Bible verses about "adornment" | Sawyer

^{1 (2:4)} In like manner let the women be subject to their husbands, that even if some disobey the word, they may be gained through the conduct of their wives without the word, ² seeing your pure mode of life in the fear [of God]. ³ Whose ornament let it not be the external [ornament] of braided hair and the putting on of chains of gold or of clothing, ⁴ but let the hidden man of the heart be adorned with the imperishable [ornaments] of a meek and quiet spirit, which are of great price before God. ⁵ For so formerly also the holy women who hoped in God adorned themselves, being subject to their husbands, ⁶ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord, whose children you are, doing good and having no fear.

²⁵ On this account I tell you, be not anxious for your soul, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, what you shall put on, is not the soul more than food, and the body more than clothing? ²⁶ Look at the birds of heaven; they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into store-houses; but your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they? ²⁷ Which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his stature? ²⁸ And why are you anxious concerning clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they perform no hard labor, neither do they spin; ²⁹ but I tell you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ³⁰ And if God so clothes the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, men of little faith? ³¹ Be not anxious, therefore, saying, What shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or with what shall we be clothed? ³² For after all these things the gentiles seek; and your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. ³³ But seek first righteousness and his kingdom, and all these things shall be added to you.

¹⁹ Know you not that your bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit in you which you have from God, and you are not your own? ²⁰ For you are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.

⁹ and in like manner also, that women in becoming apparel with modesty and sobriety adorn themselves, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly clothing, ¹⁰ but with good works, which become women professing godliness.

³ Whose ornament let it not be the external [ornament] of braided hair and the putting on of chains of gold or of clothing, ⁴ but let the hidden man of the heart be adorned with the imperishable [ornaments] of a meek and quiet spirit, which are of great price before God.
