A Teens Bible

1 Timothy 2:9-10

Today's verse: 1 Timothy 2:9-10

NIV: I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

NCV: Also, women should wear proper clothes that show respect and self-control, not using braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes. Instead, they should do good deeds, which is right for women who say they worship God.

Meaning: Ladies you NEED to dress appropriately, especially if your a child of God!! Your body is special and should be covered to respect yourself and others. If you have accepted God into your heart he now lives within you. Your body is like his house now. We all want our houses to look nice and reflect who lives within. If you don't dress appropriately you are negatively reflecting God. You need to dress modest and act modest to please him. Anyone can say they are a child of God but your actions and how you present yourself really show it! Don't be a hypocrite!

Take action: When shopping for clothes remind yourself of this verse. When you try on clothes or are deciding what to wear in the morning stop and think " would God like to be represented by this outfit?" If your unsure or the answer was no, change your clothes and move on. People will judge you by how you present yourself so always be cautious.
