Holy Beauty

In addressing Christian women, Peter takes up the topic of female beauty. He turns their attention away from externals, and points out the true beauty -- the hidden person of the heart. With a quiet and gentle spirit, a woman is truly precious in God's sight. Such a beauty is not passive, but an active quality. It involves chaste & respectful behavior, an ability to control her tongue, and a cheerful submission to her own husband. This is the law of liberty -- the pathway to true freedom in Christ.
