1 Peter 3:6 KJV [6] “even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.” We all know Abraham was a great man of faith, as we have read about in the Old and New Testaments.

Some take this verse out of context and teach that a woman should not wear a nice-looking dress, cut her hair, wear jewelry, or use makeup. Let me say that I do not object to women who hold to their convictions of plain dressing, wearing their hair in a bun, and …
