For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God, also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
adorned themselves: The women of old who placed their trust in God were not so concerned with how they appeared outwardly, but they placed their concern on the inward beauty. Their genuine concern was in obeying the ordinances of God. (See Proverbs 31 and Hebrews 11:11; Hebrews 11:35.)
