FAQ

What does the Bible say about showing your thighs?

The verses below clearly indicate what God expects from us as His sons and daughters. Revealing your thigh can be seen as revealing your nakedness to the public. However, you are free to reveal this within the comfort of your home, away from the public eyes.

Exodus 28:42 - "And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach:"

Isaiah 47:2-3 - "Take the millstones and grind flour, put off your veil, strip off your robe, uncover your legs, pass through the rivers. Your nakedness shall be uncovered, and your disgrace shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and I will spare no one."

What does the Bible say about showing off your body KJV?

It is important as a Christian to know that revealing sensitive parts of your body is a sin because your body is the temple of the Lord and should be kept holy.

Many people have been lured into lust within their hearts after being attracted to the nakedness of others.

1 Corinthians 6:19 – "Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. Since our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, we are not to show off our bodies in a way that is not pleasing to God."

This verse is telling us that we should not show off our bodies in a way that is not pleasing to God. God owns our body and we are to use it to glorify Him.

What does the Bible say about revealing clothes?

We live in times where fashion rules the day and controls our way of dressing. I have seen so many young beautiful girls wearing uncomfortable dressings, all in the name of fashion.

I see many of these ladies, while walking, keep pulling their short dress down from time to time, indicating that they know their short dress is too revealing and inappropriate. I ask myself, why wear it in the first place?

The Bible is clear that the origin of such fashion dresses is from the devil, and wearing revealing clothes can only attract a certain type of people to you. The God who formed us in our mother’s womb already made us beautiful in His eyes.

In 1 Peter 3:3-5, Apostle Peter addresses this issue – “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves.”
