Which line contrasts outward adornment with godliness expressed through good works?

• A. In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array.
• B. The whoredom of a woman may be known by her eyelids
• C. Blessed is the man that hath a virtuous wife
• D. But ( which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

Answer: (D)

This line tests the idea that true godliness is shown by actions rather than outward appearance. It states that women professing godliness should be characterized “with good works,” linking faith to deeds as the proper expression of that faith. That explicit pairing—godliness with good works—highlights the contrast between inner virtue evidenced by actions and external adornment. The other lines mention modest dress or signs seen in appearance, or praise for a virtuous wife, but they don’t articulate the same clear contrast between outward decoration and the behavior that demonstrates godliness.
