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.”

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

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.

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

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

…you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.

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,

For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.

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

But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, “Why did You make me like this?”
