[1 Peter 3:1-6] Peter has primarily unbelieving husbands in view (disobedient to the word 1 Pet 1:2, 14), The woman submitting to her unbelieving husband is working to give him observable proof of the power of the gospel that can lead him to victory over his sin. Women with a husband disobedient to the word are instructed to win those to the word without a word. The contentious woman is addressed in Proverbs multiple times (19:13, 27:15-16 constant dripping; 21:9, 19; 25:24 corner of roof or desert land is better) as the opposite of Peter's presciption of “chaste (pure) behavior with fear”-she acts with purity in all things with all other men because of her fear of the Lord. This wife's adornment (orderliness, harmonious arrangement; cosmetic) is not fundamentally external but rather the hidden person of the heart, a meek and quiet spirit.
