It conveys the idea of being equipped or furnished with the necessary abilities or qualities to perform a task or fulfill a role. In the New Testament, it often refers to the spiritual empowerment given by God to believers, enabling them to live out their faith and fulfill their divine calling.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, clothing often symbolized one's status, role, or identity. To be "clothed" with something could imply taking on a new role or being equipped for a specific purpose. In the context of the early Christian church, being "endued" with power from on high was a significant concept, as it related to the empowerment of believers by the Holy Spirit to carry out the mission of the church.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1722.htm">en</a> and <a href="/greek/1416.htm">dunó</a>, see <a href="/greek/1746.htm">enduó</a>. <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 1744: ἐνδύνω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐνδύνω</span></span> (<a href="/interlinear/2_timothy/3-6.htm">2 Timothy 3:6</a>) and <span class="greek2">ἐνδύω</span> (<a href="/interlinear/mark/15-17.htm">Mark 15:17</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>); 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐνέδυσά</span>; 1 aorist middle <span class="greek2">ἐνεδυσάμην</span>; perfect participle middle or passive <span class="greek2">ἐνδεδυμένος</span>; the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">לָבַשׁ</span>; as in the classics, <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> transitive, (properly, <span class="accented">to envelop in, to hide in</span>), <span class="accented">to put on</span>: <span class="greek2">τινα</span> <span class="greek2">τί</span>, a. in a literal sense, <span class="accented">to put on, clothe with</span> a garment: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/27-31.htm">Matthew 27:31</a>; (with <span class="greek2">τινα</span> alone, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/27-28.htm">Matthew 27:28</a> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> marginal reading); <a href="/interlinear/mark/15-17.htm">Mark 15:17</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>, 20; <a href="/interlinear/luke/15-22.htm">Luke 15:22</a>.
