Behavior or appearance that is humble, moderate, and decent. A modest person avoids excesses and pretensions.

God made coats of skins, and clothed Adam and Eve, Gen. 3: 21 (Moses 4: 27). Women adorn themselves in modest apparel, 1 Tim. 2: 9. Be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, Titus 2: 5. Many are lifted up in pride because of the costliness of their apparel, Jacob 2: 13. Let all thy garments be plain, D&C 42: 40. We believe in being chaste and virtuous, A of F 1: 13.
