Be Mindful of GOD When You Adorn Yourself

"Do not let your adornment be merely outward — arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel — rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God" (1 Peter 3:3-4; NKJV).

Be mindful of GOD when you adorn yourself.

Verb – primarily "to arrange, to put in order" (Eng., "cosmetic"), is used of one's person, 1 Tim 2:9; 1 Peter 3:5; Rev 21:2

Noun – "a harmonious arrangement or order,” decent, modest, 1 Tim 2:9; 3:2 (Vine’s Expository Dictionary of NT Words)

When you adorn yourself, “…let it be the hidden person of the heart…which is very precious in the sight of God" (1 Peter 3:4).
