What 1 Tim.2:9 and
1 Peter 3:3 are really saying is that a woman's true beauty does not come from external adornment but what really makes her beautiful is her gentle and quiet spirit.
These verse are not prohibitions agains't wearing of gold or fine clothes or elaborate hairstyles on women as such,but these verses are saying that is not where a person's true beauty lies.
I feel though alot of people go overboard on the jewelry deal,but aren't alot of clothes worn to a general conference costly array ?
What about the dos the sisters wear in their hair ?
What many of these dos be considered plaited or broided ?
I believe holiness will manifest itself in modesty,and women should look like women and men should look like men,but we must read these verses in proper context.
Also according to what I read in
1 Peter 3:3 a unbelieving husband could be won to God through a believing wife because of her purity and reverence by having a gentle spirit.
If a women has hair touching the ground,and a dress that hits the floor and she is bossified,is she adorned with a meek and gentle spirit ?
