Usage: The word γυμνός is used in various contexts in the New Testament, often to describe physical nakedness or a state of being without clothing. It can also be used metaphorically to describe spiritual or moral exposure. Context: The Greek term γυμνός appears in several New Testament passages, illustrating both literal and figurative uses. In Matthew 25:36, Jesus speaks of clothing the naked as an act of mercy: "I was naked and you clothed Me." This highlights the physical state of being without clothing and the compassionate response expected of believers.
