No, I think holiness is a state God induces upon our hearts, and modesty is an expression of courtesy and concern for others, a symptom of more maturity, but not necessarily more holiness. |
In their most pure state they were blind to their nakedness. But as soon as they saw, they attempted to hide and cover up. So until you are in the same state they were in prior to the fall, and are totally blind to fleshly things, I would say that it is best to cover up.
And I do not think anyone has stated that the more holy you are, the more modest you get. But I do not believe a person can have Gods holiness, and not be modest in their lifestyle.
