Strong's Lexicon endiduskó: To clothe, to put on, to dress Original Word: ἐνδιδύσκω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: endiduskó Pronunciation: en-dee-DOO-skoh Phonetic Spelling: (en-did-oos'-ko) Definition: (somewhat rare) (of clothing: I put on another); mid: I put on (myself). Meaning: To clothe or dress oneself; to put on garments. Word Origin: From the preposition ἐν (en, "in") and the verb διδύσκω (dīdýskō, "to put on" or "to clothe"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐνδιδύσκω, the concept of clothing oneself with virtues or righteousness can be related to several Hebrew terms used in the Old Testament. For example: - לבש (labash, Strong's Hebrew 3847): To clothe, wear, or put on. This term is used in various contexts, including the literal act of dressing and the metaphorical sense of adopting righteousness or salvation (e.g., Isaiah 61:10). These Hebrew and Greek terms together illustrate the biblical motif of clothing as a metaphor for spiritual transformation and the adoption of divine attributes. Usage: The verb ἐνδιδύσκω is used in the context of dressing or clothing oneself, often with a metaphorical or spiritual implication in the New Testament. Context: The Greek verb ἐνδιδύσκω appears in the New Testament with the primary meaning of "to clothe" or "to put on." This term is often used metaphorically to describe the act of adopting certain virtues or characteristics, akin to putting on clothing. In the Berean Standard Bible, this concept is illustrated in passages that encourage believers to "put on" the new self or to clothe themselves with virtues such as compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. For example, in Colossians 3:12, the Apostle Paul exhorts believers: "Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience." Here, ἐνδιδύσκω is used to convey the idea of adopting a Christ-like character, emphasizing the transformative aspect of the Christian life. The use of ἐνδιδύσκω in the New Testament underscores the importance of intentional spiritual growth and the active pursuit of godly attributes. It reflects the biblical theme of transformation and renewal, where believers are called to shed their old selves and embrace a new identity in Christ.
