Caroline, do you really think he is saying we shouldn’t wear fine clothing, or is Peter saying we shouldn’t depend upon finery for our beauty? Izzy

1 Peter 3:3

KJV: Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

 

NASB: Your adornment must not be merely external--braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses;

 

NIV: Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.

 

It seems to me that in this verse, the NIV translators have the best English rendition of what Peter meant.

 

Love

 

Caroline
