Most English versions of 1 Pt. 3:3 translate kosmos as 'adornment' or 'adorning.'  On what basis do they do so?  I have read Kittel's article on the word, and done some additional research.  I believe that for almost every other occurrence of kosmos in the NT, it means 'world.'  How can they get 'adornment'  out of it in 1 Peter?
