Commentary

Commentary on 1 Peter 3:2

Theological / Devotional

While they behold. Literally, “while they look upon closely” (see ch. 2:12).

Chaste. Or, “pure” (see on 1 Tim. 5:22). The total life of the Christian wife is to be restrained in style and taste. She is to be known for decorous consistency in all things.

Conversation. See on v. 1.

With fear. Or, “in fear,” that is, holy fear of God (see 1 Peter 2:17, 18; see on Ps. 19:9). This verse may be translated: “Having closely observed your conduct, pure in the fear of God.”
