Why is a gentle and quiet spirit “very precious” “in God’s sight”?
1 Peter 3:4 (ESV)
4but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.
Such a spirit in a fallen, sinful human being is the work and gift of God in the sinner’s heart, and so is precious to him. He himself is being imaged on earth through persons of such a heart.
