A Biblical Study of Immodesty

 Over-dressing: dressing for show (1 Tim. 2:9b; 1 Pet. 3:3)  Under-dressing: certain parts of the body are exposed (1 Tim. 2:9a; “apparel” = Gr. katastole; a garment let down; a long garment; a robe)  This lesson is about under-dressing

 We are not to show “the shame of our nakedness” (Rev. 3:17-18; 16:15; see also 1 Sam. 20:30; Mic 1:11)  “Naked” in both Hebrew (erom) and Greek (gumnos) lexicons is defined as: 1. naked (without clothing, bare) and 2. without an outer garment

 Adam and Eve were completely nude; then, partially clothed (Gen. 2:25; 3:7)  Their “apron” was a girdle or loin- covering - NASV (3:7)  God’s “coat” was a tunic (NKJV) with sleeves, coming down to the knees (3:21; see 37:3)

Nude “Naked” Gen. 2:25 “Aprons” “Naked” Gen. 3:7-11 “Coats” “Clothed” Gen. 3:21

 Adam and Eve were naked  Adam and Eve sought to be clothed (rather than seeking to be unclothed)  Their clothing (“aprons”) was for the purpose of covering their nakedness  Their clothing was not sufficient for God’s standard – he “clothed” them

 Covering nakedness is not based upon culture (Africa, South America, etc.)  Covering nakedness is not limited to the Old Law (see 1 Pet. 3:5-6)  Covering is the primary goal of clothing, not style or looks  Covering has to meet God’s standard

 Complete (Job 1:21) or partial clothing  Nakedness may come as a result of some unforeseen hardship, disaster, persecution, etc. (Deut. 28:48; Mt. 25:36-45; Lk. 8:26ff; Rom. 8:35; 2 Cor. 11:27; Jas. 2:15)  Nakedness by choice is a sin!

 Pornography  Nudist camps or beaches  Sexual intercourse /Fornication / Adultery (Lev. 18:6-19; 20:11-21)

 Exposing the thigh (Ex. 20:26; 28:42- 43; Isa. 47:2-3)  Exposing the buttocks (Isa. 20:4)  Exposing under the skirt (Nah. 3:5)  Exposing the torso (Jn. 21:7)  Exposing the breasts (Ezek. 16:6-8)

Exposing Breasts Torso Mid-section Buttocks Thighs “Nakedness”

 Are you partially exposed?  Skirts and shorts that expose the thigh; mini-skirts; low-cut dress or blouse; navel or mid-drift exposed; strapless or backless dresses; swimsuits; bikinis; tube-tops; no shirts (on men); tight (spandex) or see-through, sheer clothing; some athletic, cheerleading, and dance team apparel  We must avoid the “attire of a harlot” (Prov. 7:10)

 Complete nudity or partially exposed  Reserved for a married couple (Gen. 2:25 – “not ashamed”; Prov. 5:18-19; S. of S. 5-7)

 Are you partially exposed? If so…  You will tempt others to sin (Job 31:1; Mt. 5:28; 18:6-7; Rom. 13:14)  You will act like the world (Rom. 12:1- 2; 1 Jn. 2:15-17)

 Are you partially exposed? If so…  You will lose your sense of shame (Gen. 9:20-23; Jer. 6:15; 1 Tim. 2:9-10)  You will not glorify God in your body (1 Cor. 6:20)
