Hi. What's the translation of sharp please ? Thank you. I have no idea what it could be here.

he shouted , come down and make me a wife. For God made Adam a wife. he wanted a woman who had traditional values, who didn't want to be naked, sexy, sharp, conforming to this modern image of worldly attitudes and appetites. He wanted a wife who was simple, humble and real. The agenda at that church site was to normalize homosexuality . Make it look as innocent as little kids and puppies.

Gritaba baja y hazme una esposa .Ya que Dios le hizo a adán una esposa . quería una mujer que tuviese valores tradicionales, la cual no quería estar desnuda, sexy, inescrupulosa, conformada a esta imagen moderna de actitudes mundanas y apetitos .Queria una esposa que era sencilla , humilde y real .El agenda en ese sitio de iglesia era de normalizar la homosexualidad .Hacer que se vea tan inocente como niñitos y cachorros .

Explanation:
It highly depends on the connotation you want to give. if it's negative, it's mordaz if it's positive, I'd go with astuta.

"sharp" tiene muchas acepciones como señalas y no es fácil saber exactamente de que se trata en tu contexto...es muy ambiguo y podría significar "inteligente" o "rápida"... de todas maneras es una estrategia abominable para devaluar y sujetar a la mujer
