Which verse indicates that women professing godliness should adorn themselves with good works?

• A. But ( which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
• B. In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel...
• C. The whoredom of a woman may be known by her eyelids.
• D. Blessed is the man that hath a virtuous wife.

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is that true adornment for women who profess godliness is their good works, not external appearance. In the verse, the phrase But which becometh women professing godliness with good works is the key: it shows that what becomes a godly woman is the display of good deeds. Here, becometh means fitting or proper, so the statement sets good works as the appropriate adornment for those who live in a godly way. While other lines touch on modest apparel or other topics, they don’t state that the adornment consists of good works in the same direct way. Thus this verse uniquely communicates that the outward display of a godly life comes through actions and deeds aligned with faith.
