The Greek noun enduma refers to clothing or a garment — particularly an outer robe or covering. Jesus uses it figuratively in the Sermon on the Mount to warn about false prophets who come in sheep's enduma while being ravenous wolves.
Enduma in Matthew 7:15 is perhaps the most theologically charged use of the word for clothing in the New Testament: 'Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing (enduma), but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.' The warning is about the deception of surface appearance — the enduma does not reveal the nature within. This same concern for authentic inner transformation versus external religious appearance runs throughout Scripture. In Matthew 22:11-12, a man without a wedding enduma is expelled — he sought the feast without the appropriate preparation. In Revelation 3:18, Christ counsels the Laodicean church to buy from Him 'white clothes (enduma) to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness.' Only Christ's righteousness constitutes proper spiritual clothing.
