1Peter 3:3-4 Don't be concerned about the outward beauty that depends on fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. 4 You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.
[New Living Translation Version]
1Tim. 2:9 that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,
[New King James Version]
There are three things that we can do when we receive a text, an idea or a peace of Advertising. One: Passively accept whatever is being said. Two: Just accept it in the context according to its cultural background or because it bring us back some memories. Tree: Challenge it, compare it, question it, put it on trial and conclude our own definite meanings for it.
Hopefully someday we could come to be able to skillfully read between the many lies that invade us. See how these Bible version 'The Message' say it:
2Cor. 10:4-5 The tools of our trade aren't for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. 5 We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ.
1Thess. 2:3-5 3-4 God tested us thoroughly to make sure we were qualified to be trusted with this Message. Be assured that when we speak to you we're not after crowd approval — only God approval. Since we've been put through that battery of tests, you're guaranteed that both we and the Message are free of error, mixed motives, or hidden agendas. 5 We never used words to butter you up. No one knows that better than you. And God knows we never used words as a smoke screen to take advantage of you. [The Message Version]
