Bible Verses About Clothing And Modesty
The Importance of Modesty
As followers of Christ, we find that modesty is essential in how we present ourselves to the world. Modesty is not just about covering our bodies, but also about expressing our identity in Christ. It reflects our understanding that our worth is not determined by physical appearance or clothing. Instead, we are reminded that our character and actions hold far more value.

In this way, we inspire those around us to recognize their own worth and find confidence in Christ.
