1Pe 3:3. Ὡν ἔστω, whose let it be) A graphic painting of the inward character by the outward gestures.[24] Women themselves are thus to resolve: we claim for ourselves, we regard as our own, not outward ornament, but the inner man, etc.-οὐχ ὁ-κόσμος, not-adorning) Although they use such adorning, as the occasion permits, yet they do not consider it as adorning.-ἐμπλοκῆς· περιθέσεως· ἐνσύσεως, of plaiting; of wearing; of putting on) The verbals imply the labour bestowed on dress, which consumes much time.
