Outward simplicity befits ordinary men, like a garment made to measure for them; but it serves as an adornment to those who have filled their lives with great deeds: they might be compared to some beauty carelessly dressed and thereby all the more attractive.

Groundless superstition ill befits an army; valor is the only deity that rules in the warrior's breast.

1 Peter 4:10:
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.
(NIV)
As each of you has received a gift (a particular spiritual talent, a gracious divine endowment), employ it for one another as [befits] good trustees of God's many-sided grace [faithful stewards of the extremely diverse powers and gifts granted to Christians by unmerited favor].
(AMP)
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
(KJV)

They'll take suggestion as a cat laps milk; They'll tell the clock to any business that We say befits the hour.
