1 Peter 3:3-4King James Version (KJV)
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;
4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
What is hidden beyond the hair, jewlery and Clothes we put on. After all these are removed, what else do we have to offer. Verse 4 says your adorning/beauty should be the hidden man of the heart. That person you are beyond all the make up, how do you treat your partner, are you respectful, submissive. The ornament of a meek and quiet spirit that is what should be glowing in us beyond all the apparels. Such that even with the clothes, jewlery and every other thing, we should be conscious that the adorning of our spirit is the most important.
Train, teach and beautify yourself with these. Beauty without character would soon fade.
Bible says beauty is vain, charm is deceptive, but a woman who fears The Lord shall be praised. If you fear God, he beautifies your life internally beyond all the external fittings. If you fear God, you would want to please him and do as he says.
I pray God to give you more understanding on these matter. When your partner begins to see the internal beauty of that quiet and meek spirit in you, you would easily win him over. The Word of God gives us wisdom.
Let the Word transform, renew and bring out that hidden beauty in you, which in the sight of God is of great price.
In Simple English....
1 Peter 3:3-4English Standard Version (ESV)
3 Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— 4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.
Which in God sight is very precious.....
Meaning those things , shouldn't be what you should be so concerned about your beauty. Work on your inner beauty, to give glory to God.
When you do this, It makes submission easier....
Remain blessed...
