gumnos describes being without clothing, and in one seed image, being bare rather than the body to come.

The term most often marks people as without clothing or in need of it, whether after flight, in poverty, or as the condition answered by clothing. It also describes exposure in figurative statements and, in a seed comparison, a seed as bare rather than the body that will be.

1. Without clothing or needing to be clothed · dominant

   The forms describe persons without clothing in concrete scenes: in Acts 19:16 the men flee after being overpowered, and the APB renders them “naked and wounded”; in John 21:7 Peter puts on his coat before entering the sea. In Matthew 25:36, Matthew 25:38, Matthew 25:43, and Matthew 25:44, the condition is paired with clothing or the failure to clothe.

   Acts 19:16John 21:7Mark 14:52Matthew 25:36Matthew 25:38James 2:15
2. Exposed or deprived condition in figurative statements · common

   In 2 Corinthians 5:3, the nominative plural form occurs in a statement about putting something on and not being found in this condition. Hebrews 4:13 applies the neuter plural form to “all things” before God's eyes, while Revelation 3:17 places the nominative singular form among descriptions of the one who does not recognize his own condition.

3. Bare seed · rare

   In 1 Corinthians 15:37, the accusative singular form describes what is sown in contrast with “the body that is to be”; the APB renders the clause “a bare seed.”

   1 Corinthians 15:37

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the condition with “naked,” including scenes of flight, need, and exposure, and renders the seed comparison as “a bare seed” in 1 Corinthians 15:37. These English expressions present the clauses as a whole rather than providing word-by-word alignment.
