³ Do not adorn yourselves outwardly by braiding your hair and by wearing gold ornaments or fine clothing;^{(A) 4} rather, let your adornment be the inner self with the lasting beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God’s sight.^{(B) 5} It was in this way long ago that the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves by being subject to their husbands.

⁹ also that the women should dress themselves in moderate clothing with reverence and self-control, not with their hair braided or with gold, pearls, or expensive clothes, ¹⁰ but with good works, as is proper for women who profess reverence for God.

¹⁸ On that day the Lord will take away the finery of the anklets, the headbands, and the crescents;^{(B) 19} the pendants, the bracelets, and the scarfs; ²⁰ the headdresses, the armlets, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets;^{(C) 21} the signet rings and nose rings;^{(D) 22} the festal robes, the mantles, the cloaks, and the handbags; ²³ the garments of gauze, the linen garments, the turbans, and the veils.
