P. 29
apostle Peter says, “Whose adorning” — We
found that word in 1 Timothy — “Whose
adorning let it not be that outward adorning of
plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of
4
putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden
man of the heart, in that which is not
corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and
quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great
5
price. For after this manner in the old time the
holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned”
— there's that word again that we found in
Timothy; it means to beautify or decorate or to
dress — “adorned themselves, being in
subjection unto their own husbands.” So what
we find here is that modesty must begin in the
heart. Whether it be a male or female, it must
begin in the heart before it will be manifested in
our clothing. Can I get an Amen? I mean, that's
just a fact.
