1Timothy 2:9-10 "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel,
with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly
array; 10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works."
Le 18:17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter,
Modesty - what does it mean and what does the Bible say about it?
First let's deal with a heart principle that Jesus discussed in Mt 5:28,
"But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after
her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." Let's not
be blind to human nature! Yes man's sinful nature is attracted to
lustful things. True, it's wrong to lust, but it is just as wrong to dress
in such a way as to cause others to lust? That's why the apostle Paul
says "that women adorn themselves in modest apparel." Of course it's
not just the ladies that need to be modest. The men also need to be
very careful about what they wear.
Short's that are Too short, dresses that are too tight or too
short
Some young ladies (and men) will dress to look attractive, but
they fail to use Biblical discretion as to what is honoring to God.
Consider Proverbs 11:22, As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout,
so is a fair woman which is without discretion.
What should men and women see when they observe each
other? Should they see someone trying to tempt and lure others
or should they see "CHARACTER", godliness and clothing that
represents inner godliness? For the Christian, this answer should
be obvious!
Am I trying to be more like the world and less like Christ? You
need to have a heart and attitude change! * Read Romans 12:1

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall
not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
1John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and
the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father,
but is of the world.
When it comes to the clothing you wear, don't help someone
else feed his or her flesh! Be careful what you wear.
1John 2:10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and
there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make
not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
