• It is one of the few passages which treat of the intermediate state, as well as of the resurrection or change of the body for glory (“Notes on 2 Corinthians 5:1-3” by W. Kelly)
• The resurrection of the body for all will be the clothing of all, though not of all at the same time nor with like result, but with the most marked contrasts and unchanging issues. For when the wicked are raised, they may and shall be clothed indeed, but shall be found naked. (“Notes on 2 Corinthians 5:1-3” by W. Kelly)
• The words “clothed” or “unclothed” refer to the being in or out of the body; “naked” to being destitute of Christ. (“Notes on 2 Corinthians 5:1-3” by W. Kelly)
