quiet
Hesuchios describes a settled quality seen in a life of dignity and in the hidden person of the heart.
The two occurrences show a settled quality applied both to the manner of life sought under authority and to the hidden person of the heart; the limited evidence does not require separate lexical senses.

In 1 Timothy 2:2, the accusative singular masculine form occurs in the purpose clause about leading a life “in all godliness and dignity”; the APB renders that life as “tranquil and quiet.” In 1 Peter 3:4, the genitive singular neuter form qualifies “spirit” within the hidden person of the heart; the APB renders the phrase “gentle and quiet spirit.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “quiet” in both verses, pairing it with “tranquil” for life in 1 Timothy 2:2 and with “gentle” for spirit in 1 Peter 3:4. These phrases show the verse-level presentation rather than a precise one-word mapping.
