Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Peter 3:5

_ _ after this manner — with the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit (compare the portrait of the godly wife, Proverbs 31:10-31).

_ _ trustedGreek, “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].

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

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Peter 3:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Peter 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."

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Peter 3:5

(4) For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:

(4) An argument taken from the example of women, and especially of Sarah, who was the mother of all believers.
