Women Apparel: Dress Holy, Not Sexy & Provocative!

Women adorning themselves in Holiness. Not with gold, pearls, or costly array. (I Timothy 2:9)

I Timothy 2:9 (KJV): In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

Jewelry was taken away from women and never returned. (Isaiah 3:16 -23)

Isaiah 3:16 -23 (KJV):

16. Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

17. Therefore the LORD will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.

18. In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,

19. The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

20. The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,

21. The rings, and nose jewels,

22. The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,

23. The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

Not wearing make-up. (I Timothy 2:9; Jeremiah 4:30)

I Timothy 2:9 (KJV): In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

Jeremiah 4:30 (KJV): And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.

Not dying or coloring of the hair. (Matthew 5:36)

Matthew 5:36 (KJV): Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

Not wearing weave or hair pieces. (Psalm 119:128)

Psalm 119:128 (KJV): Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.
