Questions and Answers on Scripture: From the Bible Treasury, Meaning of 2 Corinthians 5:3? (5:3)
Question: What means 2 Cor. 5:3?
Answer: A solemn warning that, though the deniers of the resurrection were all wrong, one may have a risen body, but he destitute of Christ, as all in fact will be who are not born of God. All must be clothed, all must rise; but then will be manifest that not to have Christ is to be found naked. The risen body of the wicked will not cover but reveal that unspeakable loss.
