Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds

And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes. For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.

We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

So, then, let us pursue the things making for peace and the things that are upbuilding to one another.
