Matthew 6:25,28-29 |
Jesus Christ Teaches Naturism as an Antidote to Materialism |
|
New International Version
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or
drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more
important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field
grow. They do not labor or spin.
29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
New King James Version
25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you
will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life
more than food and the body more than clothing?
28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;
29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

1 Timothy 2:9-10 |
Christian women who desire true modesty.
When St. Paul does recommend modesty, he asks that Christian women adorn themselves in "seemly apparel."
However St. Paul's definition of "seemly apparel" is not cloth but rather "good
deeds, as befits women who profess religion." |
|
New International Version
9 I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and
propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
10but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
New King James Version
9 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in
modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,
10 but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.

1 Peter 3:3-4 |
Christian Women That Modesty is Not Clothing,
but an Attitude - KJV |
|
New International Version
3 Your beauty should
not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.
4 Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading
beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
New King James Version
3 Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair,
wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—
4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty
of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.
