Garments in the Bible: Matthew 23:5-7


The garments we wear can be a signifier of what we find important in life. For the religious leaders of Jesus' time, their garments were part and parcel of their spiritual practices; however, they used them as a way of coercing their way into places of honor.

Matthew 23:5-7 (KJV)

 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”
- 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
