This past weekend, I came across these verses at a retreat, and I thought they were a perfect summary of how we Christian women can live out our faith. Enjoy!

2. Proverbs 31:30 "Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."

3. Romans 12:1-2 "I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship. Do not conform yourselves to this age, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect."

4. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been purchased at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body."

5. 1 Timothy 2:9-10 "Similarly, women should adorn themselves with proper conduct, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hairstyles and gold ornaments, or pearls, but rather as befits women who profess reverence for God, with good deeds."

6. Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you, and gave Himself up for us, and offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."
