"But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish in order that I may gain Christ...
...and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own, derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith...
...that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead."
- Philippians 3:7-11

- We should honor God with our clothing, hairstyle, jewelry, and make-up.
- God has commanded women to dress modestly.
- Modesty involves concealing body shape as well as skin.
- Clothing should draw attention primarily to the face, rather than to other parts of the body.
- Our appearance should be neat, decidedly feminine, and not unnecessarily draw attention to us.
- Our attire should be suitable for the tasks to which God has called us.
- We should not spend excessive time or money improving or maintaining our outward appearance.
- We should not unnecessarily alter the way God created us to look, by wearing excessive make-up, dying our hair, wearing platform shoes, etc.
- Our inward character should be more beautiful than our outward adornment.
- Christian women should examine Scriptural teaching about headcoverings to determine whether, when, and how God wants them to cover their heads.
- We should conduct ourselves in a gracious and modest way.
