in that which is not corruptible: God’s women wear incorruptible apparel! The word (aphthartos) means "uncorrupted, not liable to corruption or decay, imperishable" (Thayer 88-2-862) (1 Peter 1:4; 1 Peter 1:23). This is the kind of dress that makes a Christian woman! This is the apparel that will ever be in fashion--it will never fade. It is the apparel of a sterling and pure character that the apostle describes.
