“For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:”
For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands — the appeal to exemplars ('holy women of old') establishes that feminine virtue and hope in God (elpis eis theon) are ancient patterns. The submission of these women to husbands is presented as the outward expression of their piety.
