Romans 13:14 - But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
I think it sets us apart, as followers of Jesus; to dress modestly. To let the Light of Jesus be what attracts others to us. A prospective husband is well able to be attracted your inner beauty first.
The four loves in the Bible:
* Storge - empathy bond.
* Philia - friend bond.
* Eros - romantic love.
* Agape - unconditional (God kind of love)
Other types of love:
* Philautia - Self-love.
* Pragma - Enduring Love.
* Ludus - Playful Love.
* Mania - Obsessive Love
Agapelove is the highest level of love referenced in the Bible. This form of love is everlasting and sacrificial, whether or not the giver receives the same level of love in return. In the original Greek translation of the Scriptural passage "God is love," the word agapewas specifically used to identify the type of love God embodies ( 1 John 4:8,
If you're the parent of the "girl" you should want to keep her safe. To dress a girl more modestly, not bringing attention to her feminine shape will help keep predatory behavior away from her. GOD likewise wants women protected, the scripture isn't to ruin fun, it's also about undue, unwanted attention. 1Timothy 2:9-10,
Hello, that is great you are seeking council of other believers. I would also pray about it- just put forth your requests to God and await any kind of confirmation or answer. I would also examine your heart and motives. Is it for comfort? For attraction? It's not wrong to look nice, but people can look nice without showing flesh. Lust is a sin and is not something we should encourage and there must be a boundary- even our evil world has legal boundaries for public decency so how much modesty should Jesus-followers have. Jessie listed a verse on modesty. I think muslims can take this way too far where you only see a woman's eyes and can't even recognize anyone, whereas some indigenous cultures people are partially or entirely naked. Culture plays a role, but I would not let culture dictate your actions, but instead scripture, prayer, and examining your heart. God bless.
Yes, it is wrong for women and young women to wear clothing that reveals too much skin. Woman are to honor God by their actions and dress.
Genesis 3:21, "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them."
The word, "coats," as mentioned in Genesis 3:21 comes from the Hebrew word from the Bible Concordance:
kthneth, keth-o'-neth; or kuttneth; from an unused root meaning to cover (compare H3802); a shirt:-coat, garment, robe.
H3802 comes from the Hebrew word kthph, kaw-thafe'; from an unused root meaning to clothe; the shoulder (proper, i.e. upper end of the arm; as being the spot where the garments hang); figuratively, side-piece or lateral projection of anything:-arm, corner, shoulder(-piece), side, undersetter.
1 Timothy 2:9-10 gives instruction on this. Women are to adorn (Dress) in moderate apparel, something that is orderly and acceptably decent. That word shamefacedness is an old English word representing the Greek word that has to do with orderly or Godly fear.
Something we don't have in our culture today is shamefacedness, people who are ashamed of the clothes that they wear out in public. It's the old "Everybody does it, who cares?" And you would think that they would be self-conscious, but they're not.
It goes on and talks about broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array. I think the whole point here is that women should not present themselves in church in a way that would cause distraction.
In 1 Timothy 2:10, Paul says that the conduct of the women are to be such as women who profess godliness that they belong to Christ. And the general teaching of scripture is, especially for a woman, is that Paul's very sensitive to the fact that women are more noticeable physically, and that Christ is seen in them, and there's nothing about them, the way they dress, or the way they act, that distracts from people seeing Christ instead of something else.
That's basically what it's all about. But some people have taken it to extremes in both ways. And you will see groups today that will draw attention to themselves because they try to legalistically follow this outline, rather than understanding the spiritual message behind it. What Paul is saying is let these people see Christ in you. Don't distract from that. This is not a fashion show when you go to church.
