Bible verses about "adornment" | MNT

¹ In the same way you wives must be submissive to your own husbands; so that if some of them will not believe the message, they may apart from the message be won over by the behavior of their wives, ² when they see how pure and reverent you are. ³ Your adornment ought not to be the outward adornment of plaited hair and golden jewels and the wearing of beautiful dresses; ⁴ but rather that hidden personality of the heart, the imperishable ornament of a quiet and gentle spirit, which in the sight of God is indeed precious. ⁵ For in this way in the olden time the holy women also, who put their trust in God, used to adorn themselves. They were ever in submission to their own husbands; ⁶ thus, for example, Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are daughters of Sarah, if you do what is right, and permit nothing to make you afraid.

²⁵ "For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, inquiring what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor yet for your body, inquiring what you shall wear. Is not your life more than its food, and your body than its clothing? ²⁶ "Behold! the birds in the sky! They neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them; and are not you worth more than they? ²⁷ "Which one of you by being anxious is able to add even one cubit to his stature? ²⁸ "Why be anxious then about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin. ²⁹ "But I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was robed like one of these. ³⁰ "If God then so clothes the grass of the field, which blooms today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, you of little faith? ³¹ "Then do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'" ³² "For all these are things that the Gentiles are eagerly seeking; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of them all. ³³ "But continue to seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

¹⁹ Do you not know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is within you, the Spirit whom you have from God? ²⁰ You are not your own; for you have been bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your bodies.

⁹ in like manner also the women. I desire women to clothe themselves in suitable apparel, adorning themselves with reverence and self-restraint; not with hair plaited with gold or pearls, or with expensive clothes, ¹⁰ but (as becomes women proclaiming godliness) with the ornament of good deeds.

³ Your adornment ought not to be the outward adornment of plaited hair and golden jewels and the wearing of beautiful dresses; ⁴ but rather that hidden personality of the heart, the imperishable ornament of a quiet and gentle spirit, which in the sight of God is indeed precious.
