Biblical modesty transcends clothing and pertains also to our demeanor, that is, our actions and conduct. Our conduct is, of course, ultimately rooted in the state of our hearts. The two are inseperable. The critical step in cultivating modesty is to cultivate the heart. As a Christian woman nurtures her relationship with Christ and grows in grace and knowledge, she will also be nurturing the virtue of modesty.
All that we say should have the scent of grace and gratitude upon it; our demeanor and our clothing should be the same.
from the book 'The Beauty of Modesty'
"And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." Colossians 3:17
