ptoēsis
intimidation / terror
Summary
πτόησις ("intimidation, terror") in 1 Peter 3:6 instructs wives not to be frightened by any fear — best read as a warning against being intimidated by their husbands. Peter tells women to do what is right without living in fear of male reprisal, a strikingly counter-cultural directive that protects rather than subordinates.
Used in Verses
Wives are not to be intimidated; submission is chosen, not extracted by fear
