Woe to Those Who Walk in Pretense

Question asked by Timothy, for his wife: Lord, is it OK to wear jewelry with symbols of faith, such as crosses?

"Yet woe to those who wear such symbols for the sake of vanity, or as a trophy or sign of their own goodness or beliefs. For by their actions they do always blaspheme, taking the name of The Lord in vain, though they have not opened their mouths to speak.
And woe to those who dwell in the limelight, whose showmanship is likened unto a star. Woe to those who adorn themselves with all manner of sparkling ornaments, fine jewelry and expensive apparel, while also bearing symbols of the cross, for theirs is the greater sin.
Thus under the guise of pretense and false glory is their true raiment hidden. For they do not know Me, neither do I live in them."
