Bible Answer: Your adornment must not be merely external--braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; 1 Pet 3:3 (NASB) AMPLIFIED 1 Peter 3:3 Let not yours be the [merely] external adorning with [elaborate] interweaving and knotting of the hair, the wearing of jewelry, or changes of clothes; If this verse prohibited women from braiding the hair and wearing gold jewelry, then it would also prohibit them from putting on dresses. Please read the verse in 1 Peter 3. Also notice the use of the word "merely" in the verse. |
