Re: Isaiah 3 and jewelry...
What gets me is that someone wanting to preach against something that is not prohibited by God will take teaching of a completly differant subject and find one word "not" and "gold" and preach against jewlery.
1Pe 3:1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 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.
1Pe 3:5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
Wives if your husband is not one that obeys the word he can still be won to God by your actions without saying a word to him.
How can this be? When he sees the life you live for God before him.
Because your actions and charicture and attitude is is derived from the hidden spirit of God that comes from a heart that is in relationship to him. And does not come from adorning oneself with costly apparel, and intricate braiding and plaiting of the hair and many other things women do to make themselves more attractive.
Just as women of old that trusted God instead what they could do themselves by being in subjection to their own husbands.
