Bible verses about "adornment" | Haweis

¹ LIKEWISE, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, even if some obey not the word, by their wives' conduct without the word, they may be won over; ² being eye-witnesses of your chaste behaviour with timidity. ³ Whose adorning let it not be that exterior one of braided locks, and golden trimmings, and dresses put on with nicety; ⁴ but let it be the hidden man of the heart, with that incorruptible ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God highly valuable. ⁵ For so in times of old the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands; ⁶ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye are, if ye do well, and are not affrighted with any terror.

²⁵ For this cause I tell you, Be not anxious about your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life of more value than meat, and the body than raiment? ²⁶ Look on the birds of the air: for they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are you not of more value than they? ²⁷ But which of you, by his cares, can add one cubit to his stature? ²⁸ And why are ye anxious about clothing? Contemplate the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, nor spin: ²⁹ yet I tell you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. ³⁰ If God then so clothe a vegetable of the field, which to-day is, [in beauty], and tomorrow is cast into the furnace, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? ³¹ Wherefore be under no anxiety, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed? ³² (for after all these things the heathen seek:) and your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of them all. ³³ But seek ye, in the first place, the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be given you over.

¹⁹ Do ye not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not your own? ²⁰ For ye have been bought with a price: glorify then God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

⁹ in like manner also that the women dress themselves in decent apparel, with modesty and sobriety; not with plaited tresses, or gold, or pearls, or very costly clothing, ¹⁰ but as becometh women professing godliness, with good works.

³ Whose adorning let it not be that exterior one of braided locks, and golden trimmings, and dresses put on with nicety; ⁴ but let it be the hidden man of the heart, with that incorruptible ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God highly valuable.
