Our Appearance

But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or height, for I have rejected him; the LORD does not see as man does. For man sees the outward appearance, but the LORD sees the heart.”

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair or gold jewelry or fine clothes,

…but from the inner disposition of your heart, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.

Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

You must not make any cuts in your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.

For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,

A woman must not wear men’s clothing, and a man must not wear women’s clothing, for whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD your God.

I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well.
