, see Farrar's "Early Years of Christianity", p. 5.
