    In Luke 7:25 and Matthew 11:8, the perfect passive participle describes a man as clothed in soft clothing or garments; the clauses then refer to those in honored clothing or those who wear soft garments. In Matthew 6:30, the present active form occurs in the statement that God clothes the grass of the field.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the participial clauses in Luke 7:25 and Matthew 11:8 as "clothed" and "wear," and Matthew 6:30 as "clothes." These renderings confirm the clauses' clothing imagery rather than isolate every contribution of the Greek form.
