    • That is, as the Bible uses the word “naked”?
  • Answer:
  • As women professing godliness
    • I Timothy 2:8-10
    • Modest:  “Well arranged, seemingly discreet” – Vine, Thayer, Bullinger
    • Shamefacedness:  “A sense of shame, is prominently objective in its reference, having regard to others.”  – Thayer
