Strong's Lexicon hetoimos: Ready, prepared Original Word: ἕτοιμος Word Origin: Derived from an old noun ἑτοιμότης (hetoimotēs), meaning readiness or preparation. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is כּוּן (kun), Strong's Hebrew 3559, which means to be firm, established, or prepared. Usage: The Greek word "hetoimos" conveys the idea of being ready or prepared for a task or event. It is often used in the New Testament to describe a state of readiness, whether it be for a physical journey, a spiritual task, or the return of Christ. The term implies a sense of anticipation and preparedness, both physically and spiritually. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, readiness was a valued trait, especially in military and civic contexts. Soldiers needed to be ready for battle, and citizens were expected to be prepared for civic duties. In the Jewish context, readiness also had a spiritual dimension, as seen in the preparation for the Sabbath and other religious observances. The New Testament writers used "hetoimos" to encourage believers to be spiritually prepared for the coming of the Lord and to live lives that reflect readiness for His return.
