More on nakedness and clothing

Having previous posts from lord_wilmore in mind on the topic of uncleanness vs purity linked to nakedness vs clothing (see here, here and here), 2nd Nephi 9:14 caught my attention this morning
14 Wherefore, we shall have a perfect knowledge of all our guilt, and our uncleanness, and our nakedness; and the righteous shall have a perfect knowledge of their enjoyment, and their righteousness, being clothed with purity, yea, even with the robe of righteousness.
Another interesting verse in this context is 3rd Nephi 11:8, where Mormon makes sure to mention what Jesus is wearing
And it came to pass, as they understood they cast their eyes up again towards heaven; and behold, they saw a Man descending out of heaven; and he was clothed in a white robe
Obviously, the white robe or robe of righteousness represents purity, as opposed to uncleanness which is linked to nakedness (i.e. the lack of such a robe)
