Bible verses about "adornment" | Murdock

¹ So also ye wives, be ye subject to your husbands; that, by your pleasing behavior, ye may gain over, without difficulty, those who obey not the word, ² when they see, that ye conduct yourselves with reverence and chastity. ³ And adorn not yourselves with the external ornaments of curls of the hair, or of golden trinkets, or of costly garments. ⁴ But adorn yourselves in the hidden person of the heart, with a mild and uncorrupted spirit, an ornament that is precious before God. ⁵ For so also the holy women of old, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, and were subject to their husbands: ⁶ just as Sarah was subject to Abraham, and called him, My lord: whose daughters ye are, by good works, while ye are not terrified by any fear.

²⁵ Therefore I say to you: Be not anxious about your life, what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink; nor about your body, how ye shall clothe yourselves. Is not the life more important than food, and the body than raiment? ²⁶ Look at the birds of heaven; which sow not, and reap not, and gather not into storehouses, but your Father who is in heaven feedeth them. Are not ye more important than they? ²⁷ And who of you that shall be anxious, can add to his stature a cubit? ²⁸ And about raiment, why are ye anxious? Consider the lilies of the desert, in what manner they grow. They toil not; and they spin not. ²⁹ Yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory, was arrayed like one of them. ³⁰ And if God so clothe the grass of the field, which exists to-day, and tomorrow falls into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, ye small in faith? ³¹ Therefore be not anxious; nor say, What shall we eat, or what shall we drink; or wherewith be clothed? ³² For, all these things the people of the world seek after. And your Father, who is in heaven, knoweth that all these things are needful to you. ³³ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness: and all these things shall be added to you.

¹⁹ Or know ye not, that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who abideth in you, whom ye have received from God? And ye are not your own. ²⁰ For ye are bought with a price. Therefore, glorify ye God, with your body, and with your spirit, which are God's.

⁹ So also, that women appear in a chaste fashion of dress; and that their adorning be with modesty and chastity; not with curls, or with gold, or with pearls, or with splendid robes; ¹⁰ but with good works, as becometh women who profess reverence for God.

³ And adorn not yourselves with the external ornaments of curls of the hair, or of golden trinkets, or of costly garments. ⁴ But adorn yourselves in the hidden person of the heart, with a mild and uncorrupted spirit, an ornament that is precious before God.
