Topic(s): Bible Authority, Worship

Todd Clippard

Unlike with some of the priestly garb of the Mosaic Law (Exodus 28) there is no specified dress code for worship. 1 Timothy 2 teaches that we are to dress modestly. I have always understood this in two senses:

1) not to dress in such a way as to draw attention to oneself as being prosperous (I think this fits the context of 1 Tim 2); and
2) not to dress in such a way as to draw sexual attentions to oneself.

I'm sorry I cannot be more specific than this, but anything beyond this would be purely speculative on my part.
