But then what is modest? What I consider modest someone else would disagree with. It's a fairly subjective term although I think that even unbelievers know the difference between immodesty and modesty.
True.

RevDWW,

Help me out on this - vanity is the main ingredient in coveting. I'm not sure I follow.

Yeah, Jesus was trifty, why pay for a tomb when you're only going to need it for three days? :lol

Vanity means emptiness, coveting is a longing to fill or gain.
Coveting is wanting what some else has because I don't have it and I think I deserve it. Filling ones life with the things of this world is vanity because it will all pass away, filling oneself with the things of His Kingdom in humble submission, is true wisdom, because of His Kingdom there shall be no end.

Does this make sense?

The prostitutes in the saloons of the 1880's dressed more modestly than the UPC women of today's world. Those harlots would consider the most modestly dressed UPC woman today to be immodest.

Modesty is subjective. What's modest to us isn't necessarily modest in the African jungle.
