30 Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting,  *

but a woman who fears the  Lord will be praised.

3 Don’t let your beauty consist of outward things like elaborate hairstyles and wearing gold jewelry or fine clothes,  *4 but rather what is inside the heart  *,*  — the imperishable quality of a gentle  * and quiet  * spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.

7 But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or his stature because I have rejected him. Humans do not see what the Lord sees,  * for humans see what is visible, but the Lord sees the heart."  *

9 Also, the women are to dress themselves in modest clothing,  * with decency and good sense, not with elaborate hairstyles, gold,  * pearls, or expensive apparel, 10 but with good works,  * as is proper for women who profess to worship God.

13 For it was you who created my inward parts;  *

you knit me together in my mother’s womb.  *

14 I will praise you

because I have been remarkably and wondrously made.  *,*

Your works are wondrous,

and I know this very well.  *

7 You are absolutely beautiful,  * my darling;

there is no imperfection in you.

27 So God created man in his own image;

he created him in the image of God;

he created them male and female.  *

10 For we are his workmanship, created  * in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time  * for us to do.

1 Arise, shine, for your light has come,  *

and the glory of the  Lord  shines over you.  *,*

8 The grass withers, the flowers fade,  *

but the word of our God remains forever."  *

16 Therefore we do not give up.  * Even though our outer person is being destroyed, our inner person  * is being renewed day by day.

25 "Therefore I tell you:*Don’t worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing?*
