What Does 1 Peter 3:6 Mean?
Peter names Sarah as the example, recalling her respect for Abraham. He then makes a generous turn: the believing women are her daughters, heirs of her faith.
The condition is doing good and refusing to be ruled by fear. Sarah's daughters are marked not by anxiety but by a settled courage that comes from trusting God. Peter links his readers to a matriarch of faith and frees them from being mastered by fear of what might happen. To do well and remain unafraid is to walk in Sarah's line, daughters of a woman who hoped in God.
