Video Script —
Peter says that husbands—especially unbelieving ones—will notice their wives’ “pure conduct.” Purity here means moral integrity. It means faithfulness, honesty, and consistency. It means living in such a way that Christ is visible in the everyday rhythms of life.
A wife’s purity is not a performance. It is the overflow of her devotion to Christ.
