Study Note
'But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price' — Peter's teaching on feminine adornment elevates the interior character above external ornamentation (braided hair, gold, fine clothing) by appealing to divine valuation. The phrase 'hidden man of the heart' (ho kruptos tēs kardias anthrōpos) uses anthrōpos ('person') regardless of gender, suggesting that the inward self formed in relationship to God is the truest human identity for all believers. The 'incorruptible' nature of the gentle and quiet spirit contrasts with the perishability of external beauty (cf. 1 Peter 1:18), grounding the exhortation in eschatological permanence.
