"to take off, strip off," is used especially of clothes, and rendered "to strip" in Matthew 27:28 (some mss. have enduo, "to clothe"), and Luke 10:30; to take off, Matthew 27:31; Mark 15:20; figuratively, 2 Corinthians 5:4 , "unclothed" (Middle Voice), of putting off the body at death (the believer's state of being unclothed does not refer to the body in the grave but to the spirit, which awaits the "body of glory" at the resurrection).
