Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
 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. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husband. 1 Peter 3; 1-5.
Here, the Spirit of God made reference to holy women in the old time as our typical example to dress and to please God, if we are truly the bride waiting for the bridegroom and not fleeting around with another man (world). James 4;4.
Here, it speaks of holy dressing and presentation in contrast to worldly dressing and appearance.
This passage of the scriptures revealed the holy women of old habiliment in their holy manner, not the supposed saints dressing in fashionable and worldly styles. It shows that the pursuits, interests and desires of the holy women of old were not on the outward adorning ( it is not speaking of non-presentation or non- desirable as of neatness) but that their godliness and physical appearances was so holily, un-blamable and unspotted with the world – pure religion and undefiled before God the Father is to keep ourselves un-spotted (untarnished, unsullied and stainless) from the way the world does things. James 1; 27.
 The purpose of our salvation is for total transformation and sanctification of the body, soul and spirit.
The changes wrought by Christ through the spirit of God begin from within. Both inner and outward cleanliness, sanctification and presentation are very important to God as the Lord has given himself to the church that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
The degree of our inner cleansing and brokenness is reflected in the appearance and the presentation of the personality outside, beauty is deceitful and favor is vain, but the woman that fear God shall be praised. Proverbs 31:30.
Though appearance can be deceptive at times, for man looks outside, but the Lord looks inside the heart.
Yet, the degree of inner cleansing and brokenness reveals the extent and testifies to your manifest crucified life. Christ said when the inside is clean, the outside shall be cleansed as well.
 
Faith once delivered and lived out by the saints of old, which was commended and approved by God is our perfect example to emulate if we are to please and be acceptable to God.
We must contend for this kind of Christian dressing code expected from us coupled with the fear of God.
The grace of God must not be turned to lasciviousness (given to or expressing lusts; consciously or unconsciously exciting sexual desires in others) otherwise we are living an ungodly life and are doomed for condemnation and destruction. Jude 3-4.
 Love seeks not her own…. our dressing or clothing cannot be a stumbling blocks and occasion of sinning to others and perceived that all is well with God. What must not be should not be…Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel. 1 Peter 3; 3.
 
Likewise in 1 Timothy chapter 2 verse 9, he made mention of the same…In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel (such clothing that glorify God in your body and not that which reveals your sexual hotness, curves, shapes, underwear as pants and braziers type or color to cause the weak heart to lusts and the people of the world to appreciate) with shamefacedness (such clothing that reveals your crucifixion with Christ and not glorying in the world) and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly arrays (exaggerated expensive clothing, while many souls are languishing in wants and needs in Zion and in the world); but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.
 
In Genesis 35: 1-5, before the incident of the golden calf, God instructed patriarch Jacob on the dressing code for the women professing godliness women (for he had up to four wives with him).
 They are to put away the strange gods that were among them or in their lives and be clean physically and naturally be themselves, as natural as they were born and made in the image and glory of God, even in the simplicity which is in Christ Jesus – For the grace of God that brings salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Titus 2; 11-14.
 
Their clothes must be changed while approaching God to fellowship or worship. Total changed in heart (Joel 2;13) brings, render and tender the heart to total transformation and conformity and trembling to the word (thus we learn that not all types of clothes are acceptable to worship in the house and presence of God (such clothing that exposed the layer or upper part of the breast and chest at the top level, such skirts that exposed the thighs and laps when sitting down in the church. Think about all those indecent clothing not becoming women professing godliness, but worldliness) such top that reveals the abdomen and made impossible to tuck in, not covering the waist appropriately, not portraying you as godly, but sexy, worldly and fashionable.
 
They all (Jacob’s women) in response gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hands (bangles, necklaces and wrist chains) and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by She- chem. Genesis 35; 1-4. 
In a nutshell, there is a need for changed clothes as you draw near to worship. Not every cloth is acceptable and suitable for the presence of God.
Every strange clothes and clothing on the sons and daughters of Zion shall be punished on the last days.
Such that reveals their sexuality, seduced and stirred up the lust of the flesh in the weak in heart, causing offences or making the un-circumcised in heart to lust and sin. Thus, consciously or unconsciously becoming a stumbling block and occasion to fall to others…God is coming to judge you for all your strange clothing in your wardrobes you are putting on! Zephaniah 1; 7-8.

You are of your father the devil, the lusts of your father you will fulfilled…The argument is this, if you are not a daughter of Jezebel; possessed or controlled by her demons, why are you painting your lips, fingers and face with red and other colors; presenting yourself in the resemblances like her! 2 kings 9; 30.
 
If the perfect creator (God) wants you to have earrings on you, I supposed he ought to have made hole on both side of your ears when you were born – God made man, but man has made many inventions!
I pray God to open your eyes to the spiritual realities of extra hair attachments on your head as you ignorantly open the door for the evil spirits into your life through them; including the wigs and such hair doing like Bob Marley which has given right to another master (demons) to lay claims on you!
 
The beauty of the great price is of a great reward in the sight of God. Such spiritual beauty is manifested in your natural presentation from the light of God’s word, though the worldly and carnal believers would mock and despise and persecute you by it – thought of as been in a certain bondage by the un-crucified broad way and wide gate Christians, yet, it is of a great price in God’s sight! This is not traditions of man as many worldly believers are claiming.
It is the biblical code or manner of dressing for the redeemed under the blood bought covenant that are crucified to the world and the world to them, for no fair show whatever in the flesh.
The Spirit of God through his holy Apostle is not writing this to the women of that age alone, but to the believers of all ages. The word of God is for all ages, nations and people, settled forever in heaven.
It is required and applicable for all and sundry.
If the holy women of old time (your spiritual ancestors) pleased and were acceptable to God in such manner of adornment, it should be for your learning and living that you may appear before the Lord without distraction – using the world, but not abusing it, for the fashion of this world passes away. 1 Corinthians 7; 31.
Believers are said to be delivered from this present evil world (Galatians 1;4) Many are blinded and arguing blindly that they are not and should not be in bondage by not using their earrings, necklaces, two or three rings on their fingers (aside from wedding ring) mascaras on their faces, piercing nose and tongues – Moreover the Lord said, because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet; therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts. In that day, the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon.  The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers. The bonnets and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings. The rings, and the nose jewels. The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins…Isaiah 3; 16-26.
The manifestation of spiritual gifts is never the ground of a place in heaven. Matthew 7; 21-23.
The word must be lived out through the quickening power of the Spirit. The Word and the Spirit is one.
The Spirit cannot override nor contradict the word and it shall not strive with man that refused to tremble to it.  Isaiah 66; 1-2. You must live by every word of God and the simplicity in Christ Jesus.
Don’t think and assumed that all shall be well as long you’re speak in tongues, see visions or revelations, work miracles and prophesying – remember that the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.
Presentation of our body at the altar of non – conformity to the world as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God is our submission to the perfect will of God; even as Jesus did, that he might sanctified us with his own blood, suffered without the gate (outside the city).
The writer of Hebrews epistle then enjoined us to come to or go after Christ without any mark or trace of the world in us, bearing the reproach of Christ – Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come. Hebrews 13; 12-14.
The reproach of Christ is the believer’s freedom and total hatred for the love of the world in the lusts of the eyes, lusts of the flesh and the pride of life. It is seen in those who are living in the two-fold crucified life to the world and self. Galatians 6;14.
If we are not crucified to the self, we can’t be crucified to the world. If we are not totally crucified with Christ, we cannot be crucified to self. It is our total crucifixion with Christ and self, which brings about the deadness to the attractiveness and the appellation of the fancies of the world in exchange for the wondrous attraction of the cross for a crucified life and for testimony or attestation from the people of the world that we are with Christ. Galatians 2; 20.
The authority and the demands of God’s word, his expectations of our obedience and submission to them in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation has not abated nor changed.
The word of God cannot be altered nor diminished for any culture or mentality. It cannot be changed for a nation, people or century.
 
Those that are saved from different culture, nations and mentality are expected to live out the word, (irrespective of the century they are living) shinning as light in the world, contrary to what they were once been in the world – this is the new creature! From the heart comes the issues of life…. total brokenness and death from within is reflected by the non- conformity to the standards, usages, practices, mentality, ways, doings, presentations, physical appearances, reasoning’s and living of the uncircumcised in heart – whose mind is blinded, having the understanding darkened…aliens from the life of God….
 
Do you really understand such word as keep yourself UNSPOTTED FROM THE WORLD as a mark of an approved religious life before God? Are they seeing you as one of them or as a different person, transformed by the power of the word and spirit’s quickening? James 1;27. 1 John 2;15-17.
The Word and the Spirit is one. The Spirit cannot override nor contradict the word and it shall not strive with man.
If any man will keep his commandment he shall know and understand these doctrines in the new creatures, the beloved of his God, clothed with meekness and quietness in the glory of the eternal-unchanging word as of the glory of the Only begotten of God, full of grace and truth.
 Change your wardrobes and clothing, woman must not wear what belongs to man and man shall not wear what belongs to woman, for they that do such things are abomination unto God. Deuteronomy 22; 5.
 Do not think that Christ shall judge you, but you have one that shall judge you, even the word you let fall to the ground shall stand against you in the day of judgement against you. John 12:47-50.
Such is the sin (WORLDLINESS) awaiting you at the judgement seat, by then it shall be too late to repent of it. 1 Timothy 5;24.
Forget about the custom from Scotland or any other places where men are wearing skirt and women are wearing trousers.
Start living now by every word of God and applying spiritual custom and practices into your life for sanctification of the body, soul and spirit.
