None of those women would take off most of their clothes at a beach.

I can see your evil intention, and you a heathen?

I have no evil intentions.
I was just illustrating how the women of the world act, juxtaposed to your post.

the Lord's not saying of a woman, but many those who love the most

Psalms 140: 3

None of the women, cited in your post, would commit any sin at all.
They would be like the virginal bride of Christ.
Perfect !
Thanks be to God there are still women like that.

the Lord's not saying of a woman, but many those who love the most

Technically, the words speak of the church by Christ Jesus (Eph 3:21).
The church is the bride of Christ.

who will be so luck?

 

[Hopeful 2]

now that a lie

No, it is not a lie.
Those with real faith in God, and in His Son Jesus Christ, will remain repentant for the rest of their new lives.
They are sanctified by the blood of the Lamb, and will do everything they can to remain so.

 

[Hopeful 2]

who will be so luck?

Those who "turn from sin" permanently.

can you do this?

Romans 3: 10-12, Psalm 14: 1-3; Psalm 53: 1-3(ASV)

Have you got a point ?

 

[Hopeful 2]

can you do this?

Yes.
God gave men the gift of repentance, in our case from sin.
It can be and must be permanent or it is not really any kind of real "turn".
He gave us the gift of water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, for both the remission of past sins and for the destruction of the old man we once were.
And He gave us the gift of the Holy Ghost, to keep us on track and growing in grace and knowledge.

There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God.

ok if so are you willing to be tested

If it were a belting hot day, whyever not? Swimwear can be modest, can't it?

I doubt that Pr.31 was meant much more than to show the kind of wife that wise men should seek. To say, Ah, the Bride of Christ, raises questions such as, Who were the fellow elders alongside her husband, and who are her children (if not in the church, part of the bride)? Verse 30 is, incidentally, about Yahweh, not simply some lord: “Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised” (WEB). The KJV has [the LORD], meaning God’s name, not his lordship.

That the idealism of Pr.31 overlaps with what the Bride of Christ should be, I take as a given. That the Bride of Christ is not as she should be—until the lord returns—I take as a given.
