Bible verses about "adornment" | Noyes

1 Peter 3:1-6

1 In like manner, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, that even if any obey not the word, they may without the word be won by the behavior of the wives, 2 when they behold your chaste behavior coupled with fear. 3 Whose adorning, let it not be the out yard adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing golden ornaments, or of putting on apparel; 4 but the hidden man of the heart, in that which is imperishable, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 5 For in this manner in the old time 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 daughters ye have become, if ye do well, and fear no alarm.

Matthew 6:25-33

25 Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the birds of the air, that they sow not, nor reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much greater value than they? 27 But who of you by anxious thought can add to his life one cubit? 28 And why are ye anxious about raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin; 29 and yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these. 30 And if God so clothes the herbage of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, will he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Therefore be not anxious, saying, What shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we he clothed? 32 For after all these things do the gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will also be given you.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

19 Know ye not, that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God, and that ye are not your own? 20 For ye were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.

1 Timothy 2:9-10

9 In like manner also, that women, in seemly attire, adorn themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with braided hair, and gold, or pearls, or costly apparel; 10 but, as becometh women professing godliness, with good works.

1 Peter 3:3-4

3 Whose adorning, let it not be the out yard adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing golden ornaments, or of putting on apparel; 4 but the hidden man of the heart, in that which is imperishable, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
