This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
To be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven (to oikētērion hēmōn to ex ouranou ependusasthai). First aorist middle infinitive of late verb ependuō, double compound (ep, en) to put upon oneself. Cf. ependutēs for a fisherman’s linen blouse or upper garment (Joh 21:7). Oikētērion is old word used here of the spiritual body as the abode of the spirit. It is a mixed metaphor (putting on as garment the dwelling-place).
