NASB | 1 Peter 3:4 but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 3:4 but let it be [the inner beauty of] the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit, [one that is calm and self-controlled, not overanxious, but serene and spiritually mature] which is very precious in the sight of God. |
Subject: If God had a beauty contest |
Bible Note: The beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit "Do not let your adornment be merely outward — arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel — rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God." (1 Peter 3.3-4) 'If God had a beauty contest, these would be the areas in which He would award points: 1) The hidden person of the heart, and 2) Incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. These attributes according to Peter are "… very precious in the sight of God." The rest, i.e. the outward adorning, is of little consequence when compared to the inward grace that the Lord admires.' ____________________ http://studylight.org/col/tll/index.cgi |
