ἐπεν-δύνω G1902
to put on over existing clothing; to be clothed upon or further clothed
This middle voice verb means to put on additional clothing over what one already wears. Paul uses it metaphorically in 2 Corinthians 5 to describe the believer's longing to be 'further clothed' with the heavenly dwelling. The Spanish 'ser revestidos' (to be clothed over) and German 'überkleiden' (to clothe over) both capture the layering concept. Rather than nakedness (stripping off the earthly body), Paul emphasizes adding the resurrection body over the present one—a transformation that completes rather than replaces.

1. sense 1 — The multilingual evidence strongly emphasizes the 'over' or 'upon' aspect: Spanish 'ser revestidos' (to be clothed over), French 'se revêtir' (to clothe oneself), German 'überkleiden' (to clothe over). Both occurrences appear in 2 Corinthians 5:2-4, where Paul expresses the Christian hope not for disembodied existence but for being 'further clothed'—receiving the resurrection body as an additional garment over the mortal one. This metaphor conveys continuity between present and future embodiment rather than replacement. 2×
