Background on Eusebius of Emesa

In his own words on 1 Peter

  • 1 Peter 3:5

    Outward beauty is not the real thing but rather something quite superfluous. A woman's proper beauty is obedience to her husband. The truth of this statement is made manifest by the examples of the holy women of the past, like Sarah.
