1 Peter 3:3

Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

'To whom let there belong (namely, as their ornament) not the outward adornment (usual in the sex which first, by the fall, brought in the need of covering: note, 1 Peter 5:5) of, etc., but,' etc.

Plaiting - artificial, to attract admiration.

Wearing, [ peritheseoos (G4025)] - 'putting round,' namely, the head, as a diadem: the arm, as a bracelet: the finger, as rings.

Apparel - showy and costly. 'Have the blush of modesty instead of paint, and moral worth and discretion instead of gold and emeralds' (Melissa).
