基督徒姊妹要有廉耻心。你的衣裳若能成为你脸的框架，使神的荣耀从你的脸上照耀出来，那是合适的，或如果你的衣裳若把人的注意力集中在你的脸上，那也是合适的。然而你的衣裳若把人的注意力集中在你的身材上，让人看到你的身体轮廓，那么这是妖媚，这是风骚。你做的事是错的。
保罗·华许 – 基督徒姊妹应如何装饰自己？
同样,我愿女人来妆饰自己。
保罗愿女人来妆饰自己。
好。
所以，妆饰不是一件坏事。
但这种妆饰,我们会在第10节看到,
它是指善行,
敬虔,
一个沉静和顺服的心。
现在，
让我们继续看。
他说,我愿女人以正派衣裳为妆饰。
这里告诉我,确实有一些衣裳不适合基督徒女人穿。
对吗?这就是逻辑。
确实有衣裳不适合基督徒女人穿。
他说要以廉耻为衣裳。
廉耻这点很重要，原文按照字面是这么说的:
要以正派廉耻的衣裳为妆饰。
所以,要有廉耻心。
我的妻子有说过一句很好的话。
她说，”你的衣裳若能成为你脸的框架,
使神的荣耀从你的脸上照耀出来,那是合适的。 “
衣裳若把人的注意力集中在你的脸上，(那是合适的。)
衣裳若把人的注意力集中在你的身材上,
让人看到你的身体轮廓,
那么这是妖媚,这是风骚。
你做的事是错的。
现在,我想暂时往后退一步。
女人们,你需要理解这点。
男人没有你想的那么糊涂。
我的妻子和我在伊利诺伊州有一个朋友,
她是一个非常漂亮的女士,特别漂亮。
她现在若从那扇门中走进来,
这间房子里的每一个男人若回头看她,
都会说,
“这是一个很漂亮的女士。”
“这是一个十分高雅的女士。”
“这是一个非常美丽的女士。”
男人会这么认为。
但是女士们,还有一个女人,
她没有我刚刚描述给你的那位女士一半漂亮,
不管是脸还是身材,
在她走进门的那一刻,
每一个男人都听见门打开了,就回头看,
他若是一个敬虔的男人,他会转头不看。
因为这不是美,
这是妖媚。
尽管你无法完全写下这些条规,
把这全部写在纸上,
但在你看见时,你是知道的。
美和妖媚有一个区别。
神不反对美。
神反对妖媚。
在腓立比书,我们被告知要去思念这些凡有美名的,
可敬的,
公义的,
正直的,
真实的事。
一个女人穿衣打扮的方式应当有这些特征:
廉耻,
自守,
智慧,
美,
高雅,
精致。
而不是：
妖媚,
奢侈,
浪费。
女士们,浪费是当你的丈夫想你取下你的耳环,
好让他把那些耳环做成钓大鱼的饵料。
现在,女士们,你知道我有给你丈夫很多的任务,
我也要给你一个。
试图去寻找这其中的涵义,去走主带领你走的路,无论是哪里。
最吸引人的女人
是一个看上去满有智慧,
又自守,
又高尚,
又简单的女人。
简单。
她就是有一种简单的美。
Paul Washer – How a Christian Woman is to Adorn Herself
Likewise I want women to adorn themselves. Now, he wants women to adorn themselves. OK? So adornment’s not bad. But that adornment, we are going to see if in verse 10, it’s good works, godliness, a quiet and submissive spirit. Now… Lets go on. He says “I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing.” That tells me that there is clothing that is improper for a Christian women. Alright? I mean, that’s just logic. There is clothing that is improper for a Christian women. Now he says the clothing must be “modest”. This is very important, it’s literally “proper clothing with modesty” is the way it goes in the original text. So, with modesty. My wife, has a really good thing that she says. She goes “If your clothing is a frame for your face, from which the glory of God is to shine, it’s proper.” If it draws attention to your face. If your clothing draws attention to your body, to outline it, to make it noticed, then it’s sensual – it’s sensual. What your doing is wrong. Now, I want to step away just for a second.
Women, you need to understand something. Men are not as dumb as you think they are. My wife and I have a friend in Illinois, and she is a very pretty lady, very pretty. If she walked in that door right now, every man in this room, if he turned and saw her, this is what they would say: “Well that’s a very pretty lady.” “That’s a very elegant lady.” “That’s a beautiful lady.” And that’s what they would think. But ladies there are also women who are not half as attractive as that lady I described to you. Either in their face or in their body. And they could walk in that door. And the moment every man heard the door open, and he looked over there, if he was a godly man, he would have to turn his head. Because it’s not beauty. It’s sensuality. And even though you can’t exactly write down the rules and put it all on paper. When you see it, you know it. There is a difference between beauty and sensuality. And God is not against beauty. He is against sensuality.
In Philippians, we are told to think about things that are excellent, that are noble that are just that is right that is true. The way a woman carries herself and the way she dresses ought to promote the following types of words. Modesty. Discretion. Wisdom. Beauty. Elegance. Refinement. But not: Sensuality. Luxury. Extravagance. You know, extravagance ladies is when your husband wants you to take off your earrings so he can make them into lures to catch northern pike(fish).
Now, ladies, I’ve been giving your husbands a lot of tasks. Let me give you one. Seek to find out what this means and go wherever the Lord shows you. There is nothing more attractive than a woman who has this look of wisdom and discretion and nobility and simplicity. Simplicity. It’s just a simple beauty about her.
