Right.  I think this is what people get so confused about.  There are
some people who dress right and have a bad attitude and I think this is
why some people get confused.  The problem is not dressing right.  It's
the attitude.  We need an attitude of righteousness.  Of course this is
easier to obtain when we're not having to overcome those that want to get
rid of holiness all the time. :  )
