1 Tim 2:9-10 ~ in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in

greater modesty

orderly
, well-arranged, decent; the well ordering is not of dress and demeanor only, but of the inner life …” VINESlide7

NKJVSlide10
1 Peter 3:3-4
Do not let your adornment be merely outward — arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel —
4 rather let it be
the hidden person of the
heart
, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is
very precious in the sight of God
. NKJVSlide11
Regulate yourself with a “heart for God.”
When you select what you wear, think of your motivation?
Does it reflect
an inner attitude that God finds precious?
Is this proper for professing godliness?
You will likely know the answer and what to do next. Slide12
