There should be no carelessness in dress. For Christ’s sake, whose witnesses we are, we should seek to make the best of our appearance. In the tabernacle service, God specified every detail concerning the garments of those who ministered before Him. Thus we are taught that He has a preference in regard to the dress of those who serve Him. Very specific were the directions given in regard to Aaron’s robes, for his dress was symbolic. So the dress of Christ’s followers should be symbolic. In all things we are to be representatives of Him. Our appearance in every respect should be characterized by neatness, modesty, and purity. But the word of God gives no sanction to the making of changes in apparel merely for the sake of fashion, that we may appear like the world. Christians are not to decorate the person with costly array or expensive ornaments. {6T 96.2}

Der bør ikke vises nogen ligegyldighed i spørgsmålet om påklædning. For Kristi skyld, hvis vidner vi er, bør vort ydre udseende ... være det bedst mulige. I tabernakeltjenesten foreskrev Herren selv de mindste ting vedrørende deres påklædning, der gjorde tjeneste for hans åsyn. Dette viser os, at hans tjeneres klædning ikke er ham ligegyldig. Meget nøjagtige var de forskrifter, der blev givet angående Arons klæder; for hans dragt havde en symbolsk betydning. Således bør Kristi efterfølgeres påklædning være symbolsk. Vi skal i alle ting være hans repræsentanter. Vort ydre bør i enhver henseende være præget af properhed, sømmelighed og renhed. Men Guds ord billiger ikke, at man forandrer klædedragten blot for modens skyld for at man skal ligne verden. Kristne bør ikke pryde deres legemer med kostbar dragt eller dyre smykker.
