It often carries a metaphorical sense, referring to adopting certain virtues or characteristics, akin to putting on garments. This usage underscores the transformative aspect of Christian living, where believers are encouraged to "put on" the new self or Christ-like attributes.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, clothing was not only a necessity but also a symbol of identity, status, and transformation. The act of putting on new clothes could signify a change in status or role, such as a rite of passage or a new beginning. In the Jewish tradition, clothing also held symbolic meaning, often representing righteousness or purity. The metaphor of clothing oneself with virtues would resonate with early Christians familiar with these cultural and religious connotations.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prol. form of <a href="/greek/1746.htm">enduó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to put on, be clothed with<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>dressed (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1737: ἐνδιδύσκω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐνδιδύσκω</span></span> (equivalent to <span class="greek2">ἐνδύω</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 56 (49)));
