In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. | 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. |

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. | Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret. |
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. | Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. |

Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith. |

But go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” |
