'Peter affirms the distinct biblical understanding of God's design in marriage.'

My brief comments:

Gore explains that biblically a wife should prioritize inner beauty over outer beauty, although both have importance. A husband should seek out the help in partnership (Genesis 1:26-27, as example), of such a wife.

Biblically, Christians are to always obey God, and as well, also the State where it maintains law and order. For Gore, the Church is to redeem, while the State is to restrain within law and order. The Church is to obey the State, in the context of law and order, but is not to obey the State where any laws or rules, forbid Gospel commands being followed by those within the Church.

Only the regenerate (John 3, Titus 3, 1 Peter 1) by grace through faith alone, not by human works, embrace the gospel work. (See Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, Hebrews as examples)
