Cleanliness becomes more important when godliness is unlikely.

Summary

This quote suggests that cleanliness is particularly valued and emphasized when spiritual purity or holiness is lacking. In the absence of godliness, maintaining cleanliness acts as a substitute or a means to compensate for the lack of spiritual alignment. It implies that individuals may place a greater focus on external cleanliness, such as physical hygiene and orderliness, to create a sense of balance or righteousness in their lives.
