3 1. Beware of those with seductive words.

Proverbs 7:4-5 Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," and call

; understanding your kinsman; they will keep you from the

adulteress, from the wayward wife with her seductivewords.
Ephesians 5:4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or
; coarsejoking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
Proverbs 21:23 He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps

; himself from calamity.

Proverbs 6:23-25 For these commands are a lamp, this teaching
is a light, and the corrections of discipline are the way to life,
d keeping you from the immoral woman, from the smooth tongue
of the wayward wife. Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or
let her captivate you with her eyes.

4. Seductive women, in the prophets' time, faced God's discipline.
Isaiah 3:16-17 The LORDsays, "The women of Zion are haughty,
;:
walking along with outstretched necks, flirting with their eyes,
tripping along with mincing steps, with ornaments jingling on their
ankles. Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the
~
women of Zion; the LORD will make their scalps bald."

5. Positive biblical example. E:

1 Peter 3:3-6 Your beauty should not come from outward
adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry
I:
and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the
unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth
in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who
put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They ;;
were submissive to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed
Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you
do what is right and do not give way to fear. ;;
