Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Robertson: 1Pe 3:5 - Adorned themselves

Adorned themselves ( ekosmoun heautas ).

Imperfect active of customary action, "used to adorn themselves."Kosmeō is old verb from kosmos in the sense in 1Pe 3:3. See Heb 11:11, Heb 11:35 for like tribute to holy women of the O.T. The participle hupotassomenai repeats 1Pe 3:1.

Vincent: 1Pe 3:5 - Adorned

Adorned ( ἐκόσμουν )

Imperfect tense. Were accustomed to adorn.

Wesley: 1Pe 3:5

The adorning of those holy women, who trusted in God, and therefore did not act thus from servile fear, was, Their meek subjection to their husbands: Their quiet spirit, "not afraid," or amazed: and Their unblamable behaviour, "doing" all things "well."

JFB: 1Pe 3:5 - after this manner

With the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit (compare the portrait of the godly wife, Pro. 31:10-31).

JFB: 1Pe 3:5 - trusted

Greek, "hoped." "Holy" is explained by "hoped in (so as to be 'united to,' Greek) God." Hope in God is the spring of true holiness [BENGEL].

JFB: 1Pe 3:5 - in subjection

Their ornament consisted in their subordination. Vanity was forbidden (1Pe 3:3) as being contrary to female subjection.

Clarke: 1Pe 3:5 - For after this manner

For after this manner - Simplicity reigned in primitive times; natural ornaments alone were then in use. Trade and commerce brought in luxuries; and luxury brought pride, and all the excessive nonsense of Dress. No female head ever looks so well as when adorned with its own hair alone. This is the ornament appointed by God. To cut it off or to cover it is an unnatural practice; and to exchange the hair which God has given for hair of some other color, is an insult to the Creator. How the delicacy of the female character can stoop to the use of false hair, and especially when it is considered that the chief part of this kind of hair was once the natural property of some ruffian soldier, who fell in battle by many a ghastly wound, is more than I can possibly comprehend. See the notes on 1Co 11:14-16 (note); and 1Ti 2:9 (note)

Clarke: 1Pe 3:5 - Who trusted in God

Who trusted in God - The women who trust Not in God are fond of dress and frippery; those who trust in God follow nature and common sense

Clarke: 1Pe 3:5 - Being in subjection unto their own husbands

Being in subjection unto their own husbands - It will rarely be found that women who are fond of dress, and extravagant in it, have any subjection to their husbands but what comes from mere necessity. Indeed, their dress, which they intend as an attractive to the eyes of others, is a sufficient proof that they have neither love nor respect for their own husbands. Let them who are concerned refute the charge.

Calvin: 1Pe 3:5 - NO PHRASE

He sets before them the example of pious women, who sought for spiritual adorning rather than outward meretricious ornaments. But he mentions Sarah above all others, who, having been the mother of all the faithful, is especially worthy of honor and imitation on the part of her sex. Moreover, he returns again to subjection, and confirms it by the example of Sarah, who, according to the words of Moses, called her husband Lord. (Gen 18:12.) God, indeed, does not regard such titles; and it may sometimes be, that one especially petulant and disobedient should use such a word with her tongue; but Peter means, that Sarah usually spoke thus, because she knew that a command had been given her by the Lord, to be subject to her husband. Peter adds, that they who imitated her fidelity would be her daughters, that is, reckoned among the faithful.

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: 1Pe 3:5 - Holy women // Who trusted in God // Adorned themselves

Holy women and therefore worthy of imitation.

Who trusted in God whose only hope was in God, and therefore their care to please him.

Adorned themselves viz. with a meek and quiet spirit, counting that the best ornament.

Gill: 1Pe 3:5 - For after this manner in the old time // the holy women also // who trusted in God // being in subjection unto their own husbands

For after this manner in the old time,.... In ages past, the years of many generations, since the time that God created man upon earth; in the times before the flood, and after it; in the times of the patriarchs, judges, kings, and prophets of Israel, under the Old Testament dispensation. The apostle exhorts and encourages to this inward dress and ornament, from the antiquity of it: for in this way, and after this fashion,

the holy women also: who were sanctified by the Spirit of God, and lived holy lives and conversations, such as Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Leah, Ruth, Hannah, and others:

who trusted in God; that he would send the Messiah, and make good all his promises, judging and believing him to be faithful to his word, and able to fulfil whatever he had promised, as Sarah, Heb 11:11. Such holy and believing women as these are worthy of imitation in their adorning and dress, and who, in the manner before described by the apostle, adorned themselves; or this was the adorning which they sought after, valued, and chiefly regarded; not what was external, but internal: and which lay in meekness and humility, and in a quiet deportment, and in

being in subjection unto their own husbands; according to their original make, and natural relation, and the laws of God, and of creation; which is more becoming and adorning than plaiting of hair, wearing of gold, or costly raiment, and recommends them more, both in the sight of God and men; nothing being a more indecent and uncomely sight than a woman not in subjection to her husband.
