Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
Sara - an example of faith.
Calling him lord - (Genesis 18:12.)
Ye are, х egeneetheete (G1096)] - 'ye have become:' "children" of Abraham and Sara by faith, whereas ye were Gentile aliens from the covenant.
Afraid with any amazement, х ptoeesin (G4423)] - 'fluttering alarm.' Act well, and be not thrown into panic, as weak females are apt to be, by opposition from without. Bengel, 'Not afraid OF any fluttering terror from without' (1 Peter 3:13-16). Septuagint х ptoeesin (H4423)] (Proverbs 3:25) was probably in Peter's mind. Anger assails men; fear, women. You need fear no man in doing right: not thrown into fluttering agitation by any sudden outbreak of an unbelieving husband's temper, while you do well.
