Peter not only told the early Christian wives what they should not wear, but stressed that they were to be adorned with "a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price." 1 Peter 3:44But 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. (1 Peter 3:4). It is sad to meet Christian women who heed the dress aspect of this exhortation without giving due emphasis to the positive part of it. It is not enough to be moderately dressed. Is it by dress alone that the Christian wife is known in the neighborhood to be a Christian? In the home do the husband and children recognize this spirit? How about in the assembly? The dress and deportment may be suitable to the Christian testimony, but is there the practical manifestation of that which in the sight of God is of great price? The woman of Prov. 31 spoke with wisdom and kindness (verse 26). Perhaps she was able to do this because she was adorned with a meek and quiet spirit.
