"You are servants of Christ. Act and dress like it."

Excerpt from BARBWIRE:

"The Apostle Paul told women in I Tim. 2:9, 

“In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array.” 

That passage teaches women to dress appropriately without any excesses that would attract unwarranted attention to them...

...that it is not good for Christian ladies to pay such attention to their hair as the heathen do... 

...All dress for both genders should be suitable for the place, time, and occasion... 

...that women should pay attention to themselves because neglect is just as wrong as the other extreme... 

...not be an offense to any class of people...

...He is not saying that the use of gold and silver is wrong, only the excessive use is wrong. 

He is saying, “... You are servants of Christ. Act and dress like it.”

In ancient Greece, the wife of Phocion, a illustrious Athenian general, had a visit from a rich lady who was elegantly adorned with gold and jewels, and her hair festooned with pearls. 

The visitor took occasion to call attention to the elegance and costliness of her dress but her host replied, 

“My ornament is my husband, now for the twentieth year general of the Athenians.” 

...She valued her longtime marriage more than gold, silver, and pearls; she did not feel a need to use gold and silver to establish her person, her prestige or her place in the world.

Both men and women should err on the side of caution. It is better to be too narrow than too broad. 

Women’s dress should be modest (not frumpy) and men should keep their eyes on her elbows–and their hands to themselves..."
