1 Peter 2:18

2:18 Slaves, ¹  be subject ²  to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are perverse.

1 Peter 3:4

3:4 but the inner person ³  of the heart, the lasting beauty of a gentle and tranquil spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.

¹ tn The Greek term here is οἰκέτης (oiketh"), often used of a servant in a household (who would have been a slave).

² tn Grk “being subject,” but continuing the sense of command from vs. 13.

³ tn Grk “the hidden man.” KJV’s “the hidden man of the heart,” referring to a wife, could be seriously misunderstood by the modern English reader.
