Strong's Lexicon hetoimós: Ready, prepared Original Word: ἕτοιμος Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: hetoimós Pronunciation: heh-toy-MOS Phonetic Spelling: (het'-oy-moce) Definition: readily. Meaning: The term ἕτοιμος generally means "ready," "prepared," or "fit." It conveys a state of readiness or preparedness for a particular purpose or action. Word Origin: Derived from an old noun ἑτοιμος (hetoimos), meaning "fitness" or "readiness." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of readiness or preparedness in the Hebrew Bible is often expressed with words like כּוּן (kun, Strong's H3559), which means "to be firm, established, or prepared," and עָרוּךְ (aruk, Strong's H6186), meaning "arranged" or "set in order." These terms similarly convey the idea of being ready or prepared for action or divine purpose. Usage: The word ἕτοιμος is used in the New Testament to describe a state of readiness or preparedness, often in a spiritual or moral context. It can refer to being ready for an event, action, or the fulfillment of a duty. Context: The Greek word ἕτοιμος appears several times in the New Testament, emphasizing the importance of being prepared both physically and spiritually. In the Gospels, it is often used in the context of readiness for the coming of the Lord or the kingdom of God. For example, in Matthew 24:44, Jesus warns, "For this reason you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect." Here, ἕτοιμος underscores the necessity of spiritual vigilance and preparedness for the unexpected return of Christ. In 2 Timothy 4:6, Paul uses the term to express his readiness to face death, saying, "For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand." This usage highlights a readiness to fulfill one's calling and to meet the end of life with faith and confidence. The concept of readiness is also applied to good works and service. In Titus 3:1, believers are instructed to "be ready for every good work," indicating a preparedness to act in accordance with God's will and to serve others. Overall, ἕτοιμος conveys a sense of alertness and preparedness that is essential for living a faithful and obedient life in anticipation of God's plans and purposes.
