Genesis 3:7 - fig leaves an insufficient covering (I Cor 12:23,24; Lev 18:18). 3. Genesis 3:21 - God made tunics of skin. “Tunic” - kuttonet “a long shirt-like garment.” 4. Exodus 28: the priest’s garments. 5. I Peter 3:3,4 - showy adornment. B. Are we responsible for what others think? 1. Each of us is ultimately responsible for our own thoughts (James 1:13,14). 2. Christians must never put stumbling blocks before others (Romans 14:7-13).
