Bible idioms and the NT jewelry scriptures

[OilCityCajun]

I think it sounds great. But, when you realize the first part specifies a type of clothing which is immodest in that it is costly and draws undue attention to the wearer, while the second part speaks of the opposite attitude it doesnt hold up. "Don't only dress proud and loud with the intent to impress, but also have a meek spirit?" Sorry. I aint buying it.

1 Tim 2:9

9 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;
KJV


I do think the whole things hinges on what this scripture is saying for there's no OT law to guide or any other NT scripture that supports the anti-jewelry stance.

Anyone else have any input on what oilcitycanjun points out??
