What Does the Bible Say About Beauty?
Key Scriptures and spiritual guidance on beauty
Библия упоминает красоту в разных местах, обращая внимание на то, что истинная красота проистекает изнутри. Она призывает не уделять слишком много внимания внешнему облику, но сконцентрироваться на духовной красоте и нежности сердца. Библия учит, что красота не должна быть источником гордости, но важно стремиться к святой и непорочной жизни перед Богом.
