So much for your "bump"!!
Sorry Charlie, try again!

1Pe 3:2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
1Pe 3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
1Pe 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
Its funny to me now after years of thinking I knew the word to find out that what I preached was false. To the point that I was just like RDP. So I know I cannot change his mind on this but for those of you with a searching heart, one that will love your brother regardless of his standards or lack there of, I offer this up.
I Peter 3:2 While the world sees your good conduct coupled with fear.
3:3 Whose outward decoration is not based on the putting on of elaborate clothing like elaborated braiding of the hair, and wearing much gold and costly array.
3:3 But is instead comes from the hidden man of the heart, Those things that are not corruptible like a meek and quiet spirit, which is great in the sight of God.
Read it as you see fit. Jewelery has never been a sin the outlandish putting on of costly array and the attitude from which it stemms from is where the sin is.
