Beauty

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand forever.

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

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.

But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
