1 Peter 3:4

But let your adornment be nistar (hidden), adornment shebalev (inwardly) by the imperishable + 3:4 1:4 adorning of the quiet ruach anavah (humble spirit), which is before Hashem of great worth.

Orthodox Jewish Bible

In The King James Version

But 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.

In Context

3Do not let your adornment be outward, with coiffures and with wearing gold or fine apparel,

5For so formerly also the nashim hakedoshot (holy women) whose tikvah was in Hashem were adorning themselves, submitting themselves to their own ba'alim.
